Recently, we have been learning about the process of pollination in our science lessons. In order to gain a full understanding of how flowers reproduce, we dissected some lilies to identify the different parts of a flower. The boys then gave a full scientific explanation of pollination. Great work boys!
Fifth class have been studying the work of the famous artist Vincent van Gogh. We were fascinated to learn that he only ever sold one of his paintings during his lifetime. The boys recreated two of his pieces of work: 'Avenue of Poplars' and 'Still life with apples'. Super work boys. Well done!
Second class boys went on a materials hunt in our school grounds. They explored the school grounds in search of a variety of items, including leaves, twigs, flowers, soil, rocks and stones. They used their senses to record the properties of each object. Lots of teamwork, fun and learning was had!

The boys had great fun learning about Penny Farthing bicycles from long ago and how they were different to modern bicycles.
We sang Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Gaeilge and Spanish today. Many of us know words in other European languages too and shared them with the class.
