5th and 6th class went on their school tour to Shannon River Adventure, Thursday the 18th of June. Under the supervision of safety instructors, the children took part in land and water based activities. They started their adventurous School Tour with activities such as, scream races, obstacle courses, archery, rock climbing amongst other playground challenges and games. They later had a light snack before starting their water based activities such as mud sliding, pier jumping, canoeing and kayaking. The students of 6th class reported that their final school tour was one of the best they ever had. -Tommy Clancy of 6th Class.

Last week, our 5th and 6th Class pupils hosted an amazing Cultural Day in the school. Each group worked very hard to create a project about their country of heritage or a country of their choice. The children proudly shared traditional clothing, artefacts, arts and crafts, music and delicious food from around the world. The hall was filled with wonderful colours, sounds, smells and smiles, creating a fantastic atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
A huge thank you to all the parents and families who helped make the day so special by sharing their culture with us and especially for providing such delicious traditional foods. Your support and generosity were greatly appreciated. It was a wonderful celebration of the diversity in our school community, and we hope this will become an annual event in the years to come!
As part of our Heritage Keepers project this year we had the amazing opportunity to visit Sligo Woodland School for a day where we got to learn all about tress, nature and how and why it is important for us to protect it for future generations. We learned how to plant trees, chop wood, make sustainable toys and crafts from wood. We also got the opportunity to build our own shelters from wood, make skewers for roasting marshmallows and had lots of fun relaxing in hammocks and playing on the wooden swings. Thank you so much to Trisha and team for facilitating such an amazing day.
Last week in Ms. Monaghan’s maths class, we were learning all about 3-D shapes. We explored the names and properties of different shapes, focusing on their faces, edges and vertices.
To help us understand these ideas better, we made our own 3-D shapes using marshmallows and spaghetti! This fun activity helped us clearly see how edges join at vertices to form different shapes. It was a great hands-on way to bring maths to life!
We also learned about the nets of 3-D shapes and how flat shapes can be folded and constructed to make solid objects. By examining and building nets, we gained a better understanding of how 3-D shapes are formed.
It was an enjoyable and engaging week of learning and everyone had great fun becoming 3-D shape experts! 🧊📐
We had an absolutely fantastic time at the Heritage In Schools Road Show at the ATU last Friday. We got to learn about traditional toys made from reeds and made our own Biddy Dolls, we learned about the different types of trees and bushes and played some traditional garden games made from wood. We also got to enjoy a delicious ice-cream to keep our energy up!
We would like to say a huge thank you to Lorna and all The Model staff for facilitating our fantastic visit last week. We got some really interesting insights into their current exhibitions and we even got to create our very own imaginative piece to place in a Cabinet of Curiosity of our very own.
5th Class had lots of fun trying out our golf skills. It turns out we have some budding golfers among us. We are really looking forward to developing these skills further later in the year with Golf Ireland.
