Today our school took part in the Operation Transformation initiative '10 at 10'. It involved everyone doing 10 minutes of exercise at 10 o'clock on February 10th.  We also had our no uniform day today so we looked extra good doing our exercises. It was great fun!

5th Class Magazine - The Fox Times!

10/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Back in September we decided that we wanted to  challenge ourselves in class and discover our hidden talents.  We wanted to explore more topics, tap into our different areas of interest, and finally, publish it on a document! The fifth class  boys and girls in room 13 have created their own magazine! It is called "The Fox Times" and is full of poems, stories, games, word searches,  quizzes, comic strips and much, much more! They have all been created by the boys and girls in the class and have been edited and chosen by the editing committee. A huge congratulations is  in order for everyone involved and we are so excited to share it with you.

As part of the initiative launched by Operation Transformation, we took part in the "10 at 10" challenge today. The idea was that all classes in our school  and in all of the schools and workplaces in Ireland would do 10 minutes of exercise at 10 o'clock on the 10th of February!  What a great idea! We had great fun  and felt fantastic afterwards!

Be Active A.S.A.P

We started a new after school programme in our school today with 1st and 2nd classes called Be Active A.S.A.P.  We set up 10 stations on our astro turf pitch and had great help from parents at each station. This week the children did athletic activities which included various forms of running, jumping, throwing and skipping. The children had great fun and we are looking forward to next week already!  We'd like to say a big thank you to  Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Kilgannon & Ms. Lane for organising and also a big thank you to all the parents who helped out.

Children from 4th, 5th and 6th Class who play basketball, took part in a tournament  in the Kingfisher, NUIG, last week.  The tournament was run by Basketball Ireland and we were lucky enough to meet the Irish basketball team coach Pete Strickland. He gave us plenty of  tips for our game. These will come in handy  over the coming weeks as we participate in the Galway Primary Schools Basketball League. Thanks to Mike Murray, Peter Strickland and all at Basketball Ireland for organising such a great event.

The Burren in Co. Clare is made up of limestone  rock and is home to a very vast range of wild plants and animals. We designed projects to display our information that  we researched in class and at home. Well done everyone, they're brilliant!
