A Very Busy 1st Term
We have had a very busy first term in 1st and 2nd class. We spent time getting to know each other! We got to draw portraits of each other. We are very lucky and get to spend time in the morning solving puzzles and playing games, sometimes the 6th class joins us!
Every Thursday 1st class is joined by the 6th class and the 2nd class goes up to the 5th class and we take part in a Lego challenge! Everybody has so much fun and we have seen such fantastic creations!
Ms. Grant helped us to prepare for our first time holding an assembly and it was great! We worked so hard and learned a friendship poem and drew pictures of all our friends.
We also had to get ready for our first annual Multi-Culture Day! We created a massive jigsaw that had our all countries’ flags in it. We have 18 different cultures in our classroom. It was such an enjoyable day and we cannot wait for the next one.
The whole school took part in our sponsored walk which was to raise money for our new Interactive Board.
Last week was maths week and we had so much fun. We got to try a tricky puzzle every morning and we also joined two webinars for the occasion. We really enjoyed the Table Quiz webinar, over 4,000 different classrooms took part. We hope we win a prize.
Ms. Grant is really brave and gave us each a tin whistle! We are learning so much and practicing really hard. We know our parents are really loving listening to us!
This week has been just as busy as we got to start GAA coaching. We had so much fun with our new coaches.
Sports Day 2023
A very enjoyable sports day took place on the campus this week. Each class participated in three races; sprints, potato and spoon race and sack race. There was lots of laughing and falling down. We then had a parents race and a spontaneous teachers race which was very enjoyable for all… A huge thank you to Ms Gow for organising the events on the day. Also, a thank you to Ms Buggie and her wellbeing committee who organised a bouncy castle and an ice-cream van. Take a look at some of the shots taken on the day.
1st & 2nd Class School Tour
A great day was had by all today in Kilkenny at the National Reptile Zoo and The Play Station.
Check out some photos to see what we got up to!
Fun in the Sun!!
Fun in the Sun
Junior pupils have been enjoying the sunshine recently. We went on a summer hunt exploring the animals and plants that we have on our fabulous campus. We also played in our lovely green area and we have enjoyed creating pictures on the yard with chalk. Everyone is so relaxed, long may the sunshine last.
Mini Monets in the Making
Today we had a lovely afternoon painting ‘en plein air’. We have been learning about Claude Monet and Impressionism. We looked at the light in the school surrounds
yesterday and today we packed up our art materials and headed out to our magnificent school garden (thanks Ms Gow and the Gardening Committee), in an effort to capture it on paper. Everything is lush and green and coming into bloom.The sun shone down upon us and we had a glorious afternoon being creative. Check back soon to see our magnificent works of art.
Relaxing and meditating!
We know how important it is to relax and take time out from the busyness of school. It is good for our well-being. We are learning many different ways to promote and prioritize our well-being in Maryborough. Keep an eye on this page in the coming weeks for some of the wonderful ideas that the pupils on our Well-being Committee have come up with.
