Fourth Class put their STEM and problem-solving skills to the test as they worked together to design and build exciting creations using LEGO SPIKE. Collaborating in teams, the children used their creativity and coding knowledge to bring their models to life and make them move. They produced some very impressive creations!

Fourth Class became county experts as each student chose an Irish county to research and explore in detail. They discovered fascinating facts about landmarks, history, culture, sport, and geography before presenting their findings on beautifully designed posters. Their fantastic work is now proudly on display for everyone to enjoy!

Henri Rousseau was a French artist who was best known for his jungle paintings. 2nd Class loved creating one of his famous scenes. Can you spot some of our hidden tigers?! 🐯

2nd Class learned about translations, rotations and reflections in Maths. We created these beautiful sun rotating pictures by turning triangles on a page. We hope our pictures will bring some bright and sunny weather🌻☀️

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
