Welcome to our 4th Class blog! We will be sharing news and updates about all the activities we have been doing, so keep an eye on our page!
Cycle Right & Merrion Square
4th Class had a very busy week last week!
On Monday, we visited St. Annes Park, where we took part in a ‘Cycle Right’ workshop. We were brought on a 6km cycle around the perimeter of the park. This was followed by a picnic at the playground!
On Friday, we got the DART into Merrion Square for the Literature Festival. We attended a talk with Susan Cahill, author of the mythical novel ‘The World Between the Rain’. 4th Class were asked to create their own portal, which would transport us to a fantasy world. This workshop was followed by another picnic in the sun!
Happy Easter!
This week we were very busy with our school concert ‘Cinderella and the Rockerfella’. Therefore, to celebrate all of our hard work, we made Easter baskets and used them to collect treats during our Easter egg hunt! We had to solve riddles to find the next clue, which was great fun. Happy Easter everyone!
World Book Day
World Book Day took place on Thursday 6th March. Throughout the week, we celebrated by discussing our favourite books and authors. Firstly, we created a collage based on ‘Dav Pilkey’, who is the author of the popular novel ‘Dog Man’. We then shared our narrative writing stories with the whole school during assembly. Ms. Cahill organised a World Book Day quiz, which was great fun! Finally, we rounded off World Book Day with some paired reading with a younger class!
GAA in the Sun!
We have been loving going down to the astro pitch to play GAA with Coach Ciarán every Tuesday!
Drum Nature Workshop
We had lots of fun using the drums to create different rhythms and beats!
Working hard in maths!
4th Class have been doing lots of hands-on activities in maths. We used Aldi shopping catalogues to buy different items and calculate the correct change.
We have also been doing plenty of work on decimals. We used hula hoops and beanbags to create the correct decimal number!
Happy Christmas from Fourth Class!
We dressed up in our festive outfits to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Christmas Baking!
4th Class were busy baking Christmas puddings as part of our Advent calendar. We dipped chocolate biscuits into white chocolate and created holly using icing. They tasted delicious!
