December was a jam packed month. We spent a good bit of time on our Christmas Door for the door competition. The class loved making our Gingerbread House. We practiced Christmas carols. The kids also baked and decorated gingerbread men which they enjoyed eating.
We had a fun November in 5th class. We done football with Dave for a few weeks. The class made lovely Snowmen at night for art. The kids also contributed money to make up two shoe boxes for the Shoe box appeal organised by Ms.Cusack. We began work on our Christmas Door for the Christmas Door competition.
We had a very busy October in 5th class. We went rock climbing at the Dublin rock climbing centre. The class loved it and are eager for another trip there. 6th class organised a maths quiz for maths week which the class enjoyed taking part in. We also done a fun experiment in science where we looked a magnetism. We created ghosts and used magnets to make them float in the air. We also created Halloween characters in art using old lollipop sticks. To end the month and celebrate Halloween we got dressed up and went on our annual Halloween walk.
We spent a while getting use to being one big class. We played ice breaker games to get to know each other better. We learnt about volcanoes in Geography. We built volcanoes in art. In science we learnt about the reaction between an alkaline (baking soda) and an acid (vinegar). We used our volcanoes to test this reaction which created a volcanic eruption. We performed the experiment in front of the school in assembly.

We had 2 teams participate in the Credit Union quiz this year. A 6th class team and mixed 5th and 6th. All the schools in Ballyfermot and Inchicore areas took part.
Our 6th class team, Aleksander, Julian, Michael and Levi, came in 3rd place. This was a fantastic result and the best result we have had in a long time. We'll done to all🎉
There is a great buzz around the school this week as teachers and children get their classroom doors ready for a competition.
We are decorating our doors and it will be judged by Ms. Hanly Tony and an independent adjudicator from Brokke and Delap.
May the best door win 😁
