SEPTEMBER 2024
Sport Achievements by Sadie and Daisy
In September we competed in Mini Sevens and Cross Country. Mini Sevens was held in Kilmeena GAA pitch. We teamed up with Carrakennady and the girls won matches but got knocked out in the first round. The boys won all their matches and got to the next stage but lost. For Cross Country, we didn't win but some of us got close to the front. It was very fun!

P.E by James and Nathan
We did Outdoor Adventures as our P.E topic for September. For the outdoor adventures every Friday the entire school walked to either Millennium park,the Greenway, the statue or the Abbey. We also did things like a bug hunt with the Middle room and a nature walk down past millennium park and the Abbey. Our favourite part about the outdoor adventures was the Nature walks because we thought it was a lot of fun
Literacy Stations by Anthony and Sophie
Everyday we do literacy stations for about half an hour except for Friday. The stations are reading your class novel with Ms Mc Walter like Safe Harbour,Attack Of The Viking and Fields Of Home. The other stations are ag léamh as Gaeilge with Ms Finnerty, free writing and IXL English.
Birds of Ireland by Michael and Simon
We did a lot of research on the birds of Ireland. We went for a walk down by the Abbey and we were bird watching. We saw and heard a lot of birds. Then after that we learned a lot about birds and we each did our own project about them. After everyone was done their project each of us presented our projects to everyone else in the room.

NOVEMBER 2024
Australia by Gracie
The senior room are doing projects on Australia. Recently we have been doing Aboriginal art. Aboriginals are an old tribe who lived in Australia for years. We've also done our own maps where we used an atlas to help us. Ms. Finnerty has helped us with some projects as well as doing loads of categories such as animals, sports, climate and much more.
I really enjoyed this activity because we got to pick our own topic. I’m doing an Aussie Rules project. I've found loads of fun facts like the average AFL player receives up to 1 million every season, and much more.
Pipette Art
We used test tubes to mix water colours for our art this week. We used pipettes to drop the water colours onto our pictures to create crazy wind blown hair using blow painting technique. We also painted secret messages on kitchen towels and used pipettes with drops of water colour to discover what was on them.
