Our chapter on fieldwork coincided nicely with good weather! We used hula hoops to focus our attention on a small area.

We had a lovely morning with Martina. We looked at flowers and used sticky tape to make brooches and bracelets!

We spent a lovely morning working outside with Martina from Heritage in Schools making bracelets and badges using flowers from our school ground.

Today we had an unusual art lesson. We took a walk up the lane near the school. Each pair had a colour card with six different shades. The challenge was to find a matching item for each colour from nature. There was lots of discussion and changing of items! https://canva.link/zw933sf6ke5ykgr

5th and 6th Class enjoyed some outdoor painting today to finish off our Famine Cottages. We are eager to finish our novel “Under the Hawthorn Tree” by Marita Conlon-McKenna tomorrow. It is based on life in Ireland during the Famine.

Well done to all who participated in the Cumann na mBunscol games today in Dromore West. The end score line was 9:7 in the girls game who are now through to the Quarter Finals. The boys are through to the Shield competition as runners up after their tight game with an end result of 14:11. Well done to everyone!

Pat has started coaching with us. Today we concentrated on getting away from our marker, control of the ball and being able to move away quickly.

We had fun using the Lego Spike kits this week. https://canva.link/9mrgxm9e3m287gj

We had a fire drill today. Everyone exited the school calmly and assembled in the yard. Well done to those who remembered to close the classroom doors!

5th and 6th Class had lots of fun today using the Lego Spike kits. They used their teamwork and engineering skills to design, make and code their creations. Some great work in a short space of time! Jack also showed us his own robot that he has designed and programmed to open and close its mouth to play music and it also has a laser eye! This was all inspired by the Lego Spike kits. Maith thú!
