  In my class, we have been doing lots of fun things. For example, in art we have been learning about Shepard Fairey and Banksy. They are both very good and talented artists and both unique in their own ways. We have also been reading a new book called The Thief of Always. It is a fantastic book and I would really recommend it. We have been doing quite a few poems as well like Subh Milis, The Girl with many Eyes and the most recent one, The Staring girl. That's all that my class have been doing for now. Until next time, Chloe from Mr. Curtin’s Class.

  We loved getting a chance to use the Lego Spike kits. We spend the first day building vehicles and exploring how the motors, batteries and sensors work. Check out some of our creations! Next we decided to build Fairground attractions. We loved this activity. Check out our video! This week we also started back swimming in the Aquatic Centre. It was great fun!

  Hi everyone, This month we have been very busy preparing for our swimming 🤿 , every Tuesday for six weeks we will be going to the aquatic centre to learn how to swim 🌊 . We have also been learning lots about the 1916 Easter Rising 💣💥 . We have all been learning about a different person from the Rising. Each of us has drawn a picture of our Easter Rising person. Some of us even presented our artwork and some facts out to the class! We have also been planting different plants such as… French beans, cress, salad and a few others 🌻 🪴 We are starting a new Novel named 'When the Sky Falls' 📖📚 . We are also doing GAA training on Thursdays 🥅 . We also did a very fun Lego SPIKE experiment! That's all for today. Talk again next month!

 It’s been a few busy weeks in our 6 th  Class.   On March 2 nd , we had our Confirmation. Father Tim was really lovely and a great day was had by all.   Last Thursday, we went on a school outing to Glasnevin Cemetery and The Botanic Gardens. We learnt lots of facts about Daniel O’ Connell, Michael Collins and Charles Parnell. It was interesting to see their graves – especially the grave of Daniel O Connell underneath the large tower!   We are currently decorating Shamrocks made for us by Mr. Curtin’s Dad. We’re not sure how much green paint we will have left once we finish them all!  😊

  January 2024 blog for Ms. Oakes' class. This month in Ms. Oakes' class we started writing formal letters (based on January's “letter writing genre”) to people we admire such as sports players from Irish and English teams, as well as singers and authors and other famous/ semi-famous people. Last year, in December, we read the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas novel so this month we watched the movie. Bit different than the book, but it is still overall good though. In art, we have focused on the Chinese New Year by making fortune tellers and Chinese cats. We also did presentations of polish projects where we were split into groups and given categories for researching. We have begun preparing for our confirmation as well by learning about the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit with the story of the Pentecost and the Beatitudes. Soon we will be able to go to the book fair and pick out some amazing books too! That is all! -Jamie.

  During this last month, we have been doing a lot of fun work. We have been learning about China and the Chinese New Year tradition. Natas bought Mr. Curtin a Lego Chinese calendar and we built it for his desk. Check it out in the photo! (Photo 1)   We have started reading a new novel called ‘The Thief of Always’ by Clive Barker. It was written in 1983 and is the same age as Mr. Curtin! It has been turned into a Graphic Novel also, so we are comparing both versions. We made covers of the book from different countries around the world. Here is a picture of the Chinese novel cover. (Photo 2)   It is Book Fair time in school and we are enjoying looking at all of the fantastic books! (Photo 3)   That’s all for now! Paighton 😊      

  Its almost Christmas time here in Ms. Oakes' class! This Christmas we have been learning about the Second World War, from art to reading. In fact, we have completely read the novel “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas”. If you walk by our classroom, be sure to look at all of our amazing art! We did some on the children’s podcast “Six Minutes”, made special 'What I look for in Friends' art and our Maths Eyes posters with the theme “Gaming”! Anna in our class has a very special talent, she can play the piano off of sound! All she needs is to listen to a song a couple of times and she replicates it all without music sheets! Awesome!! Finally, we are sending cards down to 4th class for Christmas. But it isn’t quite Christmas yet. Unfortunately, we still have to wait for the 25th of December before we get any presents. Merry Christmas! - Jamie

  Hello everyone! This month we have been very busy on the countdown to Christmas 🎄 ! We have been doing projects on Poland. We have also been very busy making movies in Irish 🎬 . We are doing some Christmas Art in class 🎨 and working very hard on our Christmas carol service 🎶 .  Today is Christmas Jumper Day! To get ready for the New Year we have been decorating new 2024 calendars 🗓️ . We also did landscape art inspired by Ton Schulten, a Dutch artist. We had a Science Fair earlier on in the month. 🧪 That’s it from Ms. Supple’s class this month. Have a Merry Christmas!

  This month we have been doing projects on Poland in Geography .   We focused on topics such as Polish food, Polish UNESCO sites, etc. It was a lot of fun. The project below was completed by Jessica and Sam. Also this month we have started a new novel, ‘When The Sky Falls’. The book is about WWII and the London Blitz.Joseph has been sent to live with a gruff woman with no fondness for children called Mrs F. She lives in Yorkshire and Joseph finds life very difficult with her.This book is based on a true story. I found this book interesting because we recently learned about WWII and about what happened during WWII. We have started a class raffle for children who are working hard. Roughly every two days we pull out a ticket and who ever wins gets a prize. Last Friday the winners got a cup of hot chocolate. On Monday we put up our beautiful Christmas tree. Almost all of our Christmas decorations are up. The class looks very festive! That is this months blog, see you...
