0 Comments

 
6th class have been busy getting creative in Art, Gaeilge, SPHE and English Writing. Here are samples of their lovely work. There are Tropical Fish Scenes, Symmetrical Chinese Dragons, Word Art currently on display. We had also got together as a group to create a "Friendship Tree". Each pupil wrote down a thought on how to promote friendship and prevent bullying on their own leaves. We have been busy covering the topic "Bia" in Gaeilge and made our own "Biachlár"...  Bia go blasta, álainn i ngach bialann ar fad! Finally we now have our published Reports on display and they make for some interesting reading!

Fifth Class Gymnasts

25/11/2015

0 Comments

 
Fifth Class have been focusing on gymnastics in PE over the past few weeks. We have been performing exercises that require strength, flexibility, balance and control. We firstly worked with a partner to create a number of partner balances including counter balances, whereby we supported each other in a position. We then progressed to group balances where we found good support from group members was necessary to demonstrate successful balances. Today, we created sequences including both partner balances and group balances in groups of four. Below are some photos from our demonstrations today.

We have been busy learning about 'Report Writing' in 6th (R.10). We all chose a topic of interest to research and report on. We were careful to follow the specific framework for report writing. Once we had edited our drafts and were satisfied with the result we published our work as a Word Document. We used some great pictures from the web to support our writing. We had fun presenting our reports to the class!

This week sixth class were investigating how to test for starch using iodine and small samples such as pasta, potatoes and plastic. Working as scientists, the class made predictions as to what might contain starch, tested the items and then recorded the results. If you would like to know what starch is and where to find it, ask the boys and girls in room 11.

Juggling in Fourth Class

4/11/2015

Today we had great fun learning how to juggle with Stephen from the Galway Community Circus. We began by balancing a peacock feather on our hand, nose and chin. Stephen was very impressed with how good we were so he introduced us to the diabolo. This looked a lot easier than it was but we managed to grasp it. We also had some fun with spinning plates and flower sticks. Here are some pictures of us practising our new juggling skills:

We love books in Room 6!

We read 'My Many Coloured Days' by Dr. Seuss. He uses colours to represent the different emotions and feelings we have. We created lovely art to show the colours that best describe us.
When we read 'Owl Moon.' we used our reading strategies to help us visualise and create images in our heads of all the sights and sounds described by the author, Jane Yolen.

In our class book 'Feena's First Book of Facts,' we were learning about food and staying healthy. We read 'Eat Your Peas' by Kes Gray.
