Pancake tuesday
We made some delicious pancakes for pancake Tuesday. A big thank you to Ms. Leahy for helping us make them!
Coláiste Mini Open Day
5th Class were delighted to participate in Coláiste an Chraoibhín’s mini open day. The students enjoyed a complimentary snack from the canteen before having the opportunity to trial three different subject areas. Ms. Mc Grath’s class took part in lessons in Geography, Coding, and Engineering. They had a wonderful morning!
Mr. Maher's class tried out Science, German, and Home economics where we made delicious smoothies. It was a great day out for all!
Kindness Jars
The students loved filling one another’s 'Kindness Jars' with heartfelt compliments for Valentine’s Day. Messages such as 'You make me smile every day,' 'You are a really good friend,' and 'You are a great team player' reflected the positivity and appreciation they share with each other.
World War 1 projects
Mr. Maher's class worked really hard on their fantastic WW1 projects over the last few weeks and the class really enjoyed presenting them. Well done everyone!
Assembly - JEP
Congratulations to all of our 5th Class students who recently presented their JEP project at Assembly. They demonstrated fantastic confidence and bravery as they spoke in front of students from 3rd to 6th Class, explaining their creative and innovative idea, ‘Blooming Bookmarks’.The class shared the inspiration behind their product and outlined their plans for production. Over the coming weeks, work will begin on creating their bookmarks, so be sure to keep an eye on our website for updates on when they will be available to purchase.We are very proud of their hard work and teamwork throughout this project. 🔖🌺
Christmas
The children have enjoyed watching News2day during eating time at small break. Inspired by the chance to turn on the Christmas lights in RTE studios in Dublin, most of the children have submitted entries to the Christmas art competition. Art pieces were based on the theme: ‘Christmas is for sharing.’ We posted our entries today.
We learned about decimals and decided to take our learning out into the real world. At Spar, the children drew pictures of a favourite “treat.” Using the product’s price, the children will wrote word problems and tested their friends’ division and multiplication skills. P.S. thanks to those in Spar who gave us a little Christmas treat too
Junior entrepreneur Programme
A huge congratulations to all our 5th Class pupils for their fantastic effort and enthusiasm throughout the first stage of the Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP). As part of JEP, the children worked in teams to develop a business idea and pitch it to our panel of ‘Dragons,’ who selected one winning idea for the whole class to bring to life. The creativity and teamwork shown by every group were outstanding. Our winning idea has been chosen… but we’re keeping it a secret for now! Stay tuned as 5th Class begin the exciting journey of setting up their very own business over the coming weeks. 🚀✨

Science
In Science we studied the idea of air resistance. We brought in different materials from home to test what would make the best parachutes. We found materials like card, tinfoil and bin liners worked well because they were light and strong. We also learned that changing the shape and size of a parachute can slow the descent too because of an increase in air resistance
Bí Cineálta
As part of a whole school programme we can clearly identify what bullying is and how to show kindness and respect to others
Butter late than never!
We had great fun making butter in 5th class. We conducted our experiment by putting double cream into our jars and shaking them for about ten minutes. After shaking, we noticed that a lump of butter had formed. We then spread our homemade butter on some crackers and enjoyed tasting it.
Italy/The Renaissance
As part of our SESE, we have been learning all about Italy and the Renaissance period. We did artwork inspired by the Mona Lisa and St Peter’s Basilica
November in Mr Maher's
We has a really exciting month in Mr. Maher's class in November. We carried out some really cool experiments during science week. We really enjoyed learning about 2D shapes in maths, and were exploring tangrams during November. We learnt loads about Italy during this month and loved showcasing our knowledge with our PowerPoint presentations. Continuing the Italian theme we created some really creative Mona Lisa artwork and designed our own miniature versions of the 'Leaning Tower of Pisa'. We have loved improving our chess skills with Mr. Forde and the rest of 5th class. We have been working really hard at our JEP pitches during November which we will be presenting in December and we are all really looking forward to showcasing all our hard work!

October was a very busy month in Mr. Maher's class. We had great fun designing our Halloween door. We all were super excited to see the victorious Bríde Rovers team visit the school. We carried out some really cool experiments in Science, designing our own helicopters and creating our own spring balance. In Irish we learnt loads about Oíche Shamhna agus An Fómhair and are really enjoying practicing our new vocab. We also had great fun on our litter pick during October where the 5th class pupils collected litter with their buddies in the morning and collected litter on our own in Shanowen in the afternoon. We have really enjoyed trying lots of new games and activities in PE. We really loved playing olympic handball in PE class during October.

SEPTEMBER WAS A BUSY MONTH IN MS. O'CONNOR'S CLASS! THE CHILDREN EXPLORED SIGNS OF AUTUMN ON A NATURE WALK, CREATED WONDERFUL SELF PORTRAITS IN ART AND DESIGNED EYE-CATCHING LOGOS FOR THEIR VERY OWN ORIGINAL FOOD TRUCKS.
Mr. Maher's class had a really busy month as the children created some wonderful art, went on a nature walk, worked really hard at bar charts in maths and practised their new Irish vocab by playing games of 'Guess who'' in Irish.
What a wonderful month it has been in Ms. Mc Grath's class! The students returned to school after the summer break and began the year with several “getting to know you” activities, along with lessons on Growth Mindset. They explored their positive qualities by creating positive affirmation posters in art and enjoyed a nature walk with their classmates to spot signs of autumn. To top it all off, the students had great fun during their gymnastics sessions as they kicked, rocked, and balanced their way into the new school year!
