The week before the long awaited Mission Week.  6th Class have beautiful posters created which they advertised to all classes this afternoon.  6th Class will kick off Mission Week on Monday morning and we are very excited this year.  I know the girls have been planning and organising their displays for quite a while now and all the effort will pay off.  Best of luck to the girls on Monday – and the teachers are also looking forward to purchasing some nice treats!

This week was Maths Week and the girls have been working hard on Fractions.  They put their knowledge of fractions to work for Maths games on our tablets on Thursday and had fun playing virtual soccer, while answering some questions.

We have been integrating History, Drama and English on the topic of Ancient Egypt.  Through powerpoints, documentaries, animation and our History and Guided reading books, the girls did their own performance on the events in King Tutankhamun’s life.  This week the girls, in groups, presented information to the rest of the class and matched this information with images.   They are now working on a mini project on Ancient Egypt, which the teacher will assemble together and publish our second class book.

The girls performed their recorders this week at Assembly.  They performed and sang ‘Faoileán’, ‘Tá ‘n leon ‘na chodladh ‘nocht’ and ‘If you’re happy and you know it’.  All the other classes joined in on the last tune, and made it very entertaining.

And finally, they have been learning about the Skeletal System in Science.  Here is a song which we have started to help the girls remember the skeletal system.  https://youtu.be/aUHh8uMdBso
