RESPECT As we begin our school year, it is important that we set out our standards for respect from the beginning. Simple things like a smile, good eye contact or a “hello” can make a huge difference when forming relationships with new friends and helping others. Small gestures towards others show that you value them and will help to build respect. In the month of September we will be focusing on the Christian value - RESPECT. This is also one of our Key School values. As a whole school community, we will be discussing what RESPECT means and what it should look like within each classroom. We will be looking at: How we show respect for each other and adults in the school community. How children are encouraged to value and respect their own and other people’s belongings. How children are encouraged to show tolerance by accepting feelings, habits or beliefs, racial or ethnic origins that are different from their own. What patience, kindness and good manners should look like in our classroom.   [Open Document] | ☕ Coffee Morning ☕ - Friends Of Mullinahoe - Coffee Morning on Sunday 28th of September from 12.00 - 2.00 pm in the Ardboe Community Centre.

🌿The Listening Walk: A Built-In Outdoor Classroom Learning Activity

Back to News
26th Nov 2024

Today for their outdoor learning activity the children went on a listening walk. The practice of active listening, especially in a nature setting, can be a powerful teaching tool. 

The main focus for today was to get the children to remain silent, actively listen, and focus on every sound that they heard around them. 

When the children really listen to the background sounds, they realise how much they can notice when they pay attention. A listening walk is also a great way for children to pay attention to what’s happening right now, within the moment. 

We stopped at various places on our walk and listened very carefully for birds singing in the trees. At each stop, we left a little gift for the birds to enjoy.
