St. Brigid’s day

On 1st February, we celebrated St. Brigid’s day. We worked with a partner to make a St. Brigid’s cross from paper. We really enjoyed this challenge and were delighted with our completed crosses.

Fun with Fifth!

This year we are working very hard towards our Active Schools Flag. In 2nd Class A, we have been making an extra special effort to get active and moving! Every Tuesday, students in fifth class have been coming to our playground at break time to teach us some new games. Our favourite game so far is Red Light Green Light and we look forward to learning more in the weeks ahead!

Chinese lanterns

In English, we have been reading all about the Chinese Lantern Festival. We learned that this festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year Festival. At the end of the festival the lanterns are taken down which marks the start of spring. In Art, we had great fun designing and making our own Chinese lanterns.

Marine Biodiversity 🐋🐟🐙🦑

We really enjoyed our guest speaker Mairead O’Donovan from Explorers Education Programme.

Cooking Competition!

We have a great class of Masterchefs! We cooked up some savoury dishes this month and we absolutely loved this challenge. Again, to prepare we wrote up our recipe first. We have learned so much from this experience and we hope to do more cooking ourselves. We would like to thank Mr. Colreavy and Margaret for judging and giving us the opportunity to participate in this initiative.

September and October in Crann Darach

We had a busy first half-term.

In September, we welcomed a lovely new Junior Infant student to our class.  We are having so much fun getting to know her and showing her all of our class routines.

The highlight of our first 2 months back at school was when our 3rd class students made their First Confession and First Holy Communion.   Thanks to Fr. Pat, Ms. Muldoon and our parents who helped with our participation in the sacraments and made the day so special for us all.

We had a great time at Gaelic training with Pat Kilcoyne – our ball skills are really improving!
