Gaeilge

For European Day of Languages we took part in a Zoom singing lesson with GRÁinne na Gaeilge and the wonderful Máire Ní Churraoin.

Art

For art in September, we have been looking at the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. We are recreating ‘The Last Supper’ in a variety of styles and using a variety of mediums.

Congratulations and well done to the girls from 6th Class who play for our school football team. We made it to the semi-final of the Cumann na mBunscol competition, only having moved up a division last year. The girls played an amazing game of football against Bohermeen but it wasn’t our day. The girls in 6th class have played for the school team since they were in 3rd class and have represented their school with class, respect and great sportsmanship over those years. Maith sibh a chailíní.

Happy Halloween! We had great fun dressing up for our last Halloween in primary school! We did a presentation to the school during assembly telling them some facts we learned about the history of Halloween.

For Art this Month we have been working on Clay. Using pinch pots as our base, we created monsters or Halloween inspired figures.

In Science this month we were exploring pneumatics. We worked in groups to create pneumatic lifting devices powered by us.

We were given a task to work in groups to create a structure that would prevent an egg from cracking if we dropped it from a height. Most of our eggs survived, with only one causality!!

One of our 6th Class pupils sold her handmade earrings to raise money for the Irish Guide Dogs. We were so excited to have a visit from a service dog and his owner and a dog who was in training so they could receive the donation.

In December we were busy preparing for our Christmas Musical- The Greatest Show. Every child in 6th class gave their absolute best performances both onstage and behind the scenes. Their dedication and talent would rival any professional musical company. Well done to all!

Sa chúrsa Gaeilge bhíomar ag obair ar ár gcuid Gaeilge labhartha a úsáid. Anseo, táimid ag imirt Monoply agus ag déanamh ár ndícheall an oiread Gaeilge a úsáid.
