Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

Another busy week in 6th Class.  The week flew by as we were busy each and every day.

In English, we completed our first Recount writing in our Manuscript Copies.  We edited and redrafted our Diaries, from the planning stage to the end product, before finally writing them in our Manuscript copies.

We have been taking a different approach to PE/Irish these last few weeks, where we are doing PE through the Irish language.  At first the girls seemed daunted by this, but they are still enjoying PE, as well as learning and using some Irish.  We hope to build on our oral Irish in this way.

The girls have been blowing the cobwebs off their Recorders in Music and they are producing some nice sounds.  Remember – practise just a few minutes every night and it will become easier.  We hope to have a little performance in the future.

And we have been enjoying Drama over the last few weeks, where the girls are in role as pirates.  Some very interesting characters in the class, indeed!
