October 2024
For three weeks in
October, we had a student teacher, Mr. Dundon in our room. We learned all about
space and the solar system. We wrote recounts of Neil Armstrong’s first step on
the moon and completed some drama relating to this moment in history. We also
made planets from papier-mâché and painted them. We were learning about 2D shapes, area and
perimeter in Maths and enjoyed some activities outside when the weather
allowed!
It was our turn to
perform at our monthly assembly, and we had a few tricks up our sleeves! We
played ‘Spooky Scary Skeletons’ on the tin whistle and we recited the poem, ‘An
Púca’ for the whole school. We did a fantastic job! We have made such good progress
on the tin whistle and we are looking forward to learning more tunes as the
year goes on.
We started
practising for Sing Out Loud which will be happening in November in The
National Opera House. We are very excited to learn this year’s songs!
We celebrated
Halloween by playing some traditional games. We went bopping for apples and we
enjoyed some barmbrack in our classroom. We also made some cupcakes and
decorated them before we went home for the mid-term break.
