2nd Class had fun experimenting with items which can float and sink!

We discovered that they lived in roundhouses, were skilled farmers and warriors, and were talented craftspeople who worked with iron. We also learned how important storytelling, traditions, and art were in Celtic society. The children collaborated in groups to create wonderful projects based on different aspects of Celtic life. It was great to see everyone working togethe

In Fourth Class, we have been learning all about wildlife bridges and crossings. These are special human-made bridges that help animals move safely from one place to another without coming into contact with roads or other busy human infrastructure. They provide animals with a safe way to travel and protect wildlife habitats. Using their STEM skills, the Fourth Class children worked collaboratively to plan, design, and create their own wildlife bridges. They showed great creat

Happy Mother’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day from all of the children in Ms Doherty’s class ☘️

This blog post was written by Jessica in 6th class. The past couple weeks sixth class have been learning about electricity. We have learnt circuits; circuits are circular paths where electricity flows through. In a series circuit the components are connected end to end one after the other. In a parallel circuit the components are connected side by side. We have also been learning about conductors and insulators. A conductor is an object or material where electricity can pass

Ms Doherty’s class have been very busy exploring the wonderful country of Spain! They learned lots of interesting facts and made many connections between Spain and Ireland. They discovered that Spain, like Ireland, is in Europe and also uses the euro as its currency. They found out about delicious traditional foods like paella and explored many Spanish buildings. The children were particularly amazed by the beautiful Sagrada Família and hope to visit it someday! 💛❤️

This week in Ms. Doherty’s room, we got creative and made beautiful heart wreaths to celebrate Valentine’s Day! We used bright colours, fun patterns, and lots of imagination to design their own unique wreaths. We can’t wait to give our special wreaths to someone we love! 💕

Happy Valentine’s Day from Second Class🥰
