We are a class of 16 hardworking girls in 5th Class. Our teacher is Ms. Brennan and Janette is our SNA. We are looking forward to a great year! We love learning together and working as a team!
The girls in Fifth Class have had a very exciting and busy Term 1. Here is some of what we got up to:
We started the year by learning how to write a great recount in English. We also began our first class novel “The Boy At The Back Of The Class”, and the girls cannot wait to see how it will end.
In Irish we looked at “Mé Féin”, “Sa Bhaile” and “Ar Scoil”. The girls have learned lots of new vocab and phrases and they have had lots of fun playing word games like bingo and cluiche POP.
In Maths we created our own surveys and made various types of graphs to show the results, we learned how to do long multiplication through an escape room and have started to look at fractions.
In SESE we learned what homes were like in the past, the Bronze Age and how heat travels through the processes of conduction, convection and radiation. The girls became wonderful scientists while working on their Mini Scientist projects and did fantastic when presenting them to the judge.
Throughout December we did lots of different Christmas Advent activities each morning. These included playing Christmas bingo, charades and Pictionary. We also designed and wrote Christmas cards for people in a nursing home and learned a dance to the song “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”.
We also researched how different countries around the world, like Germany, Peru, Spain, Brazil, and the Philippines, celebrated Christmas. It was very interesting discovering all the different traditions and customs.
This term the girls have loved thinking outside the box with their drawings. They have also completed lots of lovely art, including some sunset silhouettes, Fa-BOO-lous Ghosts, zentangles inspired by the artist Charles Lee, close ups of animal prints, colourful Christmas trees and drawings inspired by Christmas songs.
This is just a small glance into what we got up to this Term. We cannot wait to see what fun things we get up to next!
