Fifth and sixth class have been working hard in all areas this year and especially in relation to the new Primary Language Curriculum. We have put huge emphasis on using the Irish language informally (Gaeilge néamhfhoirmiúl) throughout the school day in our room. We have a new 'Word of the Day' and a new 'Focal an Lae' every day to improve and widen our vocabulary in both languages. Below are some examples of the new Language curriculum at work in our room, including a 'Word Bank' and a 'Stór Focal' for any new vocabulary we meet throughout the school day.[/vc_column_text][us_gallery ids="5608,5607,5606,5605,5604" columns="6"][vc_column_text]
Science Week 2019
Science Week 2019 took place from 11th to 15th of November 2019 in Kilbride NS. The boys and girls in 5th and 6th class have been preparing for this week since September. They worked very hard in groups on a scientific project as part of the Intel Mini Scientist Competition. A judge from Intel came to Kilbride on Tuesday 12th of November to judge the entrants. The results were:
3rd place: Electrical Conductivity
2nd place: How plastic affects the environment?
1st place: Bees and Honey
Congratulations to the winners and to all the boys and girls on their fantastic projects!
World Mental Health Day
To celebrate World Mental Health Day on Thursday October 10th 2019, the children in 5th and 6th class enjoyed a day of wearing their own comfortable clothes to school, they had no writing homework and they were encouraged to reduce screen-time usage for this day. They also enjoyed playing board games together in the afternoon. A great day celebrating our well-being was had by all!
