It's beginning to look alot like Christmas....

Everyone is very excited about Christmas in 5th and 6th class. 
We have been so busy the last few weeks with the Christmas Fair organisation, where we all worked on the stalls, with our Christmas performance and with our very own Christmas decoration project.

December Recycling Project

Well done to everyone who made fantastic Christmas decorations as part of our December project.
Here is a small taste of the excellent crafts the class made at home.

Bizworld

5th and 6th became entrepreneurs in November when Bizworld picked our school to visit. Oisín taught us lots about the business world and we then had to create our very own animated movies and pitch our ideas to James who offered us shares in our businesses. Lots of skills were learnt over the two days and we covered areas such as economics, mathematics, English language skills, social studies and computer programming. We all really enjoyed the experience!

GAA Blitz

We had a great day in Bray Emmets at the Gaelic Football Blitz. We got to play different schools on the day from around Bray and had a really good time representing our school.

 

Dublinia Viking Exhibition

5th and 6th class went to the Dublinia Viking Exhibition, on Wednesday as part of their Viking studies in SESE. We all had a wonderful day and we learned so much about the Viking people, their settlements, how they travelled, where they travelled to and we even got to sit inside one of their homes. It was really dark and smelly! When we finished the exhibition, we sat outside Christchurch and ate our lunch in an outdoor Amphitheater. It was really cool.
Take a look at some of our pictures from the day.

Maths Champs

5th and 6th class really enjoyed Maths Week in Ravenswell.

A huge congratulations goes to all the girls who worked very hard on all the maths activities, and special congratulations goes to those girls who were crowned Maths Champs this week. 

Pumpkin Carving

We all had a great time this week carving our own pumpkins in class. The best bit was scooping out the insides of the pumpkin, as our hands got very messy.

Monday's Maths Champs!!!

Well done to Sophie and Caitlyn on becoming Monday's Maths Champions. We will have a new set of champions everyday this week, as part of Maths Week 2013.

 

Irish Counties Project

Well done to all the girls on completing their first project for this year. We all had one Irish County to research and study and they all look amazing....

A lovely treat....

5th and 6th had Hot Chocolate this week after completing their September projects. It was a well deserved treat.

WE LOVE SPORT !!

We are very lucky to have Gaelic football training every week with Conor and Ruth. Here are some action shots...:)

Black and White

Have a look at our beautiful Black and White portraits. We really enjoyed doing them.

We are all very "Brainy" in 5th and 6th

5th and 6th have been studying the Brain in Science. 
We have learnt lots about the different parts of the brain and their functions.

Bray Culture Night 2013

5th and 6th Class were busy this week designing their very own door. This was part of an Art Project for Bray Culture Night. Our door will be on display this Friday 20th in Bray Signal Arts Centre.

 

Sketching in the Garden...

5th and 6th class enjoyed an Art Class in the garden this week. We chose some objects that we liked and we sketched some of them using a pencil.

Welcome back to 5th and 6th Class

Welcome back girls! It's going to be a fantastic year ahead. I hope you are all looking forward to it....

Dancing Divas!

We had our school disco on Friday June 21st. A DJ came in to our school hall. It was really fun and even the teachers took part! We had our dancing shoes on!

 

Seomra Visit

6th Class had a great Monday afternoon in Seomra Youth Centre. There was so much to do and we will definitely be going back again with our friends...

6th Class School Tour

6th class went on school tour last Monday to Causey Farm, Co. Meath. We had a great day and the sunshine was fantastic. We had an absolute ball and did activities such as; An Obstacle course, Nature walks, Giant Bubble Blowing, Graffiti Art in the barn, feeding the horses, rabbits and goats and we even got to hold newborn piglets.
The best part of the tour by far was the BOG JUMPING...We jumped from a height into the bog and we were chest deep in black, squidgy mud. Some of us found it difficult to get ourselves out and our friends had to come pull us out. It was such a good activity and we had so much fun !

5th Class School Tour!

Fourth and Fifth Class went on the school tour on Friday June 7th. They went to Dún Laoghaire on the DART. They walked the pier, went to the park and ate some delicious Teddy's ice-cream. The sun was out and it was a beautiful day. They went back to Bray Bowling at 12 o'clock. They played bowling for an hour and quasar for 20 minutes. They finished their day eating some pizza. It was a fantastic day!
