Bí Gnóthach- Making Lipbalm

We have been busy with our Bí Gnóthach mini business project. We are working with 4th and 5th Class to make lip balm to sell in school. Have a look at us making our bubblegum flavour lip balm below. After completing some market research, we think bubblegum will be our most popular flavour.

An Céilí Mór

We had a great day celebrating St. Patrick's Day in school. The whole school wore green and we had a Céilí Mór in the hall. We danced "The Bridge of Athlone", and Holly O' Toole did a solo performance.

Reading to Second

We have been reading to Second Class on Friday mornings. We are modelling good reading and reading with lots of expression. The Second Class girls have been really enjoying our visits- and we are secretly enjoying them too!

China Projects

We completed independent projects on China. We had to do all of the research ourselves. We're getting better and better at project work. Check out some of our projects below:

Magic of Music

We've just finished learning all about Caribbean music. As you'll see from the pictures below, we loved it!

We learned about all the different types of music that originate in the Caribbean. We learned lots more about the theory of music too.

Cross Country Running

Some of us took part in our first South Dublin Cross Country race of the year last week. We have all been training as part of Operation Transformation, and can feel ourselves getting fitter. We all ran really well on the day and are continuing our training for the next part of the event next month.

Problem of the Week!

Well done to Matary, winner of the last problem. Here is this week's problem. Post the correct answer to be included in the draw!

Light and Shade Planets

We created 3-D space pictures. First we splatter painted white paint onto black paper for our background. We used chalk pastels to draw the planets and used lighter and darker chalks to create the illusion of light and shade, making our planets appear 3-D.
