Here is some of our Christmas art and a special visitor to our classroom.

We made these pictures when we were studying one point perspective. In December, Dominic, our Junior Achievement volunteer came in to deliver the Our Nation Programme. This programme studies business operations, resources and economic issues in Ireland. Over the course of a few weeks we got to role-play business ownership, produce pens using different methods of production, look at the costs associated with running a business, create product advertisements, and take charge of their own businesses to make a profit! During Science Week we did loads of fun activities. We had many guest speakers in to talk to us, did fun experiments and projects on Women in Science. These photos show us trying to complete the challenge of trying to make bridges from pasta and marshmallows. It was lots of fun! We do lots of independent research and project work. Here are some of the results....  We have been having a great fun at break time this week creating this magical fairy playground. It's got stepping stones, fitness equipment an underground tunnel and even a very special zipline for all the fairies to enjoy. We hope they have as much fun playing here as we did making it.   In 4th Class we have been studying Irish myths and legends, in particular The Children of Lir. Here are our illustrated versions of the story.
And some pictures we made of the children during their 900 years as swans
School reopens on 30th August. Check back here soon to see what we've been up to.  |
