Halloween Science and Art!
Mission Week
Mission Week 2022 got off to a great start with Sixth Class.
Well done girls!
You were great role models for the rest of the girls in the school.
5th & 6th Class itching to get practising for Peace Proms 2023!
Happy Easter everyone!
Can you believe it’s Easter already. And with the comes our final term in 6th Class.
Once again the girls have been up to a multitude of different topics. In Maths the girls were learning about 3D shapes using some fun ways to learn about polyhedra and platonic polyhedra. The girls were set a challenge to make lots of different polyhedra using cocktail sticks and marshmallows. There might have been a tasting at the end!
Some of the girls have been representing our school in Camogie. Mr. Dooley is the team manager and here are some of the players from 6th Class about to head off to their first game.
Finally, we are delighted to have welcomed our new pupil Diana. The girls have been so kind and caring towards her and she is very happy in our class. We wish her the best of luck in our school. I received a painting from her which meant so much that I feel I should share with everyone.
I wish everyone a very Happy Easter from Mrs. Power and all of 6th Class.
What a wet and wonderful Women’s week!
There was a lot of dodging and diving this week with record rainfall but we managed to have a very productive week all the same.
In English the girls have been finishing their final draft of persuasive writing on the tablets/laptops and saving these on their USB. We have moved on to our next genre which is Procedural writing.
It was International Women’s Day on Tuesday and the girls learned about some impressive Irish women in History. Kay McNulty was a skilled programmer. She was effectively doing the work which computers do for us now. Alicia Boole created Polytopes which we even use in our class when learning about 3D shape!
We had fun with our Kahoot quizzes in Geography. What a fantastic way for the girls to assess their own learning.
The girls are producing some lovely Music on their recorders and singing songs – Oro se do bheatha ‘bhaile, Amhran na bhFiann and Ireland’s Call.
To finish, take a look at the girls’ fantastic Pointillism Art display in our classroom. Can you even distinguish between the original and the girls’ creations??
Spring is in the air!
Spring is well and truly underway in Our Lady of Good Counsel and the girls definitely have a spring in their steps. Here are a few snippets of just some of the activities 6th Class have been engaging in over the last number of weeks.
The girls are having regular fun with our ‘Cluiche Clair’ in Gaeilge. Who says Irish has to be hard, it can be fun when you’re learning in a variety of ways.
We have been learning about our senses in Science and to finish off, we did some experimenting! The girls had to try and guess what liquids were from sight and smell. We also did some taste experiments to demonstrate the different areas of our tongue which experience sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
The girls used their knowledge of coordinates in Maths to draw images and also used pegboards.
Finally, happy world book day everyone from 6th Class
