Grandparents Day 2023
We interviewed our grandparents from around the world (India, UK and USA) and the four corners of Ireland for this special occasion.  We compared our favourite things from past and present to find out what is different from our grandparents time and what if anything is the same!  The results from our interviews will be announced in our upcoming school podcast!
We also made cards for Grandparents Day.  Check them out below! 😊

Christmas Activities
Christmas Baking
We baked biscuits for Christmas - they were a mixture of plain and cinnamon flavoured.  Many of us are now converted cinnamon fans!  They were so delicious that many did not survive until home time!  Take a look at us baking up a storm below.  The quick and easy recipe is also below to try at home!

Buddy Activities this month
Christmas preparations are well underway with our buddies in Ms. Murphy's class.  We made and painted clay Christmas tree decorations.  It was all hands on deck, including Sheila. 😁

PE - Skill Development
We have been developing our hopping, jumping, balancing and throwing skills in PE.  We designed our own obstacle courses to put our new skills to the test.  We also had to complete balancing challenges using different poses - squat, plank and balance on one foot. ​

Science Week 2022
We had a very busy Science Week!!!  We participated in the Designer Minds "Introduction to Computer Science Workshop" sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.  The students were thrilled with the workshop delivered by Michael at Designer Minds and proved they were very capable by designing, creating and coding an interactive game in their very first session!  We are looking forward to continuing our work on Scratch this year and have even set up our own accounts and online class already so we can share our designs and learn from each other.

Our Science Week Home Projects
For Science Week we set ourselves the task of designing and making a flying object.  We thoroughly enjoyed this task - it was frustrating and fun in equal measure! 😁 

We had to assess ourselves using the following criteria:
1. Is my design streamlined?
2. Did I test my design (considering distance, speed and height)?
3. Does it fly? 
4. Did I change or alter my original design?

Take a look at our designs below...
We also flew a rocket! And.....
Hannah taught the class all about how batteries work and did a demo of how to make one! 
Take a look at our videos below!

Getting muddy in the School Garden! 😁
After the recent spell of wet weather, we finally found a dry day to tend to the school garden.  We harvested kale, cabbage and parsnips and brought them home.  We used them in a variety of ways - we made soup, had salads and we have some well fed pets also.  We are also bringing the classroom indoors and are drying out sunflower seeds to plant next year, as well as poppy stems for decoration.  
We are looking forward to a fun year ahead learning and working in the school garden.

SESE -  The Globe Clean Air Quality Survey 
We participated in the Globe Clean Air quality survey to measure pollution levels in the air around our school.  We had to place the test tubes in three different locations on our school grounds and provide samples for analysis.  The tubes were in place for four weeks and we took them down on October 26th.  We are looking forward to receiving feedback on our experiment.  We completed a presentation on our work over the last month below. 
Buddy Reading
We met up with our buddies in Ms. Murphy's Junior Infants and had a lovely time reading stories to them.
Our Autumn Walk
We went on an autumn walk and collected leaves and objects of interest to us.  We identified the names, leaves and fruits of five common trees on our walk.  We made trays from clay using imprints from leaves we collected.  Check out our beautiful autumn leave trays below.
Gaeilge
Ghlacamar páirt sa Fhéile na Gaeilge le rang 5 agus rang 6.  Bhaineamar an-sult as!  Bhíomar ag caint ar an dtéama "Mé Féin" agus d'imríomar cluichí cosúil le Biongó freisin.
We took part in Féile Gaeilge with 5th and 6th classes.  We really enjoyed it.  We spoke about the topic "Myself" and we played games such as Bingo also.

Scríobhamar scéalta leis an teideal "An Ollphéist ar Scoil" le haghaigh Oíche Shamhna.  Bhí siad greannmhar ar fad, mar shampla d'ith ollphéist amháin an mhúinteoir!
We wrote stories with the title "The Monster at School" for Halloween.  They were very funny, one monster even ate the teacher!
