Teddy Bear Picnic

The girls and boys in Junior Infants and 3rd Class have worked so hard all year long so we decided to go on a Teddy Bear's Picnic. 3rd class were delighted to buddy up again with their Junior Infant from Friendship Week. We listened to songs and 3rd class read story books aloud for us all.

3rd Class School Tour

3rd and 4th Class had their School Tour on Wednesday. We visited Croke Park and Ashford Castle Visitor Centre.  Even with the rain we had a fantastic trip!

We spent the afternoon at an African Drumming Workshop. We had lots of fun playing different rhythms. 

Science

Mrs. Daly came in to help us with our Sow and Grow Activity Set. We planted Baby Carrots, Green Beans, Cress Seeds and Runner Beans. We cannot wait until they start growing!

Art for Mother's Day 

We spent three weeks making our clay tiles for our mums. The first week we had to create our tiles using the clay. We used the cross-hatch technique to join our clay flower pieces together. The following week we chose bright colours to paint the titles. Finally, we made our clay tiles shiny by covering them in glue.

Student Council

​On Wednesday the 12th of October, 3rd class had to vote for their Student Council Class Representatives.  All of the nominees spoke on Tuesday in front of the class and each of them did a fantastic job - well done!  On Wednesday we went up to the Polling Station which was in Ms O'Mara's classroom. There we had to get our Ballot Sheet and cast our votes! The 6th class boys and girls helped us at each of the Polling Stations. Best of luck to all of the members of the Student Council!

Lines and Angles 

We have been learning about different types of lines and angles.  We used lollipop sticks to search for "Right Angles" in the classroom.  Then we created our own "lines and angles" posters. 

Papercopters in Science 

We really enjoyed ourselves this week during Science. We were experimenting with Papercopters.
  • First we had to construct our Papercopters (which were a little bit tricky!).
  • Then we predicted which way the Papercopters would spin:
                     A. =  Clockwise
                     B. = Anti-clockwise
  • Results: The Papercopters spun both clockwise and anticlockwise. However, we discovered that in order to change the direction in which the Papercopter spun you had to change the direction of its wings.

Hurling

3rd Class are having a great time learning how to play hurling. We are getting lots of exercise every week. Some of the boys and girls even joined the local team!

Recorders!

3rd Class have been working very hard every Tuesday learning the recorder!  So far we have learned to play the notes B , A , G. We can now play the song "Mary had a little lamb".

Fun in the Garden!

We had fantastic fun in the garden on Wednesday.  Mrs. Daly brought fresh kale to school for the boys and girls to plant.

  • First we had to remove the stones and loosen the soil in the planting bed.
  • Next we had to dig a small hole and fill it with some compost and water before adding the Curly Kale.
  • Finally we covered the Curly Kale with soil.
