Happy Easter
It has been a very busy terms. From peace proms to Paddys day, we have arrived this week at Easter. We have been reading about events of Easter week, creating funky bunny art and using our ever developing Maths skills, to crack a code, on an Easter Egg hunt. Safe to say, Maths has never been so fun. Enjoy the break everyone!
Peace Proms
Congratulations to the girls in 4th and 5th class on their wonderful performance in Peace Proms. They were just fantastic and according to one volunteer at peace proms, our school brought the party. The girls have worked very hard on their singing and dancing and we can agree, it paid off. They were fantastic.
We continued a busy week with world book day, where the book characters came out in force.
Dancing and Learning
The girls have been very busy preparing for their peace proms performance, learning songs, learning choreography and coming up with their own routine, a special treat for us all to look forward to.
They are extending these dancing skills not just in PE and music but in learning both long and short multiplication and doing so very well.
Merry Christmas
The girls have had a great time this December. They have been engaging in procedural writing and enjoyed it no end, writing about making salt clay ornaments, paper baubles and reindeer hot chocolate bags.
The girls have been performing mad, performing their carols in the Little Sisters of the Poor and in the church. I think we can all agree the guys with the shades were fantastic. Their final performance is a Christmas Dance just for our class.
4th Class wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you all in 2024!
Science Week
The girls have been busy over the past two weeks getting ready for science week. Each group performed an experiment both junior and senior infants class. They were learning about magnets, acids and bases using baking powder and vinegar, static electricity and water refraction. All the girls and mini muinteoirs really enjoyed themselves.
The girls in 4th class also had a great time at a Peace Proms workshop in the SETU this week. They enjoyed singing and dancing with all the other schools and cannot wait til March for their big performance.
Mission Week
On Wednesday, the girls in 4th class held a mission week shop in the hall. The girls made posters to advertise their goods, made presentations to classes, set up the hall and ran it all so well. So many wonderful toys and books were available and the most scrumptious treats. Well done to all the girls and their families for presenting such lovely things.
Maths Week
The girls had great fun this week, reading maths story books and doing fun activities from them. They measured items around the class, made a time timetable for the upcoming Mission Week, made symmetrical monster and fraction pizzas, We rounded out the week with a maths trail around the school. Great fun was had by all.
The girls this week started learning about the history of Halloween and did a wonderful job re-enacting the legend of Loftus Hall. Yhe performances were amazing. Who knew scary stories could be so funny.
