Last Thursday ( 28th January) the three Junior Infant classes went to the library with their parents.
It was a super day.
Ms. Grace's 5th Class
We looked at the topic of The Normans in History and we presented amazing projects to our teacher. She was so impressed that she could not decide which one was the best. Ms Kelly next door kindly agreed to help her choose the winning projects and as a result lots of us ended up with little prizes to highlight our hard work.
We are also working hard on our Tin Whistle. We managed to learn three new songs for the Christmas Carol Service. We intend to keep up our hard work with Music.
Hopefully we will carry out many more fun activities in class in the coming weeks and months and we will keep everybody posted on our School Website.

We enjoy our Art Lessons and at Christmas we spent a day making Sock Snowmen. Although we all used rice and white socks, we all ended up with totally unique Sock Snowmen as we used different materials and buttons to decorate them.
Earlier in the school year we decided to decorate the wall area outside our classroom with a large display. We each drew a flower and coloured it in with Oil Pastels. Brigid cut each of the flowers out and put them all together to create our very own class vase. Our inspiration came from Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh. Personally, we think ours is even better than the original!

Hi and welcome to Ms Grace’s 5th class.
We work very hard in English, Gaeilge and Maths each day, we also like to carry out experiments in Science. We usually work in small groups to carry out our experiments. At the start of the school year we looked at the topic of Living Things. We planted daffodils in different shape containers, so daffodil planting also involved a small bit of Maths as we looked closely at the shapes of the containers that we used. Our daffodil bulbs have recently begun to grow outside our classroom window which is super news.
We enjoyed making Lava Lamps when we looked at the topic of Materials in Science. It was great to see the Lava Lamps erupting each time we popped an effervescent tablet into the water, oil and food colouring solution. Next time, we must ALL remember to wear our gloves during any experiment that involves food colouring!!!
