Halloween Baking
During the week, our class got the chance to bake cookies ahead of the Halloween break. The students really enjoyed the the opportunity to try baking with Nancy, especially when allowed to add their own choice of toppings!
Maths Week
They also completed an exercise on finding the lines of symmetry of capital letters in the alphabet. The class really enjoyed the hands on approach to these topics, as they were very active in leading their own learning & engagement.

Relay Takeover
Active School is a national body that works in primary and post-primary schools to promote physical activities for wellbeing across all class levels. They promote a number of events for schools to engage in throughout the course of the school year. Last Friday, the focus was on a “Relay Takeover” after the successes of both the mixed and women’s national relay teams this year.
Each class was allocated a time slot on the astroturf over the course of the day and they were able to make use of the different equipment available to them. Classes used beanbags, quoits and batons for their class relays and they were allowed an opportunity to practice the skills, techniques, communication and team work necessary to participate in this event.
The pupils enjoyed their active day and are already looking forward to the next event!
Trip to the Europe Hotel Playground
During the fine spell of weather in September, we walked to the Europe Hotel to visit their playground. The staff were very kind & accommodating, and even introduced the class to a 30 year old pony named Sarah!
