This week was jam packed with maths activities that the boys loved. Using geoboards to understand multiplication better, ag imirt cluiche cartaí -"Té ag iascaracht" and online maths homework was a great hit. We also fit in a trip to the library, where we chose our own books to read for DEAR time. Reading is so important, and books the boys are interested in are a great resource to have. Love of reading is wonderful to have📚. Click on the photo to see more..
Today 4th Class went to visit the Portumna Workhouse, built after the Famine but during a time of extreme hardship in Ireland. We visited the Workhouse where families were split up into men, women, boys and girls possibly never to see each other again. We saw where the laundry, coal bunkers, the silent eating hall where they were given only picking to eat all were. The people were desperate and had no choice but to go there. Such a sad time in Ireland 😢 We fit in a flying visit to Portumna Castle too and into the Forest Park to identify leaves from various trees. 🍁🌿
