Happy Mother's Day from all the boys in sixth class. Have a wonderful weekend!!

To celebrate engineers week, our class was invited to C.I.T. last Friday the 10th of March for a presentation on the Bloodhound project, a supersonic car. It was a fascinating morning in C.I.T. and we even managed to bag some goodies!!

This term, we are focusing on procedural writing as our writing genre in English. Miss O'Sullivan decided to put our skills to the test this week! First we borrowed Junior infants Lego and made different houses and cars, we then had write down the exact steps of how to recreate what we had made, Later this week we are swapping copies with each other to see can we replicate each others designs with our detailed instructions!!! 

We have been celebrating and learning about the Chinese New Year and China for the last month.
