Beebots- Coding πŸ€– 🐝

 The excitement levels were extremely high this week as we tried out coding for the first time in the classroom. In groups, the students gave each other coding challenges to get the bees to go for one spot to the other. 

This involving lots of trial and error, planning and problem solving. We look forward to honing our skills with the bee bots again soon!

Art- Salmon of Knowledge 🐟

 When learning about the famous landmarks of Ireland, we came across many myths and legends attached to them. The students particularly enjoyed the myth of the Giants Causeway and the Salmon of Knowledge. In art, the students created their own Salmon of Knowledge! 🐟 First, the students painted on bubble wrap and printed it onto the card. This created a water effect. The students then designed the fish and used other materials to add more detail to their work.  

Ardrahan Mausoleum Trip πŸ“Έ

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.

Hands on Maths πŸ“

 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!
