Active Schools Week

14 June 2021

The boys have enjoyed a great start to Active Schools Week. They practiced their spellings out in the yard with chalk.

Scavenger Hunts!

21 May 2021

2nd class were busy doing some scavenger hunts in the past few weeks. The boys raced to find letters under some cones around the yard and worked in teams to make the compound word. Another task was to make as many words as they could by using the letters they found. They also went on a sensory hunt around the school grounds. Lots of teamwork and fun was had!

Our class projects

04 June 2021

For the past few weeks, the boys have been researching a project on a country of their choice with their groups. They have planned, drafted and presented their work with wonderful drawings and facts. Each group learned so much and had fun in the process. Well done boys!

Nicola Pierce An author named Nicola Pierce, visited Ms O' Connell's 6th class on the 19th of March 2021 on a zoom call. It was a very fun experience as the author answered our questions. Some of the boys in 6th class might want to become authors themselves someday. Nicola is very inspiring and told the boys stories. By Caleb & Mark
