Blast Off!!!!

Creating Our Own Storybooks for Junior Infants

Mrs Murray's class were very busy composing, editing and illustrating their own children's book for Junior Infants. We began by studying the content of our favourite infant books and began composing our own stories. We thoroughly enjoyed reading the finished products to Mrs Curtin's Junior Infants today.  

A Falabella miniature horse visits our school!

The Falabella miniature horse is one of the smallest breeds of horse in the world,seldom taller than 8 hands (32 inches,81cm) in height.The Falabella ,despite its size ,is not a pony ,but rather is a miniature horse!

Young Calves came to the school .

Young calves arrived at school today .Pupils from all classes younger & older got an opportunity to go up close to these farm animals & even feed them some calf nuts.Pupils learnt that these two beauties are identical twins & that their mother carried them for nine months.

Pictured above are some 5th & 3rd class pupils ,enjoying our special guests & ensuring that they wont frighten them away!

 A Sound Science Workshop by Ms. Dineen's Fifth Class Budding Young Scientists!

Fifth class pupils did some creative & wonderful experiments based on how sound  works in our world. They discovered through investigation & their experiments that sound travels through vibration,that it travels better through solids than air & that it travels under water.They created music through their own homemade instruments,using cardboard,elastic bands, straws,glass jars & water. They also made their own telephones & listened to an entire orchestra using string & an oven rack! Pupils enjoyed learning about sound in a fun way!

World Book Day

To celebrate World Book Day, Mrs. Murray's 5th class students visited Mrs. Curtin's Junior Infants and  they all read storybooks together. It was very enjoyable. Some of the 5th class remember when they were in Senior Infants with Mrs. Curtin and 6th class students came and read to them. ​

Miss McAuliffe's Fifth Class Artists bringing Spring to the classroom!!!

Spring is in the air in Miss Mc Auliffe's classroom. We've been hard at work bringing nature into the classroom. First we painted a tree trunk and branches and then we decorated it with brightly coloured flowers. We recycled plastic bottles and used the bottom half for printing flowers. ( Nina, Tadhg and Tim)

Healthy Eating and Cooking in Miss McAuliffe's fifth class
​

Miss McAuliffe's fifth class are focusing on healthy eating at the moment so we decided to give our culinary skills a try! We made delicious healthy pitta pizzas using wholemeal pittas, passata, cheese, ham, pineapple and herbs. There were scrumptious smells coming from the school kitchen! (Nina, Tadhg and Tim)

Internet Safety

During Internet Safety week in school, we learnt a lot about safe internet practice.

Fifth class pupils are currently researching the causes and effects of the 1916 Easter Rising. These young historians have engaged with primary sources such as newspapers, photographs and eye witness accounts and are now ready to present their findings.

SKIP N ROPE  WORKSHOP 2015 

Ms. Dineen's fifth class pupils had a busy day out and about in the school playground on a 'MATHS TRAIL',on Monday 12th Oct.2015, during Maths Week, where they had fun exploring and discovering how many of the mathematical concepts taught  in the classroom can be used outdoors and in practical everyday activities.Some of their tasks involved estimating ,measuring, finding perimeter & area of shapes,learning about direction , 2-D /3-D shapes, chance & probability, vertical ,horizontal & diagonal lines,symmetry, reading the weather vane, & doing a small survey on traffic passing by  using a tally & displaying data collected on a bar graph. A sunny day made these outdoor activities all the more enjoyable.
