Fraction Fun!

A super busy week in Room 5!!

We are revising fractions this week. To help us to find halves and quarters of numbers up to twenty we played some games…..

We have also studied the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci, especially one of his most famous paintings-the Mona Lisa! We took inspiration from this and painted our own Mona Lisa pictures….

We are also learning a new song, writing reports and practising our four times tables by listening to funny songs and singing along. We learned to play Zone Ball in P.E and had great fun cheering for our friends as they tried to score points!

1st & 2nd Class School Tour 2016

Hi all,

The 1st and 2nd Class will be going on their school tour on Tuesday the 31st May.

We will be leaving the school at 9:30 sharp. We will arrive back at the school at approximately 5:30pm.

This year we are heading to Clara Lara Fun Park in Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow.

The remaining balance for the tour is due in by Friday 20th May. Please check with your teacher to find out your own remaining balance.

Clara Lara is an outdoor adventure park where the children will be able to take part in

  • Tarzan Swings
  • Rope Bridges

  • Water Slides
  • Junior go-carts
  • Mini Golf
  • And much more….

On the day the children will need to bring two packed lunches with them and plenty of drinks. Please try to follow the school’s healthy eating policy with regard to lunches. As it is the school tour your child is permitted to bring a treat with them, but no fizzy drinks. There is no need to bring pocket money. Please ensure your children wear old clothes, shoes and bring a change of clothes.  The children are going to get wet so ensure they also have a towel. Suitable footwear must be worn. As the children will be outside all day sunscreen  is also very important especially if the forecast may be good for that day.

We look forward to an enjoyable day.

One World One Future – 2nd Class Geography

One World One Future

This is the heading of our 2nd Class Geography project that we completed for Irish Aid. In this project we learned lots about Ethiopia, poverty and the 17 development goals that 193 countries have agreed to work on and hope to have achieved by 2030.

More information on this topic can be found here: Irish Aid

This is what our project looked like….
