This week we were chatting about rules, responsibilities and consequences. In groups we had to agree on three rules for various headings.

Our RSE lesson today was very appropriate. We were talking about families on Grandparents Day! In groups we found similarities and differences (this was hard) between families. We also said one thing we liked about our family.

Today we were experimenting with light. We used torches to investigate various materials. Were they transparent, translucent or opaque? We also had glass prisms. We made the spectrum by shining the light through them.

We are working with fibres in visual arts at the moment. Each person has a loom and we are weaving on it. It is very enjoyable. A big thank you to Ms Healy who helped us when we were beginning to weave.

Today in RSE we were chatting about bullying behaviour. It is very important to: Say stop Get away Tell Keep telling It is also very important to tell if we see someone being treated badly. We worked in groups chatting about case studies.

We really enjoyed performing our musical last night. What wonderful performances after all our hard work!

Santa visited our classroom today. We had great fun with our Christmas annual. We also got some sweets 😋

We watched Raahat, an author and illustrator, create a winter scene. She made it seem quite easy. Our cards turned out well too.

Today we worked in groups of three. There were Christmas themed problems. Each group had a mix of 3rd & 4th. We worked hard together and enjoyed solving them.

Look at our beautiful winter display. We used pastels to create a background.

We received our pennant today for all of the wonderful farm safety work that our school has engaged with this term. We have received the first one for Animal Safety and Wellbeing from AgriKids. We hope to earn more pennants in the future towards eventually earning an overall Farm Safety Flag for our school. Well done to everyone for all of their dedication to farm safety in our school community! Keep up the great work! 👏 🐑 🐄

Today we met a scientist who speaks to people about health. He reminded us about keeping ourselves healthy. Hygiene is very important. We also protect our classmates and the community when we are careful.

On a very chilly day we were kept warm with plenty of running! We had to listen very carefully to coach's instructions .

Today 3rd & 4th classes were learning about the different ways energy is produced. More renewable resources are used now - solar panels, wind energy and hydro-electricity. We will be trying to remember to always turn lights off when we leave our classroom.

On Thursday we wrote and drew pictures about our favourite numbers. On Friday we completed a puzzle!

The origami jerseys were less challenging Look at the variety of designs 😍

Michel is a lecturer in Galway.  There are three groups of venomous snakes. Vipers have very long fangs that can move! Elopids have shorter fangs that don't move but they are very sharp with very strong poison.  The colubrids have fangs farther back in their mouth so they have to chew their prey. Luckily we don't have venomous snakes in Ireland! 🐍 🐍

This morning we worked in pairs on two puzzles. The pairs worked very well to solve them. Daithi had a shape challenge for us too!

Today 3rd and Sixth had fun in the GP room. We played a loop game. Next we played Silent Sequence again. Finally we played Magic Circle- it took two goes to work it out!
