This week , we started the Healthy Heroes Lunch Club. Children from First, Second, Fifth and Sixth Class were chosen to be on the committee and will visit classes of Junior Infants, Senior Infants, Third and Fourth Class during lunch time to encourage healthy eating.

Children in Fifth Class are celebrating Maths week with a wide range of activities. Last week, we started Maths Week with a Zoom of Izak9 cubes. We also studied the artist Kandinsky’s and used his art piece ‘Concentric Circles’ as a stimulus for our Scary Trees.

This week, we focused on problem solving using daily problems, solving different problems each day. We participated in the Mega Maths Quiz on Tuesday, working together to solve eight problems which were communicated through Zoom. On Wednesday, we completed a session on Scratch, creating a code based on 2D shapes.
