Pharaohs

Pharaohs were the rulers of Ancient Egypt.
We designed our own pharaohs and gave them names, writing them in "
hieroglyphics
".

Jewellery 

Ancient Egyptians wore beautiful, expensive gold jewellery. Both men and women loved to wear exquisite gold pieces decorated with colourful jewels. We designed our own pieces of jewellery for our pharaohs and wore them while we presented our projects.

Our Wonderful Projects!

After two weeks of learning all about the fascinating Egyptians, we worked in groups to research and gather all of our information to create amazing projects. We did such a great job! We found out so many interesting facts about their lives. Did you know that it took almost 2 months to mummify a body? There are 140 pyramids in Egypt and the Pyramid of Giza is one of the Seven Wonders of the world!!

0 Comments

 
We completed projects on 26 countries in Europe. Some of us made posters, a few of us made projects using Microsoft word and others made powerpoint presentations. We put a lot of hard work into our projects and we all learned lots of interesting facts about all the countries. For example did you know that the longest place name in Ireland is Muchanaghederdauhaulia in Co. Galway? And did you know that in 2008 Norway knighted a penguin? You can read some of our projects below. Enjoy!

Garda Visit

10/5/2016

1 Comment

 
On Thursday 28th April, our 6th Classes had a visit from three members of the Garda Síochana; Garda Alan Regan, Sergeant Mick Walsh and Garda Kevin Farrelly.  They spoke to us about their work as Gardaí and also about behaviour and respect in general.  It was very informative and we learned some interesting things - it was a great insight into the difficult work that the Gardaí have to do.
​
We also had a little bit of fun and got to see some of the Garda Training equipment in action, such as: training shields and real handcuffs!  The Gardaí also used the "Speed Gun" to check our running speeds on the yard - some of our runners very nearly got speeding tickets!! 

We would like to thank Garda Alan and his colleagues for taking the time to visit us.

The work of Galway born milliner Philip Treacy was the inspiration for our hat creations in Rang 5. We used a range of different materials and more importantly our imaginations to create the hats. We feel our hats would look well at this years Galway Races.
