Happy Easter 6th Class
I hope everyone in 6th Class and their families have an enjoyable Easter holiday. We've worked extremely hard this term and deserve the break.
We were so lucky to have made our Confirmation before the school closures! That was definitely the standout memory from this term, along with World Book Day, Engineers' Week, Seachtain na Gaeilge, Grandparents' Day and Friendship Week. We will have more occasions to look forward to as a class soon!
In the meantime, enjoy the rest. Keep sending me photographs and videos to yvonneomarascoilmhuire@gmail.com. I enjoy seeing what everyone has been getting up to.
Stay safe and eat lots of chocolate, I know I will!
Thanks to all of you in 6th and your parents for your cooperation with the work over the last few weeks and the many e-mails keeping in touch.
I look forward to seeing everyone in the near future.

Some skilled toilet roll challenges! ... Have we any more challenges completed at home to compete with these?

A great science experiment. If you have completed any experiments at home, share the results with us. |
Did anyone else try the Egg Drop Challenge?

Can anybody guess who's reading The Jabberwocky? An excellent performance!
6th Class, I have missed you all!
I hope everyone is keeping well and staying safe! I have been talking to about half of you and have been thoroughly enjoying the daily updates. I'm delighted to see such skilled work coming in from home! Keep the pictures or videos coming in and I'll share them on the page. I would love to receive some more updates, especially from the few I haven't heard from.
Keep sending in your class work also so I can have a look ... typed or pictures of the copies.
Don't worry, I won't give out if you haven't completed all your work! (A change I know!)
I've been keeping busy, going for lots of walk, working on the computer and painting! I'll add some pictures below. (And yes my Easter bunny does look a bit cross!)
I've set out the work for next week underneath and I will add a few more additional activities also.
If anyone needs help with anything, don't be afraid to ask.
Looking forward to hearing from you all and seeing everyone again before we know it!
We'll end the school year on a high yet!

Work March 30th-April 3rd
Please find work below for next week, March 30th - April 3rd. The work is organised in daily format this week, but if you would prefer to do all your English one day, etc. like I know some people have been doing, that's also fine.
Do what you can at home. We are going to keep working through our books so that hopefully then we can have an enjoyable May / June in school, knowing that we've completed or nearly completed our textbooks!

Engineer's Week
We celebrated 'Engineer's Week' this week. Earlier in the week we made robotic hands which could lift a plastic cup. In our second challenge we were required to construct a circle using Pringles. Half the fun was in eating our creations afterwards!
World Book Day
Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Alex Rider, Mary Poppins, SpongeBob, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and more, influenced our choices today.
Ficheall Chess Tournament
Well done to our 8 representatives who competed in the Ficheall Chess Tournament in Clane this week. They each played six matches against competitors from various other schools. We currently await the results of the competition.
Confirmation Photograph Day
We had a very enjoyable day of little work and lots of posing for pictures and visiting classes in our finery!
Congratulations Confirmation Candidates
Huge congratulations to all those who received the Sacrament of Confirmation today, the 27th of February. All involved were exceptional and the day was most enjoyable. Their preparation and dedication over the last few weeks was appreciated and made the day run so smoothly.
Thank you to Ella Doran for all her help during our preparation, to Episcopal Vicar Thornton for confirming us all and to Fr. Karl and Fr. Gregory and all in the parish for their support. Of course, the continued support of all the parents and sponsors means so much to all the candidates.

Friendship Week with 2nd Class
Dear... poetry
We were inspired by Kobe Bryant's Oscar winning short film,'Dear Basketball'. We wrote our own heart felt letters in response. (More to follow ...)
Thank you to all the grandparents who visited us today for 'Grandparent's Day'

Visitors from St. Mary's GAA and Coláiste Chiaráin
4th, 5th & 6th class students received a visit from some current Coláiste Chiaráin students who've had a very successful sporting year. Hopefully some of our students will follow in their footsteps in the future.
Kaleidoscopes
We studied 'light' in science and made kaleidoscopes. We used a mirrored sheet, a straw, a toilet roll tube and some card to make the kaleidoscopes in pairs. See some of the results below.

Girls Under 11 Final
Well done to the Under 11 girls football team for reaching the final of the after school league. They narrowly missed out on the trophy to Scoil Eoin Phóil. A great effort was put in by all involved.
Scoil Uí Dhálaigh Running Event
Water Filtration Experiment in Science
Chess Jamboree
Thanks to Ms. O'Donnell & Ms. Doyle for organising today's chess jamboree. Many of our class attend lunchtime chess on Fridays. Only 10 representatives could take part in the jamboree, the standard was very high. We played 5 games of 12 minutes against students from Scoil Uí Dhálaigh and Scoil Bhríde. We finished the tournament in 1st place with a total of 129 points. We were awarded a new plaque to recognise our win. This plaque will be used annually for the 'Comórtas Fichelle, Léim an Bhradáin'. We look forward to further tournaments later in the year.

Enjoy the well deserved break 6th Class!

Soccer Blitz in The Amenities
Thanks to Paul from Leixlip United for organising a fantastic blitz today in The Amenities. Representatives from 5th & 6th classes demonstrated such skill, that we were the only school to have two teams in the semi-finals. Unfortunately, we were paired against each other at this point and Scoil Mhuire Rovers bowed out, but Scoil Mhuire United made it to the final. After an extremely tense match and extra time, the result was still nil-nil. Well done to the Scoil Eoin Phóil team who won on penalties. A fantastic day was had and the children represented Scoil Mhuire exceptionally. Scoil Mhuire United received their medals on their return to school.
Maths Week
6th Class greatly enjoyed Maths Week!
On Tuesday, Tara, Kate & Oisín correctly estimated the perimeter of the school yard. 1610m if Ms. O'Mara remembers correctly!
Paddy threw the javelin the furthest distance - 16m, on Wednesday.
Thursday saw Sara solving the tangram in 1 minute 57.23 seconds. The fastest time in the school!
Thanks to Ms. Dowling for providing us with prizes for all our achievements.
On Friday we worked in teams to collaboratively solve Izak 9's puzzles.

Student Council Elections
Today, the 18th of September marked Student Council Election Day in Scoil Mhuire. Four 6th Class students were appointed as Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary & Treasurer as recently as Monday. They went through the process of sending in written applications and were then interviewed by two teachers. It was a real challenge to narrow down the competition to just four, as all of the 12 were exceptional candidates.
Following their appointments, we were ready to decide on our class representatives. Classes 3rd to 6th made their way to our room to vote in a secret ballot. 6th Class tallied all the votes using the quota system and were exceptional polling station attendants all day.

September in 6th Class
We've made a great start to the year in 6th Class. We're finding our feet as leaders of the school and taking on more responsibility daily. 'Tús maith, leath na oibre' as our seanfhocail says for this month ... a good start is half the battle!
