We really enjoyed Engineers week as we built our very own catapults to send some objects flying across the room as well as building towers made from sticks and marshmallows. The children were very creative and worked extremely well in pairs and groups.
Cooking was a success this week with our St. Patrick’s Day themed Rice Krispie Squares – Yum!
For our third week of cookery, we decided to make some sweet treats for Saint Patrick’s Day!! We made delicious marshmallow rice krispie squares and of course we just had to add something green for the occasion!! We used green sweets and green icing to do this!! The children got to take home the food to show their families and maybe even let them have a taster!
Great cooking today 1st and 2nd Class. Well done!!
For art this week, we experimented with doing some collaborative art, to show that together we can make something wonderful!! I think the boys and girls did amazing work!!
Seachtain na Gaeilge takes place from 1st-17th March 2022 this year! We really made a big effort to use as many of our Irish phrases and vocabulary each day in class. We would like to thank Muireann who we linked up with through ‘Crowdcast’ and enjoyed an interactive bilingual session with, on Wednesday 9th March. We got dancing and learned some new Irish phrases too!! Thank-You to Monaghan County Library for putting us in touch!
Today we had an interactive lesson using Google Teams, with Pauline Tilson, who works for the Monaghan County Museum. We learned lots of very interesting facts about Hope Castle, Castle Leslie and Hillton House, to name a few of our local places of interest. We also had the chance to ask Pauline any questions we had. The boys and girls really came up with some very clever questions for Pauline. Well done!!
For session two of our cookery programme, we made pizzas! We had so much fun preparing these yummy snacks!
We had great fun today, listening to and following instructions in order to make and cook our Perfect Pizzas!! Our favourite part was definitely eating our lovely pizza creations. A big thank you to our teachers who organised this for us!!
Well it has been a busy few weeks in 3rd and 4th class. From Cross making to cooking and lots in between!
We have been bringing our Procedural writing to life by getting stuck into some cooking. So far we have mastered pancakes and pizzas. We can’t wait to find out what’s next.
In Maths we had all the instruments in action as we measured different things around the school. The were estimating, measuring and recording.
St Brigid’s Day was a success as we all learned how to make crosses. This was a lesson for teacher too!
The children are currently all competing a project on a country of their choice – they are using the tablets to research and will be presenting all of the information to their peers when we finish.
Finally we are delighted to see the start of Spring. Just as the daffodils begin to appear, we have started to plant some seeds of our own. We are looking forward to watching our produce grow. The children are taking it in turns to remember to water our seeds and are enjoying seeing the first shoots appear.
Our infants were so excited on Tuesday 1st March 2022 as we begun our six-week cooking/baking block. Week one happened to fall on Pancake Tuesday so we decided to make some yummy pancakes! We learned all about following a recipe, and how to measure the ingredients. Our infants did an amazing job baking, and sampling, their recipe!
