Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

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??
