It has been a busy few weeks in 5^th class as we prepared for our Christmas Nativity play.  It has been so great being able to sing together again.  The children have put so much time and effort into rehearsing – from choreographing all the songs to practicing lines over and over again.  There have been many challenges, between Storm Barra closing the school and learning to project voices through masks!  They have really enjoyed the whole experience and we hope you all enjoy watching!

The children in Ms McLoone’s 5th Class have been learning and researching about the Aztecs and Mexico.  They used all of what they learned to make these amazing projects.  They put so much hard work and effort into creating them!  Well done!!

Fifth class drew some amazing self portraits in art recently.

It was a lovely change this year to have Sports Day on the school grounds.  We spent the whole day doing activities like Zumba, races, rounders, soccer, dancing and more.  We even had a visit from the ice cream man who served up some scrumptious 99s!  What a day!

In Fifth class, we designed and creative our own board games.  The children loved putting their procedural writing skills to good use!

Mr. Ross’s class have spent weeks learning about the Famine and working on their projects.  They compiled all of the information they learned and researched to create fascinating posters.  They also had a homework assignment to design and create their own versions of the famous “coffin ships” that were used to transport Irish emigrants during the Famine.  Well done to all!
