Winter in 1st and 2nd Class
We have been busy in our classroom learning about different winter birds. We looked at bird names, the life-cycle of a bird, the parts of a bird and their functions. We also watched a nature show, learning about the habits of birds. The pupils were also given a practical task to design and make their own bird feeders, using recyclable materials. We created some lovely winter pictures, using printing with paint.
Have a peek below at some of the bird feeders we made!

Christmas in 5th & 6th Class
The lead into Christmas this year was a busy one and thankfully we started early! Here are a few snippets of what I can only describe as a breathtaking show. I was so proud of all my budding actors and actresses so well done everyone and I hope you all enjoy the DVD of ‘Not Such A Silent Night’ among family and friends over the Christmas holiday period. Our Christmas candle jars also provided a wonderful backdrop to our show.
Last but by no means least were the Christmas Shape Poems that the pupils designed, masterpieces in their own right! Well done to the boys and girls in the senior classes for your attention, diligence and hard-work this term. Now lots of chocolate has been well earned over the Christmas break! Merry Christmas everyone and I look forward to seeing you all safe and well in the new year.
Smoking Poster Competition
For SPHE we learned a lot about Smoking and Alcohol. We had a poster competition where the challenge was to design a poster and/or box of cigarettes with the sole purpose of deterring others from Smoking. The results were simply wonderful and there is no doubt that everyone was a winner with this one!
Lego We Do
In SESE over recent weeks, 5th & 6th class embarked on the Lego We Do challenge and wow were the results superb! Watch this space for the future engineers of Donaghmoyne!!
World War 2
Lots of amazing work has been going on in the senior classroom as the pupils worked co-operatively in their pods to plan, research, display and present outstanding projects on World War 2. Well done everyone!
