Towers- Construction

In January, we were learning about many famous towers from around the world including; the Eiffel Tower, Shanghai Tower, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Space Needle in Seattle and more locally the Round Tower at Kilmacduagh. Using mostly recycled materials, the students designed and created their own towers.

Well done to all on their very creative work!

Hands on Maths 📐

Using hands on resources are a really important part of maths. They help us link maths problems to real life while also broadening our minds to find new ways to solve problems. By using manipulatives such as blocks, matchsticks, cubes, lollipop sticks or drawing on whiteboards, it helps us visualise problems that sometimes are hard to understand!

Ardrahan Mausoleum Trip 📸

Friday was such a fantastic day that the students took a little trip down to the Mausoleum in Ardrahan. Firstly, this involved a little walk in the nice weather 🚶‍♀️☀️ When at the mausoleum the students looked at the different architecture and learned about its history. It is great for the children to learn about their local history as well as history on a wider scale.

Sail Car

Last week, we had visitors to our classroom as some 3rd and 4th class students came to help us make our sail cars. This fitted in great with Science week and also learning about how to take care of the environment. Our aim was to come up with many ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle. At the end of the week, the students participated in Sail Car races.
