This spelling game is a firm favourite of the class. They take turns spelling out the letters of their weekly spelling words followed by the words ”buzz” and “off”. The unlucky student who gives the wrong letter or comes after “off” is eliminated.
A high pressure game!
The boys are absolutely loving the songs for our upcoming play!
Let‘s hope it all comes together on the day.
Its safe to say they are enjoying the process!
Each unit in our Irish scheme has comhrá (conversation) sections in which the boys have the chance to act out the language we’re working on in a more realistic and engaging way.
Here they are pictured working on one such dramas.
As part of science week we did a little work on electrical circuits. The boys were challenged to complete the circuit in order to make their light bulb light. We had success!
Always a popular activity!
That time of year! I think it’s safe to say the boys enjoyed spooky season in school!
As part of our unit on The Stone Age, the boys worked on projects. They did them in small groups and put together some lovely presentation!
This was their first project so they were given lots of guidance for this attempt.
What a lovely job they did!
What a great day we had at the Sciath na Scol final. That lads were so thrilled to cheer on our 5th and 6th class boys as they sailed to victory in the final.
Well done to all involved! a fantastic day for the school!
The boys were thrilled to have two scientists visit the class recently. They were taught how to make three different types of paper plane and were delighted to have the chance to fly them in turns.
Great excitement!!
A fun maths activity in which the boys had to work as a team to fit shapes together with no spaces.
The boys were learning about parallel lines and right angles recently during Maths. In the pictures they are playing a simple partner game in which they need to match up lines. Also pictures are the boys using their copies to find right angles around the classroom.
Last week the boys learned about the technique of pointillism during art class.
We used paint in autumnal colours to create some beautiful effects with cotton buds on black paper. The boys loved this one!
Today the boys started the Food Dudes programme.
They happily tried out carrots sticks and apple slices. We’ll be continuing with this challenge over the coming days.

The boys were challenged to make the tallest tower they could using just dry spaghetti and marshmallows. A challenge, but one they enjoyed!
The boys were delighted with their ice creams on their first day back in school. Not a bad way to ease back in!

Special mentions to our winner Rudi Styles and to our runners run: Alex Murphy (2nd), Jack Duggan (3rd) and Sam Twomey (4th.
Well done boys!!
The boys had a fantastic few days on their last full week of school.. On Thursday they had their soccer day in Bishopstown GAA where they were thrilled to get an ice cream. On Friday we had our school tour. Great day had by all!
Over the last few weeks, the boys were thrilled to take part in a “Buddy Reading” scheme with the preschool.
It was heartwarming to see how kind and nurturing the boys could be. They treated the small kids so nicely.
Both small kids and big kids were delighted with they time they got to spend together. All-round a lovely experience!
Thank you to Sinead and Nikki from the preschool for their help.
We‘ve been doing a bit of gymnastics over the past few weeks in PE. The boys have been doing great!
They‘ve learned how to do pencil and forward rolls, one foot stands, bridges, crabs and shoulder stands 😃.
Fair play boys!!
Happy St. Patrick’s day from 3rd class. Enjoy the long weekend! 😁☘️
The boys really enjoyed their Science lesson on light with Ms. O‘Sullivan this morning.
They learned about light, photosynthesis and were introduced to the terms opaque, translucent and transparent.
Great fun and lots of learning today during our Cycle Right course today!
This will continue each Wednesday for the rest of March.
The boys enjoying percussion instruments during music class today!
The boys have been loving our new “maths games” slot each day.
We finally finished our Rainbow Fish project and I think you’ll agree that the boys did a wonderful job. Their work looks beautiful up on the wall.
Some time ago, the boys worked on two pieces in the style of artists Romero Britto and James Rizzi.
The boys spent quite a while making sure every detail was attended to in this art work.
The boys recently worked on a story in Ready to Go called The Rainbow Fish.
We are now working on an art project to go along with the story. The boys are really enjoying the process.
This was a very simple but very effective art activity. The boys did a wonderful job!

The boys really enjoyed their orienteering trip to Murphy’s Farm today. We were blessed with some fine weather after a very wet morning. The boys teamed up into groups of 4 or 5 and tore around the course in no time. Well done to all!
The boys worked so hard on their artwork for the First Communion. Lots of patience was needed for this one! Well done boys. It looks great! 🤩

We went to Murphy's Farm on Tuesday to play a little bit of kickball and soccer! We had great fun!
We accepted a huge challenge at the beginning of May and agreed to run a full marathon in just 15 days! The weather wasn't always on our side, but we made up the kms on the sunny days. We had an inspirational video call with Olympic Champion Rob Heffernan halfway through to keep us motivated.
Well done to everyone, a very impressive achievement!!
We loved walking to the GAA pitch and competing in our Class League in May! It was very competitive but also lots of fun! We then moved onto an Interclass League this month and gave the 4th Class boys a run for their money!!
Santa came to visit us last week and we went to see him in his grotto! Safe to say we are all on his 'Nice List' in this year!!
Merry Christmas to all our 3rd Class friends and families!
See you in 2021!
