Pupils in Key stage 2 through to Key stage 5 had the opportunity to visit Omagh library as part of Libraries NI Class Visits’.

This programme supported the following areas of the Northern Ireland Curriculum:

  • Extending the range of reading beyond the school environment
  • Developing reading preferences
  • Reading silently for pleasure
  • Using traditional and electronic sources to locate, select and borrow books.

The visits were informative and enjoyable. Most of our pupils are now members of Omagh Library and many of them are visiting the library out of school hours with members of their family.

 

Scottish author 'Stuart Reid' visits Arvalee School

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Arvalee School hosted a visit from the award-winning Scottish author Stuart Reid.

The pupils enjoyed an enthusiastic and energetic book reading and creative writing workshop. The Scottish author engaged with the pupils, and they laughed throughout a very enjoyable learning experience.

It was an appealing way in which to inspire the pupils to read and write for pleasure.

Miss Conway's class learn about the Arctic

 
 
 
 

Miss Conway's class are learning about the 'Polar Regions' and have been very lucky to hear and learn about the Arctic from Emma Denton who has been on an Arctic expedition. The pupils interviewed Emma about her expedition to the Arctic, as part of our Science topic 'The Polar Regions'. We learnt about the people and animals that live there, different modes of transport and how to keep warm in such a cold environment! We also talked about climate change and how we can look after our world better.
