5C really enjoyed making storyboards based on a Irish story which they read in class.
Fifth class have dived right into work this term! We’ve been learning all about place value, addition and subtraction in Maths and working on Mé Féin (myself) as Gaeilge. In English we’ve been working on recount writing and different aspects of English grammar. Have a look at some of our artwork, classroom activities, and 5B starting buddy reading with SIB!
5B have been learning all about Plants this month. We learned about pollination, types of plants, and the parts of a flower. Have a look at our amazing work!

5th class have enjoyed meeting their buddy classes in Senior Infants for Friendship Week! 5A and SIA did buddy reading, 5B and SIB drew portraits of each other, and 5C taught SIC some yard games. So much fun! Bonus: Spot some of 5C in their funky socks for Odd Socks Day!

STEM Week: 5th class did the Elephant toothpaste experiment and had a parent speaker talking about Technical Writing. 5C also made thaumatropes in art, which is a simple form of animation. 5C also built veggie cars where the children had to create cars that rolled out of vegetables and cocktail sticks!
Playdough and toothpick challenge in 5A.We worked with partners to create the tallest structure. Different designs affected the strength, height, and the stability of the towers. This challenge helped us with our engineering, problem solving and team work skills.
