Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

This term, First Class has been busy, and we’ve had a fantastic time learning together! Here’s a little peek at what we’ve been up to:

We kicked off with Maths Week, where we explored numbers in creative and fun ways. The children enjoyed going on a maths trail, searching for shapes around the school, and even making their own “shape monsters”! It was a fantastic way to bring maths to life.

During Science Week, we had a trip to SETU for a bubbly science show that had everyone amazed. Back in class, we took the excitement further by experimenting with bubbles ourselves! The children were thrilled to learn more about how bubbles work, and we even wrote recounts of our visit to share our experiences.

We’ve had wonderful trips to Ferrybank Library, where we explored books and had fun discovering new stories. Plus, we had an incredible number of amazing entries from First Class in the school’s Halloween Talent Show — everyone did such a great job!

At the moment, we’re learning all about the Arctic. The children have become Arctic experts, so feel free to ask them to share all the fascinating things they’ve learned so far!
