3rd and 4th Class – November News

Written by

It has been a busy month in 3rd and 4th class.

In Maths we have been learning about fractions, decimals, multiplication and division. The children faced these challenging concepts will determination and should be really proud of their hard work.

In English, we started our Class Novel – ‘An Eagle in the Snow’. We know already that it is going to be a very interesting read.

We have been looking at the Aimsir Chaite in Irish and the children have been learning Na Briathra Rialta – An Chéad Réimniú agus An Dara Réimniú. We have now moved on to Na Briathra Neamhrialta and the children have even learned a song to help them remember these.

We explore the Vikings and made our very own Viking Brooch using paint, cardboard and pasta.

The children used the brand new tablets to research some artic animals including polar bear, the artic fox, the artic hare, the walrus and even reindeer.

Finally, we created some amazing art work based on The Starry Night by Van Gogh – these turned out to be simply spectacular.

As we approach the most wonderful time of year, we have lots of fun activities ahead for December!

October in 3rd and 4th Class

Written by

Well, what a busy few weeks it has been in Mrs. Lennon’s Room. We have been exploring 2D shapes and using cubes to help us understand division in Maths.

 

 

Miss Connolly taught us all about space and we made our very own rockets to launch!

The boys and girls were very lucky to head on a trip to Cloghan GAA grounds to take part in this year’s Blitz – the first to happen in a long time! The weather was great, the children were all fantastic and we had an absolute ball! Mrs. Lennon was very proud of each and every one of the children, both for their excellent behaviour and fantastic sportsmanship!

We finished October on a high with Halloween celebrations. Such an amazing effort made by everyone dressing up. We played games, watched movies, had a Halloween Parade and tucked into a treat or two. Thank goodness there weren’t many tricks!

 

Enjoy the holidays everyone and stay safe!

End of Year in 5th and 6th Class

The last few weeks of this school year were a hive of activity. We took part in the Magical Leaders Programme led by Enterprise Ireland. The boys and girls designed and created amazing 3D constructions. We had a few trips to the park, played Tag Rugby for an afternoon at the football field, enjoyed mouth-watering ice cream from the surprise ice-cream van and we were enthralled by the amazingly talented magician Keith who put on a captivating show for all classes. 5th class did a treasure hunt, made a delicious biscuit cake and had a wonderful summer party. 6th class worked as a team on various outdoor projects including yard painting, planting in our friendship garden and enjoyed their Graduation party and treats following their online end of year ceremony.

Have a wonderful summer boys and girls!!
