History

18 October 2021

We were learning about games and pastimes from long ago. We played some of the games outside and had loads of fun.

September and October in 3rd Class

19 October 2021

Welcome to our class blog. We have had a very busy few weeks since we returned to school. While settling into our new classroom and getting used to our new class, we have had lots of fun. Here is a selection of photos of some of the different thing we have been doing in class. We made some swords inspired by the Fianna and Setanta. We had great fun with playing cards while we were learning about place value. We have also really enjoyed Hurling for PE.

Visit to Oranmore Castle

12 October 2021

The boys in Second class have been learning all about castles and even went on a trip to a Oranmore Castle recently. They explored the Great Hall and had a wonderful time. They created their own castles using recycled materials and wrote all about their visit.

Maths Trail

1st class kicked off Maths Week with a Maths Trail today.

Space Week!

12 October 2021

To celebrate Space week, the boys created wonderful projects and art work. We also learned about the fascinating story of Apollo 13's unsuccessful moon mission. The boys wrote some excellent writing linked to this using figurative language. Super work boys!

Fantastic Mr Fox

12 October 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed reading Fantastic Mr Fox. The boys worked in groups to explore the different characters in the text. Lots of discussion and many debates took place!
