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.
