The senior classes have been lucky enough to take part in a cricket training programme. Here’s sixth class enjoying their first session!
Engineers Week
The children in Ms Hanbidge’s class really enjoyed Engineers Week. The children spent time planning and building their dream playgrounds in groups. These were such impressive models and structures that 3rd and 4th class came to visit and see what they could learn from us!
Mr Stephen Fraser came to teach us about maritime engineering, skyscrapers and even the Luas bridge in Dundrum.
Later in the week we also built monsters, which were great fun!
We’ve learned a lot of wonderful skills related to engineering, such as collaborating, designing, problem solving and planning. What a super week!
Playground structures
Fourth Class had a great time planning, building and testing our playground structures. We used a variety of different shapes and folding techniques to make fun and stable structures. We then created our own tinfoil testers to make sure our playgrounds would pass health and safety tests!
1st Class Engineers
First class were busy making playgrounds, creatures and marble runs out of paper and recyclable materials for Engineers Week! They had fabulous creative ideas and lots of fun!
Engineering Buddies
Here we are at our Buddies stations for Engineers Week, enjoying building fun in the sunshine!
WBD in 1st Class
First Class really enjoyed World Book Day last week! We loved having extra DEAR time and dressing up. Take a look at some of our super costumes!
Junior Infants do WBD
Junior infants had great fun on World Book Day. We really enjoyed sharing stories with our 6th class buddies. We also listened to Julia Donaldson read “The Teeny Weeny Genie”, played a game of Name that Book, made book markers, enjoyed the school parade and added lots of links to our school paper chain!
We were so busy!!!
World Book Day fun in 2nd class
On World Book Day we all dressed up as our favourite book characters and read our books out to our class pals.
