5th and 6th class went on a trip to Glasnevin Cemetery. We had a tour guide who showed us the graves of some historical fugures in Irish history, such as Daniel O’ Connell, Michael Collins and Eamon De Valera. We heard stories of the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish Civil War and rebellion! We learned lots of information and we had a great day!
This month in Senior Infants we transformed our Aistear roleplay into a potion lab. We had lots of fun making potions and spells buy combining our different ingredients to make our disgusting potions. In the play dough area, we made trick or treat sweets, a witch’s broomstick, a web for a spider and lots of other Halloween themed items!

We had a great time celebrating Maths Week 2022 in 6th class and took parts in lots of fun activities! We thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Maths Week Mini Quiz with Franz Schlindwein, on Zoom. There were lots of interesting questions and we practised the day before with some fun brain teasers – see if you can have a go here: Do you know the answers? Problem solving skills in practise! Then we took part in a Maths trail in the school and yard areas, that involved putting our Maths skills to the test. We split into groups and followed the instructions as accurately...
Junior Infants loved taking part in Maths week, along with all other classes in the school. We started the week with some number runs and maths games. We got a chance with a break in the weather to do some chalk drawings in the yard, practising our shapes and numbers. We also got to incorporate some IT into our numeracy lessons. We had great fun using the interactive whiteboard for maths games, try out some of the numeracy apps on the class tablets and even got to do some programming using the school Beebots!
We have been loving #mathweek on third class! We have been very busy doing some fun activities. We did a STEM experiment and linked in with maths week. This experiment was the water cycle in a bottle. We used capacity to measure the amount of water in the bottle. We made some spooky potions and measured how much liquid was in each potion! We watched maths week t.v and learned some really cool tricks. Dr. Ken Farquhar showed us the maths behind juggling which was really cool. We did some cool riddles on the board together. Can you figure this one out?
