Welcome back to school! We started the new school year off by creating a Class Code together. We agreed on a set of class rules to help us to stay safe, learn together and have fun! |

Drama
The class enjoyed Hallowe'en themed drama. In small groups they had to create still images based on different Hallowe'en captions. They were encouraged to use facial expressions and body language. Lots of fun was had!

The Stone Age
3rd Class were fascinated to learn about life in Stone Age Ireland in S.E.S.E. They learned about what they ate and what their beliefs and burial customs were. The class used the Chromebooks to research and record interesting facts about the Stone Age. They created beautiful dolmen sunrise silhouettes in Art!
'Nutrition is Our Mission'
The class took part in two webinars based on the topic of healthy eating. In the first webinar, they explored the colours in their lunch boxes and experienced mindful eating. They learned about trying to 'eat the rainbow' and including as many colours from the rainbow in their lunchbox every day! In the second webinar, the class listened to Irish sports stars talk about why nutrition is so important for sport and keeping fit and healthy.
Space Week 2022
During Space Week, the class learned about Apollo 11 and the first moon landing. They imagined they were news reporters and wrote recounts about this historic event. On the Chromebooks, the class researched and recorded information about various planets. In Art, they made fantastic rocket art to finish off a fun Space themed week!

- They were excited to have a visit from the Lifetime Lab to learn about Energy. In this workshop, the class learned about energy sources, climate change, CO2 and what we can do to reduce the amount of energy we waste. They also enjoyed an interesting energy experiment - did you know you can make a battery out of a lemon? The workshop finished with a fun quiz!
- In groups, the children were challenged to work together to create a strong tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows! They had to work like engineers and put their scientific knowledge into practice and it was wonderful to see problem-solving and team work in abundance!
- As part of their learning on the topic of Nutrition, 3rd Class created Powerpoints with lots of facts about Healthy Eating and the importance of keeping fit.
- Sugar rush! - The children carried out an experiment to show how fast sugar absorbs into our blood. Using maple syrup and red food colouring to represent blood, they added sugar to one cup, and flour to the other to represent carbohydrates. The children observed that the sugar dissolved much faster than the flour.
This month, we remember and pray for those who have died.
Everyone created a flower with some names of special people they wanted to remember who have died. With these flowers we created a garden of remembrance.

In pairs, the class made posters to promote ways to stay safe when using the internet. Well done, 3rd Class!
Advent Is HeRE!
In Religion, we have been learning about Advent and the gift of time. We made beautiful Advent wreaths. We are preparing for Christmas by trying to carry out daily acts of kindness. We are thinking especially about those who are sick or lonely at this time.
"We Wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year!"
Christmas Decorations
Do you like our Christmas decorations? In our Art lessons, we worked with clay and used cutters to create the shape. Then we decorated them with paint!
As an end of term treat, the class enjoyed hot chocolate, cookies and a movie! It was lots of fun and well deserved for all the hard work in 3rd Class this term!
