Peer Tutoring in 3rd Class

10/03/2026 /

Peer tutoring is up and running in 3rd class and the children and enjoying the activities involved.

Peer tutoring involves the children being paired together – one working as a tutor and the other a tutee. Both tutor and tutee take turns in reading a book to each other – mainly fact / non fiction books. The tutee listens to the tutor read with good fluency. As the tutee reads, the tutor helps the tutee with any words they may be unsure of with the three Ps: Pause, Prompt and Praise.

Have a look at the children below as they read and work together.

Third class had a day full of fun and excitement today to celebrate Halloween. We learned about the history of Halloween and enjoyed some traditional Halloween games in class. We played ‘Grape Escape’ – trying not to knock the grape off the flour mountain, apple bobbing and stick the hat on the witch. We also made a traditional Halloween treat of chocolate apples….. Yum Yum!!

Happy Halloween from 3rd Class!!!

We have also learned that there are four strings on a Ukulele and their names are G, C, E and A. We can’t wait to learn more about the Ukulele and continue learning how to play it!!!!!

 

 

Senior Infants School Tour 2023

12/06/2023 /

The long awaited school tour of Senior & Junior infants took place today, 12th June. The excitement as we boarded the big bus to Castle Farm Adventure in Ballyshannon was high! After a short trip up the road we were greeted by our leaders and given yellow bibs to make sure we weren’t mixed up with other schools.

The children enjoyed lots of activities: playing in the huge playground with swings, slides, climbing frames, go-karts and sand. We then had our snack and a big drink. After this the children got to pet some animals – a ferret called Jerry.  a daddy rabbit and Fudge the gerbil. We also saw a baby emu. We then went on a tour around the farm to see more animals: meerkats, parrots, lovebirds, a partridge, a beautiful peacock with its feathers out, more ferrets, ducks and ducklings, a micro pig, a big Calafornian rabbit, a chicken with hair on his legs to make him look like he had trousers on and some very noisy roosters. We had another quick turn in the playground before some well deserved hot food……Yum!

Last but not least, the children had a trip in a barrel train around the farm before hopping abord the bus to return home to Sligo. What a wonderful fun day was had!
