With January coming to a close, here is a quick look at how busy we have been over the past few weeks in 5th Class (A).

Christopher Columbus was the explorer we choose for our project work this month. We really enjoyed investigating and learning about him and all he achieved in his short life. Well done to all the children on the fantastic job they did on their projects, they are EXCELLENT. We also had great fun presenting them to the class, take a look!

We were so delighted to be invited to be in the audience for the Merlin College production of the 'Wizard of Oz'. WOW what a show, we loved every minute of the musical and we would like to thank Merlin College for asking us to attend. 

As part of our Active School campaign, we were focusing on getting fit this January. The first two weeks of January we learned some really cool dance moves and dances. The second two weeks, Joe Wicks 'The Body Coach' was in our classroom (via video link), we really loved his eight minute workouts and it was fun to be working out alongside our friends. 

In Science we were learning about the Amazing Human Body and  'Digestive System'. On Wednesday last we carried out an experiment to see how the Human Digestive System works. We need a plastic bag, some food, a tight, a paper cup and a bowl for this experiment. We saw how food is digested using these simple everyday items. Some of us loved this experiment, it was gooey, slimy and great fun! 

Finally we had a visitor from the Greens Schools, Tiernan played a game of ' Who wants to be a Millionaire' based on the Green Schools theme. We would like to thank him for the visit and all the great prizes he had for us!
