| 5th Class have had a very busy term! 5th Class created individual France projects and presented them to the class. Some students opted for powerpoints while others chose a booklet format. The students presented their project to the class. Students enjoyed a French Food tasting afternoon as a reward for their wonderful work! 5th Class were invited to Ericssons to learn about software engineering and the work of Ericsson.This site visit provided 5th Class with an opportunity to learn how to code. There was great excitement when the students coded a rock, paper, scissors game as well as an electric guitar! Students were busy learning about the laws of gravity and were given the task of designing & creating a parachute for an egg! March saw the reopening of our school library. This brought great excitement on World Book Day! 5th Class dressed up as their favourite book characters and they engaged in lots of fun literacy activities to celebrate the day. Seachtain na Gaeilge also took place in March. Students enjoyed a Seanfhocail competition, Seó Faisin, Toy Story 1.5 – dramaíocht and a Tráth na gCeist. Lá Glas was celebrated on the final day to mark the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge. Students performed The Walls of Limerick, The Dreoilín and The Haka which they learnt throughout the week. |
| What a busy and eventful term 1 it has been! After a lot of preparation and practice , 5th class performed their Christmas play “Straw and Order” to a packed hall of parents and family members on Wednesday December 18th. They were terrific and deserve great credit for their efforts and enthusiasm. We enjoyed using watercolours to create “Christmas Cars” and we used our fine motor skills to make mini wool hats during art. We had a few sessions of tag rugby on Wednesday mornings with the Buccaneeers when the weather permitted and also did some folk and Irish dance during this term. Both fifth classes paired up with the senior infants to create a campfire reading experience using an array of soft furnishings, candles and fairy lights. It was magical for the younger children. Fifth class pupils did a great job both reading and interacting with them! We wrote narrative stories too during December. Most opted for a Christmas theme and were quite intriguing! The Wellbeing Committee made sure we were fully entertained with music and Irish quizzes done through the medium of Zoom. We also participated in a fun online Maths Quiz. We are looking forward to another jam-packed term! |
On Wednesday February 12th , we celebrated Grandparents Day. Firstly. we held a short prayer service in our classrooms followed by some poetry, music & dance. Afterwards, we all enjoyed a cup of tea with some home baked goodies in the hall. We loved chatting our grandparents and showing them our fabulous school and friends!
