Congratulations to the 4th, 5th & 6th Class Girls’ Football Team who took part in four games over the last few weeks while taking part in the Cumann na mBunscol School League. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in going forward to the final but the standard and performance from the girls in all their games was outstanding. Thank you to the coach Darragh Flanagan and to the girls for their dedication and commitment to their team.  Well done girls!

5th & 6th Class made the most amazing pom-pom flower bouquets for all the wonderful mammies for Mother’s Day!

Well done to the pupils of 5th & 6th Class who organised, planned and performed a wonderful fashion show as Gaeilge using language learned from our Irish lessons over the last few weeks on the theme of ‘Éadaí’. It was a huge success!

There has been a hive of activity in 5th & 6th class over the last few weeks. The pupils researched and compiled impressive projects on an island and an interesting building of their choice. In Irish they took to debating, in delivering arguments for living in the city versus living in the countryside. The pupils learned about writing poetry and to date have both created and performed some very interesting pieces of poetry. In Maths the boys and girls engaged in constructing 3D shapes. In Science the pupils investigated the properties and characteristics of materials and lots of fun was derived from designing and carrying out experiments in this area.

We finished our first novel and integrated with this learning was making clay famine cottages which were truly spectacular.

The pupils really enjoyed their 6 week course with the Bike Green Cycle Right Programme where they learned to be more competent and confident cyclists.

For Christmas 5^th and 6^th class produced a show stopping performance and made some amazing festive windows and snowflakes to decorate our classroom.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!!

What a wonderful first term we have had!!  5^th and 6^th Class have been so busy…

They investigated and researched the Romans from which impressive projects emerged. They designed and made Roman inspired pottery. In Gaeilge the pupils learned about the topics of ‘Mé Féin’ and ‘Bia’. Delicious menus and recipes were planned as a result. In Science the pupils took part in experiments based on Light which proved both successful and informative. This in turn led to individual projects on ‘The Eye’, the standard of which were truly amazing! Lots of learning and fun took place on the theme of Halloween with Picasso Frankenstein Art work, poetry, report writing on Halloween traditions not to mention engaging in a variety of games & activities and of course having a Halloween party with a movie and lots of treats! Well done on all of your hard efforts this term 5^th & 6^th class. Have a SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN and looking forward to what our next term brings!!
