Before the Easter break, 6th Class visited Matthew Wilkinson’s Art gallery in the city centre. The class enjoyed hearing about the paintings and about how a commercial gallery operates.
They then visited the Garden of Remembrance to see the statue of The Children of Lir.
A wonderful day out and thoroughly enjoyed by all!
Last week, 4th Class embarked on an exciting journey through the world of music as preparation for Music Week!
The class engaged in a captivating project that focused on five distinct music genres: jazz, classical, rock, hip-hop, and folk.
Through collaborative research, the children explored the historical and cultural significance of each genre, uncovering how these musical styles have evolved and shaped societies.
They also delved into the unique musical qualities that define each genre, including rhythm, melody, and instrumentation.
We can’t wait to see what you bring to Music Week 4th Class!
Junior Infants planted some lettuce seeds before Easter. The class made sure the flower bed was weed free and gave the seeds plenty of water.
We are all looking forward to eating the gorgeous lettuce in the summer term!
Thank you Junior Infants!
As part of the An Post initiative, our students participated in a heartfelt activity where they wrote letters to their future selves.
Each child reflected on their current experiences, offering advice and sharing hopes for the future.
They posed thoughtful questions, wondering about their dreams, challenges, and personal growth.
This engaging exercise encouraged self-reflection and allowed students to express their aspirations, creating a meaningful keepsake to revisit in a year to come.
We can’t wait to see how their thought process has evolved over the year!
3rd Class had a busy week last week. The class took inspiration from the beautiful blossom tree in our yard to create their very own blossom trees in art.
They really enjoyed spotting them in the local area and on the way to the Secret Garden too! They also spent time planting sunflowers!
Last week, 5th Class had a fantastic time hosting students from Catalan, Spain for a cultural exchange.
The children shared the enchanting Irish tale of Tir na nÓg, sang beautiful Irish songs, and even taught some Irish phrases!
After lunch together, everyone headed to Herbert Park for an afternoon of fun sports.
Well done to the Green School Committee for working so hard all year in promoting sustainable travel! Together they created a presentation and presented it to the Green School Committee officer last week. She was extremely impressed by all the effort they put in. We look forward to seeing what you have planned for the rest of the year! Wonderful work!
Last Friday we had our annual Lá Glas, we all dressed up in Green and each class presented a poem or a song as Gaelige during our assembly.
