Science

In science we learned about conductors and insulators so we tested out some materials to see which ones make the best insulators. We would make really good scientists! 

Christmas t-shirts

Last week in art we made our own Christmas tshirts . We drew and cut out our own stencil and then used paint to print onto our tshirts. We had done really cool ones. Have a look! 

Green Flag Day

We received our 6th Green Flag last week. We had a big celebration and we sang some songs for the minister and all the school. It was really enjoyable and we did a great job! 

Teamwork

I'm P.E. We had great fun playing games as a team and working together. Here are some pictures of us helping each other out! 

Human rights

This week to mark international Human Rights Day we were learning all about human rights and the universal declaration of human rights. We learned about some of the different rights we all have as people and how still today some people are still being denied their basic human rights.

 Here is a picture of

us depicting the human right " Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him" 

Weaving

We started weaving our own dream catchers in class. They take a lot of time but they are coming along nicely. We are getting much better at weaving. It's very relaxing and enjoyable. 

Hallelujah Concert

On the 2nd of December we went to city west with 6th class to the Hallelujah concert. It was a great night and we got to see Ireland's biggest boy and at the moment "Hometown". They were very good! It was a really enjoyable night and it was worth all the time and effort we have put in over the last month learning the songs and dance moves. We also performed some songs at assembly which everyone really enjoyed. 

Making butter

We learned all about food and farming in the past in history. Then we learned about how butter was made in the past using butter churns. We then did an experiment in class to watch the physical change from cream to butter. It took a long time but we used a marble to help speed up the process. 

Picasso-Cubism

In English we read a Michael Morpurgo novel called "Meeting Cezanne" In the novel we learned about Picassoabd how he was influenced by the great artist Paul Cezanne. In Art last week we looked at some of Picassos works and discussed them. We learned all about his individual style of painting called "cubism".Cubism pictures are very abstract and look like they have been cut up and put back together. Here are some pictures of us creating our own cubist portraits. We drew two portraits and cut them up ands tuck them together. We ended up with two peculiar looking portraits. Don't they look great!

Perfect Attendance

Here we are with our Perfect Attendance certificates! None of us have missed a single day yet this year! Keep it up! 

Friendship Week

As part of friendship week we made friendship bracelets.  Then as an act of kindness we gave each person in room 8 ( our neighbours) their own friendship bracelet. They were really grateful for their bracelets and it was a nice surprise. We really enjoyed making them and giving them to our younger friends in third class

. 

Bible Studies

We do Bible Studies every Monday with Colon Sheldon and we learn different hand signs every week. It is really fun and we play lots of different games. 

GAA

We are learning GAA skills in P.E. We are really improving every week! 

Visit from Garda

Last week we learned all about what it's like to be a Garda and the different kinds of jobs they do. It was really interesting. We learned all about their uniform and we even got to see and feel some of their equipment.
