Má tá sé ag cur báistí b’fhéidir go mbainfeá úsáid as ‘scáth fearthainne’ chun fanacht tirim!

3rd Class had great fun taking part in Math’s Week and took the chance to take part in some fun activities. We split into teams and took part in a Math’s trail around the school and classroom (special thanks to Ms. Kane for designing the trail).
We took part in an Online Math’s Week Quiz run by Wexford Education Centre and enjoyed trying to solve the problem questions.
We finally finished off the week with some Pizza Fractions. We learned about equivalent fractions then ate quarters and eights of pizzas!!
1st class celebrated Maths Week and Halloween last week and created some Frankenstein art using the 2D shapes we have been learning about!
Fáilte arís go dtí ‘Frása na Seachtaine’ againn!
Maith sibh gach duine ar thús iontach! Go leor Gaeilge iontach le cloisteáil timpeall na scoile.
Anois, is é frása na seachtaine seo:
Seo mar a deirimid Oíche Shamhna Shona le dúine amhain.
Chun beannú do ghrúpa daoine a deirimid:
4th class had so much fun taking part in the Mini Scientist this year. There were so many interesting questions that the children came up such as;
Our winning project this year was ‘Is a human smarter in the morning, after little break or at the end of the day?’ which was completed by Ava, Nicole and Davyd. We wish them the best of luck in representing our school in the Mini Scientist final.
This week 4th class celebrated Math’s week by playing fun games in stations, using math week word problems to challenge ourselves and by going on a Math Trail. Take a look at our pictures to see how much fun we had!
6th class are enjoying a great Maths Week and taking part in lots of different activities!
We joined a Mega Maths Quiz online on Tuesday that required lots of problem solving skills to get the answers – we’re still not sure about some of them! It was a great opportunity to work together as a class and we had to explain a lot of our thinking to each other and in our final answers that we submitted.
On Wednesday we took part in a Maths Trail around the school. It was great fun! We worked in teams to arrive at our answers and covered questions about Measures, Data and Number. Putting our Maths skills to the test was a great chance for us to make sure we understand the concepts fully!
We worked inside the school and outside to measure lengths and widths, to estimate, to count data on vehicles, to discuss symmetry and to calculate information based on how old our school is.
We’re looking forward to continuing our Maths Week celebrations with some Maths riddles today!
6th class have been busy baking this year! Baking lessons allow us to put our practical Maths skills to use – weighing, measuring and timing – and also give us an opportunity to engage in some procedural writing.
So far this year, we have made banana bread and fairy cakes. We work in groups and each have different responsibilities when it comes to following Liz’s delicious recipes!
Take a look below at our lessons in action:
All of our recipes are on display in the 6th class corridor, let us know if you would like a copy to try out yourself!
We think baking is a great way to celebrate Maths Week too! We highly recommend getting involved in some active learning 😊
Caithfimid sár – obair a rá leis na cailíní agus na buachaillí go léir a bhí ag obair chomh crua ar a gcuid Gaeilge le cúpla mí anuas.
Déanaimis iarracht ár n – abairt nua a úsáid ar scoil an tseachtain seo!
3rd Class celebrated Space Week with different activities each day. We learned all about the earth and the different layers that make up the planet. We then molded our own planets out of clay and painted the layers from core to mantle.
While learning about the moon we decided to check out how craters are formed with a fin experiment involving flour, cocoa powder and various sized marbles.
We tested out which type of cola would make the best “Rocket Fuel” with the coke and mentos experiment. We figured the cola that produced the highest fountain would have the greatest force and therefore the make the best fuel.
Finally we were delighted to take part in the Dream Space webinar all about our solar system and learning how to code our own Space Invader computer game.
