EGGCITED in 1st and 2nd Class

Written by

We have been ‘Busy Bunnies’ this week in 1st & 2nd Class and we have learned alot about Easter.  We learned about the Easter Story in Religion, we did jigsaws, word searches and oral language activities in Irish, Easter addition and dice games in maths and corrected the Bunny’s mistakes, and cracked the code in English.  In Art we made some bunnies of our own. We made delicious Easter nests and we even got to meet the Easter Bunny himself.  It really was an EGGCITING week all round!! ‘HOPPY EASTER’ everyone!

 

Autism Awareness Day 2022

Written by

On Friday 1st April 2022 we celebrated Autism Awareness Day. Firstly, we recapped on what we had learned last year about autism. We then learned about living with autism from the perspective of Megan, a ten year old girl from Canada whose little brother Matt has autism. We learned a lot from watching Megan go through daily life, and we have definitely taken away some brilliant ways to help make life easier for someone with autism. We also wore blue on the day to support Autism Awareness!

Thank you to all of the boys and girls for taking part.

For our fifth week of cookery we decided to take the healthy option and made some delicious smoothies. We used strawberries, yogurt and orange juice and had great fun ‘whizzing’ everything together in the blender!! We then cooled down after our Gaelic session, while enjoying our smoothies outdoors.

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!

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!

We have been very busy in the infant classroom lately. We are lucky to be joined by Ms Collier, a student teacher, over the next few weeks. We are still enjoying our GAA coaching every week with Cillian, and have also been flat out baking every Tuesday! You can see some of the yummy treats that we have made so far below!

 

We also held a Lá Glás to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge. The children went on a leprechaun hunt around that school grounds and although we spotted a few, we didn’t manage to catch one!
