We have had a busy week celebrating Literacy week. We entered the door competition with our 'Bookflix' theme, using books that we have read and would like to read soon.
On Wednesday we had a lovely afternoon playing games in the hall, using our oral language skills along the way.
Both our class and Mr Moriarty's class have been learning about World War II in history so we performed a play about the blackout in Ireland during the war, called 'When Ireland was quiet'. We welcomed a big crowd in on Friday to watch our performance.
Our genre of writing for this month is Poetry. We combined writing with art and ICT by typing and printing our haikus and then painting a background to display them. We chose the theme of floods for inspiration!
We were very lucky to have story teller Seosamh visit our school and tell us the story of Fionn Mac Chumhaill through english agus trí Ghaeilge with engaging animation.
To finish off Literacy week, we took a trip to our local library where we listened to some lovely stories told to us by Liz. The standout story had to be 'The Extraordinary Gardiner'. We then visualised the two worlds in the story through art.
