We really enjoyed creating our Valentine’s Day Heart craft. We painted and decorated these lovely hearts. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ❤️

With Halloween just around the corner, our classroom has been busy brewing up some spooky fun! This week, we transformed ordinary egg cartons into wickedly wonderful witches! 🥚✨ Each witch turned out completely unique — some friendly, some frightful, and all full of Halloween charm! 🧹🎃 This craft was a brilliant way to reuse materials, explore painting and cutting skills, and let our imaginations run wild. Now our classroom is filled with cackles and colour, a sure sign Halloween is near!

This week in our classroom, we carried out a fun science experiment to help us understand how rain is formed. All pupils were so excited to become “mini meteorologists” for the day! 🌦️Here’s what we did: We filled the jar about three-quarters full with water, this represented the air. Then we added a layer of shaving foam on top, our fluffy cloud! Using a dropper, we carefully dropped blue (well it ended up being red, as shops were all out of blue, very Halloweeny) food colouring onto the shaving foam. The pupils observed closely as the “rain” built up inside the cloud. Eventually, the food colouring began to seep through the foam and fall down into the water below, just like rain falling from a cloud! The children learned that clouds can only hold so much water vapour before the droplets become too heavy and fall as rain. It was a wonderful visual demonstration of precipitation in action. We finished by recording our observations in our SESE booklets and discussing other types of weather we’ve experienced lately.

We had great fun this week mapping out our spider webs with tape and then painting them. We can’t wait to lift the tape to reveal our fabulous webs.

Our 5th and 6th class students enjoyed taking part in a GAA football match against Scoil Mhuire last Friday! They showed great teamwork throughout the match. Well done to all involved! ⚽️🥳

This week in First and Second Class, the classroom was buzzing with hands-on maths activities! The pupils engaged in a variety of practical exercises, focusing on counting, estimating, and exploring place value. Using manipulatives and interactive challenges, they developed a deeper understanding of numbers while having lots of fun. The emphasis on active learning made maths tangible and exciting, encouraging curiosity and confidence in every child.

This week, we took our learning outdoors and celebrated the beauty of autumn with a special egg box nature trail ! Each child was given an empty egg box, and their challenge was to fill it with little treasures they could find around the school grounds and in the woods.

We had fun tie-dying t-shirts this week! Well done, everyone!

We have been learning all about Wassily Kandinsky in Art. We completed PowerPoints in pairs all about him. We created our own versions of his Concentric Circles Art.

We enjoyed some time in our outdoor classroom last week during the lovely weather. 🌞

We had fun creating Easter Art during our Art class this week!
