Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

We all feel the chill this week so be sure to wrap up as Winter has well and truly arrived. We want to keep the colds and coughs at bay as much as possible.

The girls are really impressing me with their Gaeilge. We have been learning about Eadai (clothes) and an Seomra folctha (the bathroom). Thanks to the girls for bringing in cloths and bathroom items, we had really interactive lessons. Ta crios ar an leaba. Ta tuaille ar an urlar. Ta me ag ni mo lamha!

The girls have been all hands-on in Maths class using blocks, dienes, lollipop sticks, and are learning to change units to tens, tens to units, tens into hundreds and hundreds into tens. We also used some tasty pizzas to learn about fractions – halves and quarters. It was a tasty lesson! Great work girls.

In science we are experimenting with Magnets and made a fun fishing game. Take a look at the video of the girls on Seesaw!

Finally the girls have been doing great research on our school tablets. They are finding interesting facts about the Barn Swallow and this will be the bases of our Report Genres.

More updates soon,

Mrs. Power
