Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

The girls rejoined their same old teacher and classroom and looked forward to new adventures in Third class. Here are a few snippets of just some of their activities.

In Geography we explored our school surroundings as well as looking at the environment around our school. The girls used some worksheets and worked in groups to discover the attractive and unattractive features of our environment.

The girls used some inspiration from their friends and created a life size image of three of their classmates in Visual Arts. They look great hanging in our corridor.

They also designed and created some clown collages using fabrics and fibres.

We created some patterns using matchsticks in Maths. The girls were able to predict, continue, represent and generate patterns.

We also enjoyed listening to a 6th class student reading a story to us for International languages day, translated by a 3rd class child.

The highlight of our first half-term was Mission Week. The girls were outstanding when they designed, created and advertised for their sales day during Mission week. They had an abundance of items for sales and worked tirelessly all day selling cakes, buns, books, toys, games, jewellery and lots more. They finished the week with the Talent show and a whole lot of smiles!
