The Junior Assembly had a fantastic speech week last week. The classes did vocal warm ups, learning simple tongue twisters and Shakespearean poems.
Junior Infants performed a poem entitled African Animals, Senior Infants, The Continents song; 1st Class Red performed Winter by William Shakespeare and 1st Class Yellow, Aim high for the sky by James McDonald.
The children spoke beautifully and confidently! Well done everyone!
Last week as 4th class gave 5th class a tour of the National Gallery they all dropped everything to pause. The atrium, a bright open space, provided a perfect still and calm place to incorporate their daily practice of mindfulness.
The girls hockey team has been busy battling it out on the pitch, with a defeat from Rathfarnham parish last week but hopeful for their match against Sancta Maria College.
Best of luck team!
2nd class created amazing habitats using recycled materials. They also created a non-fiction poster on the animal that would live in their habitat. They have been doing lots of research and will be presenting their reports to other classes.
Well done second class!
First Class have been learning about Fruit in SESE.
As part of their Science lesson, they tried various types of fruit and used adjectives they had learned in English to describe the colour, smell and taste of each!
Tasty work 1st Class!
5th Class have been doing lots of work on growth mindset and confidence building.
We could all take some inspiration from this.
Thank you 5th 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!
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!
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!
