Last Buddy Activity of the Year
5th class & Ms.Doran's 1st class had a great time doing fun activities outside together. They also enjoyed some icepops in the lovely warm weather.
Our School Tour
We had a brilliant time on our school tour. We enjoyed the guided tour of Farmleigh Estate and we had a great time at the aquatics centre.
Arts Education
We really enjoying making streetscapes with fabric & fibre.
We also loved acting out scenes from the novel 'Wonder' during Drama time!
Sports Day!
We had a great day in the sunshine!
Chess Record
How many chess players can play at the same time? To celebrate Ireland hosting the European Schools Chess Championship for the first time, Ficheall (Primary Teachers promoting chess) wants to celebrate the huge number of Irish primary schools promoting chess for social and cognitive skills. They are attempting to set a record for the most chess players playing at the one time. We set up some teams and enjoyed playing each other in this skillful game at 10am on Thursday May 30th. Checkmate!
Intercultural Day
5th class had the country of Mexico for Intercultural Day. We sang La Bamba in the hall and researched aspects of life and culture in Mexico. We met up with our buddy class, Ms. Doran's 1st, in the afternoon to play some games and find out about their Intercultural Day!
Exploding Volcanoes!
We have been learning about volcanoes in English and Science. We went outside and used bicarbonate of soda (alkali) and vinegar (acid) to make our own volcanoes! Red food dye made our mixture look like lava!
