Second class were busy learning all about Autumn this September. We went for a walk in the September sunshine to look for signs of Autumn. Back in the classroom we were inspired to paint pictures of Autumn trees and leaves and to create some happy hedgehogs.
Last years Fourth class created 3 videos for this years REEL life science competition. The topics they researched and created videos for were: How do fizzy drinks go fllat? How does an electrical circuit work? and a description of the cow digestive system.
They really enjoyed creating the videos and learnt so much about video making. they also learned so much about each topic as they researched it all themselves and used their own language to describe the topics. Well done guys and best of luck!!
3rd class used clay to create characters for claymation videos. They created their own stories and used stopmotion technology to create these videos. This was a great introduction to how animation is made.
2nd class had a fantastic day out in Wildlands. They zipped their way through the Zip 'n' Trek and climbed extreme heights on the fun walls. A great day was had by all.
Students in 3rd & 4th class were working as historians on our recent history trip. They were exploring Loughrea with our local community archaeologist Bernie Doherty to learn about the history of this medieval town. Although the children have been in the town many times before, they were looking at it through the lens of a historian during our field trip. They learned so much about the town moat, the medieval walled town, the castle area, the abbey, the cathedral, the crannógs, Stoney Brennan, the town gates and the town's market places. A big thank you to Bernie for taking the time to guide us!
Students in 3rd class loved our Outdoor and Adventure day at Shannon River Adventure in Roosky. The children took part in a variety of outdoor and adventure challenges like obstacle courses, archery, climbing walls, kayaking, mud slides to name a few.
They had a fantastic day...!
