Táimid fós ag foghlaim faoin aimsir an tseachtain seo agus táimid chun díriú ar fhrásaí a bhaineann le an ghaoth.

Is é frása na seachtaine inniu…

Tá se gaofar!

An seachtain seo chugainn, ba bhreá linn cuid de do frásaí a fheiceáil ar taispeáint anseo.

Bheadh sé go hiontach dá bhféadfá cuid de na frásaí a scríobh síos agus iad a mhaisiú nó pictiúr a tharraingt chun a gciall a thaispeáint! Mar shampla…

We love to integrate technology into the classroom whenever we can. Children are so adept at using IT now they are practically teaching us! We make regular use of the school tablets to enhance our learning, particularly during Math stations.

We use the IWB daily in the class and children love to get a chance to play games in literacy and numeracy activities.
We teach basic programming throughout the school and love to get a chance to use the Beebots to teach early programming skills and more computer based coding with senior classes.

Nollaig Shona duit!

Anois, is é frása na seachtaine seo:

Tá go leor rudaí ar mhaith leat a rá, b’fhéidir…

Ba mhaith liom leabhar nua.

Ba mhaith liom cluiche ríomhaire.

Ba mhaith liom cluiche cláir.

Ba mhaith liom liathróid peil.

Cad eile ar féidir leat smaoineamh air?

In November all classes in the school took part in Anti-Bullying Month. We engaged in cooperative games, completed lessons on bullying and discussed what bullying means. We loved playing Chinese Whispers and discussing how rumours start! We concluded bullying has 3 elements;

  1. Hurting Someone’s Body or Feelings
  2. Lots of Times
  3. On Purpose

We finished the month by creating and discussing Anti-Bullying Posters.

For Science week, we tested our senses. Did you know, about 70% of our taste is linked to our sense of smell? We investigated this using skittles and can confirm that it is true! We hope you like our video 🤩

6th class have been taking part in the Dare to Believe Programme, run by Team Ireland which aims to teach us about Olympic values, hard work and reaching our full potential!

We loved taking part in the programme and learning about the following topics:

  • Olympic and Paralympic Games
  • Maintaining a Healthy Mind and Body
  • Finding Joy in Effort
  • Respect and Equality
  • Striving for Excellence

We took part in ‘Weekly Challenges’, including spreading kindness and getting active! We created art work based on the topics covered and to top it all off, we had a visit from a Team Ireland athlete!

We were so lucky to have Gráinne Walsh visit our class for an afternoon and that 5th class joined us! Gráinne is a boxer who is aiming to qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 🥊 She told us about her career to date, her family and friends, her motivation and the challenges she has faced to get to this point. We were so impressed by her story and even a managed to hold her medal 🏅 and plate from previous victories. We held a press conference and got to ask Gráinne some questions, such as ‘What motivates you?’ and ‘How do you feel before a fight?’ She signed her autograph for us and said she was very impressed with our hard work as part of the Dare to Believe Programme. We hope Gráinne goes on to qualify in February and that she’ll be able to visit us again 😊

Huge thanks as always to Paddy for encouraging to get involved in sports and to work hard!

November is anti-bullying month in school. We learned a lot about different types of bullying and how to deal with it this month.
Bullying is behaviour that is …

  • Repeated
  • hurtful
  • deliberate

We made some anti-bullying posters to stand up to bullying!
