Halloween Disco - We Did the Monster Mash!

We had great fun at the Halloween Disco. See if you can recognise any of our vampires/skeletons/footballers etc!

Minecraft Education Edition and Coding Workshops

In class 4B we have had loads of fun designing and creating using our new Minecraft Education Software. These school based accounts are used in class under the supervision of the teacher. We have been completing activities in conjunction with the RTE online programme "Ireland's Future is Mine". In lesson 1, we created our dream homes. In lesson 2, we designed a vehicle which would travel on Mars. We can't wait to see what the next lesson has in store for us. Children have also been taking part in a weekly coding workshop with a visiting IT expert. They even composed their own music. Keep up the great work guys!

End of Year Montage

Well done to all of the guys and girls in class 3B. You did amazing work this year and we were kind to one another along the way. Have a happy and a safe summer and keep up the good work in 4th Class!!

Open Air Creations

Children were recently afforded the opportunity to get creative in our "Trim Trail" area. The used, dandelions, daisies, tree bark, stones, grass (and anything else that they could get their hands on) to construct their oen pieces of art. Some chose to create figurative pieces (depicting real living things or objects) while others made abstract art (not intended to represent objects or living things).

Outdoor Lessons

In keeping with health and safety quidelines, where possible, we have been conducting lessons outdoors. We get the beneift of fresh air, we get to move more and we get to learn in a variety of ways that might not be possible in the classroom. This has been great fun and it is something that we would love to keep up even when we get back to "normality". Check out some photos from our lesson on length. Children used a variety of instruments to measure and record various distances, using the stadardised metric units that they deemed to be most suitable (mm, cm, m or km).
