The pancakes were delicious!! 6th class & 2nd class joined forces here in Bushypark NS to have our first 'Digital Buddies' Workshop! Each 2nd class pupil was assigned a buddy from 6th class who worked with them during the various different stations. The 6th class pupils shared their valuable knowledge and iPad skills with their buddies and were fantastic mentors for the 2nd class pupils.

We have learned how to play 'The Galway Shawl' on tin whistle. I'm sure you'll agree we're very talented!! We have been learning about 2-D shapes and have used them to create our art. We made shape people, concentric circle flowers and 2-D shape cities. We have been learning all about China. We made some amazing projects on China, The Chinese New Year, Pandas, Tea, Chinese Dragons, Fortune Cookies, Chinese Paper Making, The Sable, Chinese Inventions and The Great Wall of China. Today we performed our Christmas play in Ms. Lane's 2nd class. It was called 'A Christmas Toy Story'. We have put a lot of work into it over the past few weeks, learning our lines, learning songs and actions and getting our costumes ready. We put on an amazing performance today for our families and friends. We wish everyone a very Happy Christmas! We have been learning about volcanoes and hibernation in 2nd class. We researched at home and presented our work to the class. Have a look at our AMAZING projects! We have been trying out many Science experiments recently including : The balloon that can't be inflated, The floating ball, Dancing raisins, Launching a balloon rocket and Erupting volcanoes. Some of us even brought in our own experiments to try out. Have a look at our pictures and videos below. We were very lucky to have Kori come to the school for two dance lessons with us. We learned some dance routines and had great fun. Have a look at some pictures and videos below. Well done to Aodhán in Ms.Lane's 2nd class who won player of the week. Aodhán showed respect on the yard and played by the rules. Well done Aodhán!!  This week we have been learning about patterns and doing lots of different activities. We even made patterns using ourselves. Can you guess what they are? We hope everyone has a happy, safe and enjoyable Halloween!! Yesterday we made Halloween shortbread biscuits. We mixed butter, sugar and flour together to make the biscuits. We used Halloween shaped cutters to cut out our biscuits. They were delicious!! We did lots of lovely activities for Maths Week. Have a look at some of the things we did. We were delighted to win extra golden pitch time this week. We went out into the sunshine and played soccer, rugby and tennis and played with hula-hoops. It was great fun! Anna made an AMAZING volcano using wire, paper, glue, water and paint. Her dad very kindly came in to us and brought some chemicals to create a really cool eruption. Well done Anna on such great work!! We investigated soil during the week. The children found stones, weeds, sticks, blades of grass and seeds. Unfortunately we did not find any worms in this soil sample. Hopefully next time. Well done to Cillian in Ms.Lane's 2nd class who won player of the week on yard. Cillian played with kindness and respect and we are very proud of him.  On Friday we did a soil investigation. We found worms, stones, roots, moss, twigs and leaves in the soil. We used magnifying glasses to get a closer look. We released the worms into the soil outside afterwards. Here's some recent artwork that we have done. We created a flower using our hands to show that, like petals, 'we are each unique and beautiful, but together we are a masterpiece.' We also made autumn trees. We used cotton buds to create our leaves. We dabbed them into orange, red and yellow paint and onto our page. We made delicious soup in school today. With the help of some parents we picked vegetables from the garden that we had sown last year. We added them to the vegetables we brought in from home to make our soup. We really enjoyed making it and it was really tasty. We are very lucky to have gotten the chance to make soup in class this morning. We brought in some vegetables and equipment from home. We went outside and picked the vegetables we grew in the school garden last year. We then washed and peeled all the vegetables and got help to chop them up. Three lovely parents came in to help us make the soup. It was really delicious!! We even had brown bread and croutons, yum! |
