Spooky Spider’s in Ms. Kelly’s Class!

This is what’s going on in Ms Kelly’s class!

First, they had to get to know each other. They did lots of art and they wore t-shirts so that they didn’t get their clothes dirty. They made spider webs with spiders in them. They also did a project about the school. Then they played sparkle in Irish and English. They did recorder and singing and Go Noodle, lots of running laps, lots of homework and lots of Maths.

Totem Poles and Science in Ms. Aivalikli’s Class

Last month, Ms Aivalikli’s class did a lot!

In History, the class learned about Native Americans. They talked about weapons like totem poles. In Gaeilge they did Mé Feín and had conversations as Gaeilge!

In science they did some experiments. They mixed milk, vinegar and sugar with water to see what happened. They also read up to Chapter 9 in ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’. In Maths they did stations. In their stations, they played games. Their favourite game was War.

What a busy month!

Science, Fun and Art in Ms. Elmes’ Class

Hi, my name is Eoin and I am in Ms. Elmes’ class.

In school, we are learning about lots of new things. We are learning about the bones, the organs, how they work and where they are.

We are also learning lots of Irish games and English. Ms Elmes likes to make learning fun by playing maths games.

We also have great fun in Art class. This term we have already painted self-portraits, autumn trees and lighthouse by sea. Ms. Elmes also taught “marbling” which was great fun as we used water and paint. Our first project was on My Family. Everyone can see our projects and read them outside of our classroom.

News from Ms. Byrnes’ Second Class!

Ms. Byrnes’ Second Class have done lots of interesting things.

They were making predictions for the All – Ireland final and drawing team jerseys. In Art they drew 3D hands and learnt about optical illusions. They read about Oisin and Tir na n-Og and made postcards he might have sent from there.

I really liked their class group names which are BRIGHT SPARKS, WIZZ KIDS, BRAIN BOXERS AND CLEVER CLOGS.

Interesting Interviews in First Class!

I had an interview with Mr. Donnelly’s class. They are enjoying First Class but when I asked them what they missed about Senior Infants, they said finishing at half one. They all said that they like basketball, football and dodgeball.

I got an exclusive interview with Flynn. Flynn is a six-year-old boy who has travelled all over the world. His favourite countries that he has ever been to are Cambodia, Bali and Thailand.

Mr. Donnelly then told me that the children in his class love when he teaches his favourite subject which is Science. He said sometimes they can act like cheeky monkeys! The class did an experiment to see how a helicopter can fly. They made their own out of paper. They had great fun flying them.

Artistic Aztecs in Fifth Class!

Ms. Lennon’s class were learning about all elements of the Aztecs. For example, they learned that girls married at the age of fourteen, whilst boys married at the age of nineteen. The Aztecs ate a lot of cheese. Also, they had two gods for most things, for example, they had two war gods so one could sleep and one could work.

Ms. Lennon’s class also made some Aztec art such as sun stones from clay. Next the class will make some mosaic masks.
