It has been a very busy and enjoyable time in Fifth Class Red, with lots of learning, activity, and new experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
We have been continuing our work as part of the Dream Space Ambassador Programme, where the class has been developing their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills. The students have shown great enthusiasm while exploring different ideas and working together on exciting digital and STEM challenges. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they take on new roles as ambassadors within the school. We also had great fun celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge. The class made a fantastic effort to embrace Gaeilge throughout the week, using Irish in conversations, games and activities. Bhí an-spraoi againn! It was lovely to hear so much Irish being spoken around the classroom and to see the students encouraging each other to give it a go. Sport has also been a big highlight recently. The class has been enjoying athletics during PE, practising different running, jumping and throwing skills while building fitness and teamwork. Our swimming lessons have continued as well, with everyone making excellent progress in the water and showing great determination. A number of students also took part in the Santry athletics tryouts, representing the class with great effort and enthusiasm. We are very proud of the way they gave their best and supported each other. Overall, it has been a fantastic few weeks in Fifth Class Red. The students continue to work hard, support one another and make the most of every opportunity that comes their way. We are looking forward to many more exciting activities and learning experiences in the weeks ahead!

Our 5th Class are very excited to be taking part in the Microsoft DreamSpace Ambassador Programme this year! We will be exploring digital creativity, learning new technology skills and discovering how innovation can help solve real-world problems. We can’t wait to get started on our projects and share our learning journey with you all!
Ukulele Lessons: 4th class Red have really enjoyed Ukulele lessons with Karen this term. They learned lots of new chords including C, Am, G and F. They loved playing a range of songs in class including APT, Riptide, Waka Waka and Thunderstruck. The children were really engaged and enjoyed the lessons immensely. Thank you Karen! Dublin Zoo School Trip: 4th class Red went on their school tour to Dublin Zoo this term. They learned about lots of animals, took part in a rainforest ranger workshop and explored the new dinosaur exhibition. It was a great day and the children had lots of fun. Sports Day: Well done to all the children in 4th class Red who showed amazing sportsmanship and team spirit during the Esker Sports Day at Lucan Harriers. It was great to see so many parents on the day also. The children had a great day out and had lots of fun. Well done everyone! Teach the Teacher Presentations: 4th class Red took part in some very exciting presentations this term, where each child got a chance to teach a lesson of their choice. We had such a variety of creative lessons and activities, including baking, sport, crochet, crafts, drama and so much more. I really loved seeing the children teach about their interests and share their talents with the class. Huge well done to everyone who took part and a big thank you to all the adults at home who helped prepare slideshows, activities and materials. It was definitely one of the highlights of the year! Drumming Workshop: The children took part in an amazing drumming workshop this term with Ruaile Buaile. The children practiced keeping rhythm and beat on a range of different drums. It was such an exciting lesson and the children loved it.  4th Class Red had a brilliant time celebrating World Book Day on the 6th of March. The class enjoyed Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) time, a book themed table quiz as well as lots of fun book inspired Art.
Mighty Oaks: 4th Class Red have been taking part in the Mighty Oaks Public Speaking programme and have been learning all the necessary skills needed in order to be a good storyteller. The children have been really enjoying writing and telling stories.  Say Yes to Languages: The children have been taking part in Spanish classes with Marie Terese this term as part of the ‘Say Yes to Languages’ programme. The children have enjoyed hands-on Spanish activities and have been learning useful Spanish phrases.
This year at the beginning of October the students in 3rd class took part in a construction project. Their challenge was to think of new facilities that they would like to see in Lucan and the surrounding areas. They then had to plan and construct a new building that they think children would enjoy.      During Maths Week, which took place in our school from the 17th-21st October, we were very lucky to receive our brand new maths packs! Linda organised this for us and we were delighted to have our parents come into school one morning to play some maths games with us. We had so much fun! There are lots of things included in our pack including a hundred square, snakes and ladders, counters, dice, a deck of cards and maths vocabulary! Every Thursday we have our maths pack for homework and we get to choose a game to play with a family member at home. Welcome to 2nd Class Red's class blog! We hope you enjoy having a look at what's happening in our busy classroom :)
Our Aistear theme in September was 'The Birthday Party'. We set up party food in our role play area. We played party games like pin the tail on the donkey, memory match and snap. We were learning the months of the year by singing a song. We wrote party invitations and borthday cards. We had so much fun! |
