Seó Faisin, Literacy Circles and Drama in 3rd Class!
It has been a busy week for 3rd class. The class had a lot of fun during their “Seó Faisin” (fashion show) after learning about eadaí. They used persuasive writing in English to tie this in with their drama where they were challenged to show a story in 3 Frozen Images. They also participated in literary circles and worked in roles to finish off the novel James and the Giant Peach.
An Mhaith 3rd Class!
4th Class Use Mote!
Last term, 4th class had the fantastic opportunity to work with Ms O’Donnell on creating an imaginative story that will then be recorded by the children, with loads of expression using a Google Chrome extension called Mote.
The class is very excited to be expanding its technology skills!
3rd Class Young Engineers!
Throwback Tuesday!
Back in November, an engineer came to visit 3rd Class!
The class showcased their own engineering designs for the Steps Young Engineer Award. They worked hard to plan, design and create their ideas and did a super job with their teamwork, creativity and presentation skills. Well done 3rd Class!
3rd Class Carol Singing!
The children in 3rd Class have been working like busy elves to prepare a repertoire of festive favourites to help raise money for the Black Santa Appeal 2022!
They sang beautifully on the front steps of our lovely school.
2nd Class Invent Amazing Toys!
2nd class have invented their own amazing toys!
Each of their toys had very unique features. The class then used fantastic persuasive vocabulary to persuade Miss Murphy to buy their toys! Each child presented their work to the class and were awarded two stars and a wish by their peers.
Wonderful work 2nd Class!
Junior Infants’ Active Break Challenge
Junior Infants have been participating in the ‘Active Break Challenge’ led by Mr Gibney.
It’s a great opportunity for Junior Infants to have a ‘brain break’ to enable them to focus and participate in learning activities.
Students pick from the ‘active brain break box’ which includes plank, stretching, jumping jacks, dancing and brain break chase videos.
The children love this as a transition from one lesson to another and it greatly improves their engagement in lessons.
Thank you to Mr Gibney for leading this initiative!
5th Class Explore The Human Body!
Last week, Fifth Class created Google Jamboards on the parts of the brain after reading ‘Fantastic Elastic Brain’, and later researched other organs in the body. The class recorded and presented their findings with their groups!
6th Class Get Creative!
Following their visit to the Royal Hibernian Academy Gallery, 6th class have been working with two artists for three weeks, making some interesting pieces inspired by the exhibition they saw.
Beautiful work 6th class!
Well-Being Week!
Last week the whole school celebrated Well-being week!
We explored growth mindsets and how we can take care of our well-being as well as that of our friends.
The students practiced some new ways to be mindful and took notice of what they are grateful for.
We made this beautiful Gratitude Tree as a whole school and all the students really enjoyed creating it together!
