We have been working reallrecy hard on Maths in 5th Class this term. Some of us have answered 2,500 maths questions!!! Our hard work was rewared with a hot chocolate afteroon. 

Well done everyone - Katie 

Have you ever seen our beautiful Fairy Garden that our wonderful parents created for us. We took some time out on Friday to explore and play in the garden. 
-Katie 

We took our learning outside this week. We visited our lovely forest and planted some wildflower seeds to encourage more wildlife like bees and butterflies and to add some more colour. We are hoping our seeds will start to grow in June and stay in bloom until October, so keep an eye out for our flowers when you are walking in the forest.

Ciara Reilly a Lecturer in Education (ICT and Digital Education) at Marino Institute of Education has put together a fantastic resource to support Irish Primary pupils working from home. She lists fantastic tools, apps and websites. We also love the message she included: 

"Don't forget to: play board games, cook up a storm, build with Lego and blocks, garden, look up the family photo albums, clean your room, draw a self-portrait, make and create with junk art, stretch, sing and most importantly, READ!"
