Look how tall our plants have grown!

April 27, 2015 Ms Brennock's Class

You can see in the final picture that the seed on Rachel’s plant is still attached to her plant! We expect it to fall off soon. Some of our plants are so tall already that we will need to support them with sticks soon. You can read more about ‘Sow and Grow’ by Innocent Smoothies here https://sowandgrow.innocentdrinks.ie/

Dioramas

April 27, 2015 Ms Brennock's Class

We created dioramas in Art this week. They are based on scenes from the novel Under The Hawthorn Tree, which we read and really enjoyed. We also watched the DVD based on the book.

The novel is set during the Great Famine in Ireland.

Keep calm and fight like a Viking !

April 23, 2015 Ms Meehans Class 2 Comments

Our topic over the last few weeks in History has been the Vikings. We really enjoyed learning lots of interesting facts about who they were, where they came from, how they lived and what they are know for.

Vikings were seafarers, who spoke the Old Norse language. They raided and traded across wide areas of northern and central Europe, as well as European Russia, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries.

Here are our projects we completed today!

Jungle Fever

April 21, 2015 Ms Meehans Class

Each animal woke up in the day, while the snakes were tangled in their own way. The lion is somehow kind, while a monkey is stuck in a vine.

The giraffe is painted red. Who is this pasty head!? The thing that done this all but they must be big and tall.

But something flew in the breeze. Oh it’s parrot in the trees! Kind, red, glowing parrot. But listen to what parrot said…. “April Fools!!”

BananaGrams!!

April 21, 2015 Ms Memery's Class

Hello Everybody,

This morning we played a game called BananaGrams. If you are wondering what BananaGrams is , its a game where you make words out of tiles. The First team to use up all their words are the winners and they shout BANANAS! .

We worked in groups and made words using vowel digraphs.

Our Opinion it is a fun game to play however when you run out of vowels it gets very tricky!!!

Fingal All Weather Pitch Opening

April 17, 2015 Ms Leonards Class

Our class was picked to go to the all weather pitch opening on Wednesday 15th April. We were picked because we were the best behaved on the yard. One class from each year was picked. We all went down to the astroturf at twelve o’clock.

We played soccer, Gaelic, SNAG Golf and a game called Goblins and Leprechauns. We all enjoyed playing golf and one of the coaches called Jake Tiger Woods! (We thought he should have called him Rory McIlroy instead!)

After we’d played the games, the pitch was officially opened. The ribbon was cut by the Mayor of Fingal. Speeches were made by the President of the GAA, Vice-President of the FAI and Minister James Reilly.

Innocent Smoothie Sow and Grow

April 16, 2015 Ms Memery's Class

Our class is taking part in the Sow and Grow project. All our materials arrived before our Easter Holidays. We planted our cress seeds yesterday. We put them on a windowsill hopefully they will get lots of sunlight. Today we are going to fill in our grow diaries. Next week we will plant courgette seeds and then pumpkin seeds. We can’t wait to plant the pumpkin seeds. We also have tomato plants growing in our classroom.
