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.
Cinderella
The girls in 4th class had a great surprise, when the cast of Cinderella popped into the school, on the way to the ball, for a vist. The show was hilarious, the music was amazing and the smiles were as big as ever. Great fun had by all.
Art and Sports
Fourth class have been very busy since retunring to school. We have been learning all about colours, mixing and the colour wheel. They created colour wheels with these colours and made beautiful multi-coloured eyes.
The girls are also lucky enough to have a soccer workshop in school today. They had great fun practising new skills.
