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 2022 Rang a haon agus Rang a dó!!
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!
Big Houses of Monaghan
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!!
Cookery in the Infant Room
For session two of our cookery programme, we made pizzas! We had so much fun preparing these yummy snacks!
‘Pizza Perfect’
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!!
What have 3rd and 4th Class been up to?
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.
Pancake Tuesday in the Infant Room
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!
Winter Art in the Infant Classroom
Our infants have been working hard this January learning all about Winter. Have a look at some of the art projects we completed as part of our learning!
St. Brigid’s Day
Our wonderful infants learned all about St. Brigid on 1st February 2022. We then made these beautiful St. Brigid’s cloaks using fabric.
Magnetism in 5th and 6th Class
We were all delighted to get back to school after Christmas and to begin working together again. January has been a busy month so far where the pupils have researched and compiled projects on Greece. They have learned about the landscapes of some famous artists such as Monet from which their own unique Winter Landscapes emerged.
Our Accelerated Reader Programme is going from strength to strength with some pupils already achieving certificates and prizes. Keep up the fantastic reading everyone!
A lot of fun and learning took place in Science where we investigated Magnetism in depth which required the pupils to investigate making their own magnets together with designing their own magnet powered car. Take a look at the photos and click on the videos below to see their impressive results!
