We really enjoyed their stories and we learned so much.
On the 28th of January some 5th class boys and girls went to visit the ‘Jeanie Johnston’ ship on Dublin’s Quays of the River Liffey.
We were learning all about the Great Irish Famine in history class. We went into Dublin City Centre and went onto the ship. We learned all about how people travelled on the ship back in 1845 while trying to escape the Famine in Ireland.
It was really interesting to learn all about life aboard the ship. We went to see the Famine statues on the Quays too.
We also went to Grand Canal Dock and did some sketching of the beautiful scenery and played in a really cool playground.
It was a really great day!!
The boys and girls in Room 15 are working with Ken from Leinster Rugby to learn new rugby skills.

Room 2 had lots of fun learning about sound.
We learned that the thickness and tightness of elastic bands changed the pitch.
We enjoyed making different high and low sounds. Science is fun.
We were very lucky to have the author Alan Nolan come to our classroom.
He wrote many books including ‘Fintan’s fifteen’
He really inspired us to write and to create some characters of our own.
Mouse, a wildlife expert brought a hedgehog into class as part of the OWLS programme. He was so cute.
We even got to hold him!
The boys and girls were answering questions in a different way today.
They were sending their answers to the interactive whiteboard using their own personal voting pods.
It was a great way to answer some questions on our class novel ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’
