Hello everybody! We have had a super busy and fun-filled few months. Keep scrolling to have a look at all of the activities and lessons that we have been up to!
New Year Goals!
Happy New Year everybody! We loved chatting about the new year and coming up with new goals for 2023. We used our chromebooks to create Jamboard presentations of our goals.
Birds!
We have been learning about trees and birds in our SESE lessons and after looking at some nests and pictures of birds we were inspired to do some art. We drew some realistic robins and shaded them using colouring pencils. We also painted some wonderful bird silhouettes at sunrise.
Maths!
We've done loads of maths! Check out some highlights below.
The Stone Age!
We loved learning about the Stone Age! We worked together on projects and created some amazing Cave Art by staining paper and using pastels underneath our table caves!
The Winter Concert!
We were so proud of ourselves during our Winter Concert. We worked hard for weeks preparing a song, poem and play as well as some props. It was a great performance!
GAA Coaching!
We are so lucky to have a GAA coach visit our school every Friday and take us for GAA lessons. We are learning skills for Gaelic football, hurling and camogie. It is great fun.
Science Investigations!
We learned about sound and vibrations. We made our own drum to observe sound vibrations in action.
Buddy Reading!
We have been working with Laura's Senior Infant class and love it! We each have a buddy who we visit and read to. It is great fun and is a chance for us to show off our great reading skills.
Biodiversity and Green Schools!
We have been learning all about biodiversity. Judith from Biodiversity Ireland came to visit us and talked to us about biodiversity and how we can help look after our school and planet. She brought us outside and showed us some biodiversity in our school garden. After that, we were inspired to help out with our Green School ambitions and went outside to do some litter picking.
Halloween!
We enjoyed learning about the festival of Halloween during history and learn together. We learned about the origins of Halloween and how it is similar to other festivals. We were inspired to do some art as well!
