Congratulations to 5th class ( and their parents) on being super school attenders this year. We won the Attendance Trophy on numerous occasions!
Well done girls. Keep it up ! All 25 in school today too ! We really enjoyed the 3 activities that we did with Tommy and Judith yesterday. We worked co-operatively to complete the tasks that we were given. We had a great time !
(Teacher was a bit neglectful of her photography duties !! Sorry about that !!) Today we enjoyed seeing a magic show performed by Evan. Lots of girls got to assist him with some of the tricks. We also met his "wild animal" called Rocky. Here are the photos: Today we had a dance lesson with Tricia. We learned two dances. Here are the photos: ( click on the thumbnails) On the 14th of June we went on our school tour. First we went on a Viking boat. Then we went to Clonmacnoise . Then we went to Birr Gardens. We all had a great day:) !!! (by Ali, Leah D.,Tasha and Rachael) Firstly we travelled on the bus to Athlone. We got on board the boat and we put on our coats because it was chilly. We got on and we saw some swans and cygnets. We saw bay sports and when we got a picture with Viking George and left the boat we ate our lunch. The trip was loads of fun.[by Sophie, Ashanti, Lillian and Alex] When we arrived at Clonmacnoise we went to the Museum and saw the original high crosses. After that we saw a short film about Saint Ciaran and Clonmacnoise. Then we went outside and got a guided tour. We learned a lot about the round towers and the whispering arch. We had a lot of fun at Clonmacnoise! (by Ellen, Emilie, Jodie, Rihanna and Aisling ). When we arrived at Birr Gardens we got a map and we went outside to look for red squirrels. We did not find any but we found the Great Telescope and we filled in our answers to the questions on the back of our sheet. Next we went into the spiral maze. Then we pretended we were Countesses and walked through the hornbeam archways in the formal gardens. After that we went to the playground. We played in the treehouse, on the bouncy pillow and we went to the shop. We had a great time. (Olivia ,Shauna, Sarah ,Grace ,Aoife, Mija and Abigail.)

Well done to Aisling and Emilie on completing their new knitted creatures. Aisling made a colourful snake and Emilie made a cute chick ! Keep up the great work girls !
We used squared grids to make designs in colouring pencil first and then tried the same pattern as "String Art". Here are the pictures. ( Click on the thumbnails.) Thanks for reading the 5th class blog.
Today, 5th class had a great day out to visit Mount Lucas Wind Farm. We enjoyed the presentation that our guide Catherine gave us. She told us some funny stories and we learned a lot about the turbines and the wind farm. We had a chance to enjoy the interactive activities and we had a virtual trip to the top of a turbine. (That was scary but fun ! ) We filled in a quiz and Shauna won a goody-bag. Here are the pictures: Today we worked on a quilling project. Quilling is a paper craft where narrow strips of coloured paper are rolled and shaped and used to make pictures. It's a bit harder to do than it looks !! Click on the thumbnails below: |
