Ms Glennon’s class

We had a busy and exciting month of November in Room 3.

We really enjoyed Science week where we got the opportunity to carry out one science experiment each day. The skittle and dancing raisin experiments were two of our favourites.

We learned lots about “An Geimhreadh” agus “Ar Scoil” as gaeilge. We are also reading our book called “Spórt”.

For art we created winter snowmen and we also got the chance to enter the school crest competition.

We are continuing our CAPER reading system. We are reading lots of interesting books each week. We are also writing procedural texts every week.

We learned about the history of the Late Late Toyshow and its presenters. On the day of the toyshow we got to bring in our own favourite toy from home for Show & Tell.

We were really happy to receive a little treat going home.

We took on the MS Readathon challenge to read as many books as we could for November and the boys really embraced it.

Ms Barry’s class

This month 4th class have had lots of fun!

We started reading a new novel called Kensuke’s Kingdom. We also started shared reading at home where we are bringing new books home regularly and are trying to become regular readers at home. Our families have been very helpful with this. 

It was Science Week at the start of November and we did some very cool experiments including building rockets!

We also planted some daffodils so we are excited to watch them grow.

Jamie was chosen as our class representative for the student council and the deputy class representatives are Aaron and Justin. We are delighted that they will represent us on the student council. One of their ideas was that we should have plants in the classroom. Now each pod has their own plant. Everyone is taking great care of their plants- especially the one named Mr. Greene !!

In art we made snowflakes both 2-D and 3-D and they are looking great on the wall.

It has been a great month in 4th class and we are looking forward to the Christmas countdown next month.
