Seeing The World Through A Lens
The children in 1st and 2nd had so much fun this week during a photography lesson with our wonderful visitor, photographer James! Using our iPads, they learned how to take creative and interesting photographs, try out some fun photography tricks, and look at the world in new and exciting ways through the eyes of a camera lens. It was great to see their creativity shine!
Our Minibeast Hunt
Our Minibeast Hunt
The Junior and Senior Infants and 1st and 2nd Class went on an exciting minibeast hunt in our school garden! Armed with our magnifying glasses, insect pots and clipboards, we became little nature detectives.
We discovered lots of creatures, including earthworms, spiders, ants, woodlice and slugs.
We loved using our magnifying glasses to get a closer look and were amazed by what we found hiding in our garden!
What a fantastic minibeast adventure!
............And some not so MINI!! But we decided it was best to leave them where they were!
Ukulele Fun in 3rd & 4th Class!
There’s great excitement in 3rd and 4th Class as we’ve just begun our ukulele lessons with Niall!
We’re learning “The Green and Red of Mayo” and have already mastered our first two chords. There’s been lots of enthusiasm, smiles and plenty of strumming as we get to grips with our new instruments!
We can’t wait to keep learning, singing and making music together!
Say Yes to Languages
The 5th and 6th class pupils have started the Say Yes to Languages Programme, beginning their journey learning French with Allen.
The children had a very special introduction to the language as Allen, who is also a talented musician, brought along his cello and clarinet. The pupils really enjoyed listening to him play and had the opportunity to experience music alongside their first French lessons.
STEM Problem Solving
The 5th class are developing their problem-solving skills in maths, with a particular focus on thinking logically and explaining their reasoning. All groups work collaboratively in groups, with each member taking on an important role: the Reader reads and helps the group understand the problem, the Calculator carries out the necessary calculations, the Checker checks that the working and answer make sense, and the Reporter explains the group’s thinking and solution to the class. 5th class are making great progress with thie problem solving. Well Done !!!!
