This week in Creativity in the Classroom with Deirdre, students explored the world of 3D art and imagination! Using clay, we learned how to shape and combine basic 3-dimensional forms-like spheres, cylinders, and cubes to bring our ideas to life.
By the end of the session, our classroom was full of colourful, clay animals of all kinds, each one unique and full of personality. From elephants and giraffes to imaginary creatures and dinosaurs , everyone showed amazing creativity and teamwork.
It was a fantastic start to our creativity journey, and we can’t wait to see what we’ll make next!
We had great fun celebrating Halloween in 4th class. We used our imaginations writing Halloween themed procedural writing and looked at the history of Halloween. For music, we chose an Halloween theme and used percussion instruments to recreate that scene, such as a haunted house. Our Halloween walk was a great success. We enjoyed showing off our costumes on our walk around Inchicore.
This week in our classroom, we’ve been working on procedural writing- learning how to write clear, step-by-step instructions. To make it extra fun (and just in time for Halloween!), we created gooey slime!
Students brainstormed the materials, wrote detailed steps, and then tested their own “procedures” in real life. We learned how important it is to use bossy verbs at the start of each of the steps to give precise instructions so that anyone could follow along.
The classroom was full of excitement (and a few giggles) as our writers turned into scientists!
We had great fun in 2nd class for Maths week. We created our own board games in pairs, brainstorming ideas first and then designing the game. There was lots of excitement in the room when we got to explain our games and play them!
6th class played Maths games with us in the hall and this was a real hit with 2nd class. We really enjoyed learning new games and interacting with 6th class.
We also enjoyed maths4fun this week with board games and interactive games and writing in our Maths journals.
We also got to try out our new game room for golden time. We had funny puppet shows, drawing stations and kinetic sand stations. Everyone had great fun and really enjoyed it!
4th class got the chance to try out our new playroom for the senior children in the school. We had a wonderful afternoon getting creative with the kinetic sand and playdough and building our team work skills playing card games and giant connect 4.
Last Friday, 4th Class took on the big job of hosting and presenting the Senior Assembly and they did a fantastic job! The pupils showed off their public speaking skills as they stood up in front of a large crowd of students and teachers. They spoke clearly, confidently, and kept everyone engaged from start to finish.
Well done to all of 4th Class for their hard work and teamwork in preparing for the assembly. You should all be very proud of yourselves!
This week, 4th Class have been learning all about gravity and the centre of gravity. We had great fun putting our learning into action by making our own simple seesaws to test how gravity works and how balance affects movement. The class did a fantastic job experimenting and predicting what would happen. We have some very impressive scientists in the making!
First few weeks in Junior infants
We've had a very busy few weeks in Junior infants. We have been having a great time making new friends and learning all about the school rules. Junior infants have been working so hard completing patterns in maths as well as learning all about Autumn. Last week we went on our beep beep walk where we learned all about how to cross the road safely. The walk was a big success and thoroughly enjoyed by all!
