As part of our Green Schools Campaign, Ms Atkinson’s class were very lucky to travel to ‘Lough Neagh Discovery and Conference Centre’ in Craigavon, County Armagh on Friday 5th April 2019. Children were given a tour of the centre, went pond-dipping for mini-beasts and spent some time bird-watching.
We are very lucky in Ms Atkinson’s class to have Ms McMahon here for April and May to help us with our learning. We spent week one with Ms McMahon getting to know her better. We created these beautiful ‘I Am’ poems highlighting our different skills and qualities.
Congratulations to the children from Ms Atkinson’s room who took part in the FAI five-a-side tournament in Gortakeegan on Tuesday 2nd and Thursday 4th April. Both teams played brilliantly and had great fun on the day.
A huge thank you to Peter and Ewan for volunteering their time to coach both teams in preparation for the day.
We are very proud of you all!
Congratulations to Eva, Isobel and Grace who took part in the All-Ireland Variety Show in Traboolgan, County Cork on Sunday 24th March 2019. The girls took home numerous trophies and came first place overall as part of the ‘Born to Perform’ stage school.
We are super proud of the three girls!
Ms Atkinson’s class learned all about a group of animals known as invertebrates this March. They then went on a search around the school grounds for these mini-beasts, and used a key to identify what type of invertebrate they had found.
This term we are very lucky to be joined by a Gaelic coach for P.E. The children have been learning the skills necessary to participate in a GAA match.
In addition to our ceolchoirm, Ms Atkinson’s class also held a Tráth na gCeist to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge. Check out the photos below!
We would like to say a huge thank you to Amanda, Pauline and Joan, our parent volunteers, who gave up their time on Tuesday 5th March to come in and cook some beautiful pancakes for the children for Pancake Tuesday.
The children had a fantastic morning and we very much appreciate it!
Incredible Edibles is a healthy eating initiative for Primary School pupils. It encourages schools across the country to get busy growing carrots, lettuce, potatoes, strawberries, turnips and herbs. Schools are supplied with grow packs containing everything they need to grow a veritable feast of healthy foods!
Ms Atkinson’s class are very lucky to be taking part in this initiative this year. We planted our seeds in early March, so it is now just a matter of waiting for nature to do its job!
We were very busy on Friday 1st February in Ms. Atkinson’s room making St. Brigid’s Crosses to celebrate St. Brigid’s Day. St. Brigid’s Crosses are made from woven rushes, and are thought to keep evil, fire and hunger from the homes in which they are displayed.
Well done everyone!
