All the children in Room 12 have worked really hard this month and are trying their best to always earn their behavior stamps every single day so as a treat today we had a little Halloween party.

Sadhbh baked some beautiful buns for us. Teacher gave us some treats.

We went on a spooky walk around the track and then around the block! We scared everyone we met!

We tidied up our room and then we listened to our “Spooky Tale” story competition winners – Anna Dempsey, Ruby Crosbie, Ruby Murphy and Abbi Grigorjevaite.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Poor Ms O’Sullivan got an awful fright when she went into Room 5 today  ! Her wonderful pupils were replaced by scary ghosts and ghouls .

We had some Spooky vistors to Ms English’s Class today for Halloween

We have been learning about the 1798 Rebellion in school and we were so lucky to get to take a trip to visit the 1798 Centre, Enniscorthy Castle and also Vinegar Hill.

The two sixth classes set off on Friday 14th October and we had a great day. We learned loads of information about the Rebellion from our tour guides, we explored the castle and we got to try on old fashioned costumes.

Here are some photo’s from our trip!

We have had great fun celebrating Maths Week.

We went out to the astroturf and made all sorts of lines and angles with our bodies!

We did riddles for homework and tomorrow we are going to do a survey of children in other classes and draw a graph to show the results.

After a rigorous application progress, our new Active Schools committee has been chosen! Two children from each class from 3rd – 6th Class are going to be the representatives on the committee.

In our class Abbi and Gabriel were chosen.

Well done Abbi and Gabriel.

We are so proud of you both!

Táimid ag déanamh dráma as Gaeilge.  Táimid sa bhialann!   

Recently our class entered an Art competition where we had to design a poster illustrating the slogan “Exercise is good for you!” The National Association of Physiotherapists ran the competition for all the 4th class children in Wexford town as they are having their special meeting in Wexford this year. We might not have won the overall prize but we did win a runner up prize!

There were lots of great entries with Ruby and Abbi getting a special mention but the overall winner was Alannah! She got a voucher for Sportsavers.

Local physiotherapist Kay Nixon came to our school today to present Alannah with her prize. We were all very proud.

We went on an Autumn walk to Redmond Park. We practiced our Road Safety skills on the way down and our teacher was very proud of our good behaviour.

There are lots of beautiful trees in Redmond Park – oak, sycamore, birch, spruce and fir.

We explored the park and collected lots of different coloured leaves – brown, green, red, yellow and orange.

When we got back to school, we let the leaves dry out on the window sills and a few days after that we make beautiful Autumn tree pictures.

We are all delighted to be back in school and in 6th class.

September was a busy month for us and here’s a sample of what we’ve been up to in room 9.

We created The Food Pyramid as a class.

We drew these beautiful still life drawings of a fruit bowl, we carefully shaded them in using pencil.

In English, we have been creatively writing. We wrote newspaper articles about the Titanic and using tea-stained paper we wrote messages in bottles.

We have also begun working on geography projects. In pairs we chose a country we would like to find out more about, we researched many facts about these countries and we are now in the process of putting our projects together. We will be presenting them to the class soon!

We have lots more exciting things planned and we can’t wait to share them with you all soon.

Keep an eye out for more news from 6th class!

We have great fun on Friday afternoons. Golden Time is a lovely reward for boys and girls who work so hard during the week to earn their stamps.
