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!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ALL AT 5TH CLASS (A).

We are delighted to be back at school and we are READY for this new DECADE. 

We all had a lovely Christmas and we have been enjoying our first week back. 

Here is a snippet of what we have been up to since we returned off our holidays. 

We are enjoying getting active in our class this week, we are really enjoying engaging with some extra 'Go Noodle' sessions to get us back into the swing of exercising again after the Christmas break. 

Drama, drama, drama!

We had great fun this week creating a drama based on 'lodging a complaint' in a restaurant. We are all such great actors..... Watch out HOLLYWOOD!!

Our Art this week is based on the 'New Year, new ME' theme. We created our own NEW YEAR, NEW ME portraits, but with a twist..... Take a look. 

We had great fun creating these portraits.   

It's been a very very busy few weeks in 5th class (A).

Here is a snippet of what we have got up to.

Firstly we had great fun making banners of our slogan for our 'Active School'. We really enjoyed brainstorming some ideas for the 'Active Schools' slogan. 

This week we are participating in the '12 days of Fitmas' as part of our Active Schools. We are really enjoying getting ACTIVE in 5th class. 

We also had a very special religion visitor in our class this month. We really enjoyed listening to his stories and we thank him for sharing these stories with us. 

It's the most wonderful time of the year and we are really getting into the Christmas Spirit. We are rehearsing for our 'Christmas Play' and singing our hearts out to all the 'Christmas Songs and Carols'. We are really looking forward to performing, Stay tuned for pictures of our performance, we think ye will love it!

Despite this busy time, we found some time to decorate our Classroom Door. 

'Take a sELFie'

We had another very bust week in 5th class A.

In History this week we were learning about life in 'Medieval Ireland'. We are currently researching this topic and next week we will be doing projects based on this topic. So far we are finding it very interesting!

Stay tuned to our blog to see our FINAL PROJECT.

We are currently preparing for our 'Active Break Week' and engaging with all things ' Active Flag'.

In Art this week, we created our 'Active School Slogan Posters'. We had great fun brainstorming our slogan ideas and creating our posters. 

We are really looking forward to our 'Active Break Week', after all, 'We're not lazy, we love to be actively crazy'. 

This week in 5th class.

We were very busy rehearsing for our performance of the 'Cup Song' at assembly. 

Well done everyone is 5th class you all performed so well, ye were super!

During Art last week, we were feeling very autumnal. We designed our own 'Autumn Trees'. We created our 'Autumn Trees' using a cotton bud, paint brush and some beautiful Autumn coloured paint. They look great right?

We really enjoyed Golden time this week, we deserved the break after all our hard work all week!
