High Lane Gallery Tour with Room 13

This week Room 13 got to take a virtual tour of the Hugh Lane gallery. We learned about the history of the gallery and even about Hugh Lane. We learned about a lot of different artists, their works, and what an artists studio looks like. One artist in particular made our tummy’s rumble – Francis Bacon. 🥓 Thank you to Jane @TheHughLane for such a great virtual workshop!

Spellings in Room 5

We were busy in the computer room working on Spellings For Me this week.

The spellings are getting more challenging but we are really enjoying using the programme!

 

Room 13 become mathematic mind readers

Room 13 became Mathemagicians this week as part of Maths Week!
We learned about binary numbers and were taught a cool trick which meant we could ‘mathematically mind read’ and used our quick mental maths to figure out the number that our classmates were thinking of. We had great fun!

Maths in Room 1

Room 1 have been working very hard on subtracting two digit numbers. We used the iPads for the first time to say to practise our subtraction skills!

Gaeilge stories in Room 5

Room 5 have been working very hard on their Christmas stories in Gaeilge. We invited the classes to a virtual reading of them. It was great fun and we hope you enjoyed them!

Procedural Writing and Presentations in Room 15

We have been spending the last few weeks working on both our procedural writing and oral language skills. We worked hard in our pods to create our own procedure presentations remembering both the procedure writing structure and language features. Check out the following videos to see our final masterpieces!

Pod 1: How to Make a Christmas Wreath

Pod 2: How to Make Hot Chocolate

Pod 3: How to Make Smores

Pod 4: How to Make Rocky Road

December fun in Room 4

We are having a great time preparing for the holidays!

The make and do show 2020 in Room 5

The pupils in Room 5 were learning all about procedural writing and decided to make some tutorial videos using the procedural skills we learned.

We worked in our pods to write the scripts (remembering our procedural language), we prepared the onjects that we needed and we shot our tutorial videos.

We hope you enjoy them.

There are videos titled:

How to be safe in school during Covid-19

How to make hot chocolate
