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.

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 did lots of lovely activities for Maths Week. Have a look at some of the things  we did.

We did some lovely activities  this week for Maths  Week. Here are some pictures of what we did.  They were fun ways of learning Maths.

We have been learning about 2-D Shapes this week. We used matchsticks and wool to construct the shapes we learned about. For art, we used Wassily Kandinksy's concentric circles as our inspiration to create flowers.

Today in Maths, we were working on the concepts of greater than, less than and equals. We used dice, playing cards, counters and whiteboards to practise our skills. It was a fun way to do Maths!

We are delighted that 7 of our students have reached the Connacht finals in the national Mathletes.ie competition. Maria, Kyra, Natalija and Marcus in 5th class as well as Stephen K, Stephen C and Aditya in 6th class will all be attending the finals in Claregalway Secondary School on Saturday, May 10th. Well done!!

Our 5th and 6th class students have been taking part in the Mathletes Challenge 2014. The children have been working on improving their maths in their own time at home and have been doing fantastically so far. The challenge involves children using the Khan Academy website to practice and master a variety of Maths skills.
So far we are in 2nd place overall in the country for primary schools. We are also very proud of our 3 fifth class students Kyra, Natalja and Marcus who are all in the top 10 in the country for fifth class and also Stephen C who is in the top 10 for sixth class.
We will have to keep working hard to keep ourselves up the leaderboard.
