We’ve had a great year so far, the boys have worked so hard and we performed two fantastic shows for all the parents to see over the last two days. Our show was the story of ‘The Pied Piper’ with some songs from the popular film ‘The Greatest Showman’. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and safe New Year from everyone in Ms. Ahern’s 3rd Class. 

On the 22nd of November we visited U.C.C. for a guided tour of the Aula Maxima, the Honan Chapel, the Quad and the Crawford Observatory. This tour proved to be a great hit with the boys and everyone learned lots from the trip. The boys were given gowns to wear throughout the trip which made us feel part of the college. We were taught about the history of the university by our tour guides, who were very informative, and we were even shown inside a 'Bothán'. This fantastic tour finished up with a junior conferring ceremony, a scroll and some goodies for all. We had a very enjoyable day and hopefully the boys will remember this trip in years to come when they are wearing their own graduation gowns!! 

We have had a very busy year to date in 3rd class. The boys have been working very hard in all subjects but have produced some wonderful pieces of art. In geography and science we have looked at different buildings and bridges. The boys did some home based research on a bridge of choice. We then used warm and cold colours to create a sea and sunset painting where they carefully drew on a bridge. They are fabulous pieces of work!! We looked at paintings of buildings by James Rizzi and recreated these also. They have taken pride of place outside our classroom over the last few weeks and have been catching the eye of lots of other people in the school. These aren't just any ordinary buildings!!! Well done boys!!!  

A big thank you to Mr. Carroll and the parents who attended the Cork City v Sligo Rovers match with 3rd class last night. They had a wonderful time cheering Cork City on!

Great excitement in our classroom today when we had a visit from Cork City player Shane Griffin! Congratulations to James on his win!

A fantastic effort made by 3rd class on their Stone Age projects. Well done to all!

We have been learning about Egypt in 3rd Class!!
