Rugby Training
Matt Brown from Munster Rugby is providing three rugby sessions to Fifth and Sixth Classes. Last Wednesday was the first day of it. The boys and girls in both classes really enjoyed the sessions.
Jumping for joy
Children in Fifth Class practised their jumping skills using a variety of activities. Children worked in groups at different stations for the lesson. Children enjoyed the activities.
Lego: Building a Rocket
Children in Fifth Class used Lego to design and build a rocket. Inspiration was gained from the experiment carried out where they designed, made and launched a rocket using paper.

Science Experiment:Design and Make a Rocket
Children in Fifth Class worked together in groups to design and make rockets. Groups launched the rockets afterwards and we measured the distance of their landing. Children enjoyed this experiment and completed an experiment sheet based on it.
Gaeilge: Mé Féin agus Mo Chlann
Children in Fifth Class focused on ‘Mé Féin’ in Irish this month. Children wrote a piece describing themselves and their families. Children can also speak about this topic in Irish.
Researching Skills
This month, children in Fifth Class are learning about a number of famous people who have overcome disability to succeed. Children were given the task to research other famous people who have overcame disability and succeeded. And this week, all of the children researched Michael J. Fox and completed a ‘Research Map’ which will help them to write a report on Michael J. Fox. Children worked together to complete this activity.
Abstract Art : Op Art
Children in Fifth Class explored the skills of form, colour and tone through Abstract Art. This is coined ‘Op Art’. Children learned about the works of Bridget Louise Riley, Maurits Cornelis Escher, Akiyoshi Kitaoka and Victor Vasarely.
PE: Tennis
Children in Fifth Class were practising and developing their throwing and hitting skills today. Children worked in groups of four and groups of two. Children enjoyed practising these skills through the game of tennis.
