A snippet from PE class 😄

The boys worked so hard on these Ancient Egypt projects. Here they are pictured after making their presentations to the class. 

One of my favourite 3rd Class art projects. Rainbow Fish, under way! Watch this space 😄

Footballers back from their first ever blitz representing SSNB in Parc Uí Chaoimh last Wednesday. All delighted with their day out! 

Some snaps of our Easter Egg hunt and Easter Art activity today! 
 

Enjoy the break everyone! 

Some lovely costumes today for World BookDay. Well done boys!!

This was a multi-step project that we did as part of our unit on print this month.

We made our printing squares, painted our background page and then completed the printing process. The boys did a fantastic job 👍😀

Activity 1: exploring multiplication and division using arrays.

The boys had to represent a given equation by placing the correct amount of counters across and down in a grid formation. This is a great activity for laying the foundations for area and perimeter too! 

Activity 2: Science Experiment- “keep the spaghetti warm“

Here we investigated which materials would be best to insulate a paper cup to keep  spaghetti warm. They loved it! 

We started out unit on Print in January. The boys are loving it! 

Well, what can we say? We had a ball performing over the part three days. The boys did amazingly! All the weeks of practice paid off. 
We were extremely proud. We definitely have some budding actors amongst us! 
 

🤩🤩🤩

This one of my favourite art projects in the year. The boys did a wonderful job. We used oil pastels to give the impression of a close up of a Christmas tree. The boys learned how to blend colours and give the effect of light and shade using white and black pastels. 

We were lucky enough to be invited to watch the preschool’s Christmas concert last week. The boys were so impressed with the small boys and girls and I was so proud to see how encouraging and kind they were. 
A beautiful start to the festivities!! 
🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻🎄

Today we began our unit on division. This is the first time the boys will have formally come across division. 
They enjoyed getting familiar with the basic idea of division as sharing. 
They really enjoyed this activity and are off to a good start with this concept.

Amazing turnout today for Halloween! Well done to all 👏👏👏.

Have a lovely week off,

Ms Miller 

Today we went for a nature walk to observe some of the changes happing around us during Autumn. The boys ticked off their observations as we saw them.

Afterwards, we did sone autumn leaf rubbings in the classroom. 
 

🍃 🍁 🍂 

The boys had great fun playing “head, toes, cone” and “air hockey” during PE last Friday. We had some serious competition!  

Today we played some Maths games in pairs and small groups. 

We’ve been spending some time on drawing techniques recently during class. The boys have learned how to sketch and how to shade. 
They produced some lovely self-portraits. Well done boys!

The boys have been loving their PE classes on Thursdays. Always a firm favourite time of day! 

The boys completed this fun STEAM activity on their first day back this year. 
They needed to work together in order to stack the plates and cups as high as possible. Nail biting stuff! 

The boys deserved a well earned treat today! 
They finally reached their target of 50 marbles into the Kindness Jar. Just in time too! 

Bouncy Castles in school. What a treat!

The boys had fun during this practical activity last week! 

We just finished a very competitive chess tournament here in 3rd Class! 
 

Congratulations to Mill Murray who was our winner! Big congratulations also to Fint in 2nd place and Ethan in 3rd! 🎉

A few snaps from a hurling blitz we attended in Parc Uí Chaoimh recently.

The boys were lucky enough to get a guided tour of the stadium afterward. Great day had by all! 

Happy pizza faces all round! 
Big thanks to the student council for this treat. 🤗

The boys have loved getting to read with the small boys and girls from the preschool. We‘ve visited three times and the boys have impressed me with the level of maturity and patience they have shown. 
A very beneficial activity, for the big kids and the small ones!  

What a day we had at “Let’s Go!” The boys really enjoyed themselves! 

The boys made some fantastic creations using clay last week. 
They started by making a pinch pot and transformed this into a monster by adding extra detail. Scary! 

Our chess tournament is off to a flying start! 

The boys did a wonderful job on their Egyptians projects! 

Well done to them and thank you for the support you gave at home on this. 
 

Here they are pictured taking some time to appreciate each other‘s work. 

The boys were so excited to participate in an Easter Egg hunt on the last day of term. 
They were split into teams and needed to find eggs wrapped in their team‘s colour. 
To say they were delighted with the activity is ah understatement! 
 

Big thank you to the preschool for allowing us to do this in their lovely playground area. 🤗
