Ms. Carolan's 1st Class - November
In November, we celebrated the creativity of our boys, who worked hard to create beautiful artwork that was proudly displayed in the school hall for all parents to enjoy. Each piece reflected their imagination, focus, and growing artistic skills. Alongside their art, the boys have also been busy preparing for our Christmas play, Star of Wonder. They have been practising with great enthusiasm, learning their lines, songs, and stage movements. Their excitement is growing each day as the performance draws near! We are very proud of their hard work and dedication in both their artwork and their play preparations. Thank you to all the parents for your continued support!

The boys in first class have had lots of fun this November! It was a very creative month overall. The boys got to see their wonderful artwork displayed in the exhibition in the hall. They also enjoyed their first day of the Creative Schools workshop, where they worked collaboratively on a large artpiece. A lot of construction was done, from making towers with magnatiles in class to building with blocks and polydrons on the yard. This linked in with our maths where we have been exploring 3D shapes as well as ordinal numbers. Well done to the boys on all of their hard work!
Ms. Carolan's 1st Class - October
Our class had a fantastic October! We went on a nature walk to St. Anne’s Park, where we explored the beautiful autumn scenery and learned about the different trees and signs of the season. We also celebrated Maths Week with lots of exciting activities — playing fun maths games, creating maths comic strips, and designing our own 2D shape robots. One of the highlights was visiting the Maths Carnival in the hall, where we enjoyed playing games with the 6th Class boys. It was a month full of learning, creativity, and fun!

October has been a very busy month! The boys in 1st class have been learning all about autumn. We went on a scavenger hunt in St. Anne’s Park, looking for different trees, conkers and squirrels! The boys then used the leaves they collected to create some colourful printed art. The yard toys have returned at lunch time and the boys have been excitedly creating various sculptures and playing different games. During Maths Week, 1st class took part in a variety of different activities. They created 2D shape monsters using dice. We have been using pegboards to create different pictures and patterns. The boys also had great fun at the maths carnival in the hall!
Ms. Carolan's 1st Class - September
The 1st Class boys have had a very busy and exciting month settling back into school. They’ve been exploring their creativity with hedgehog art, inspired by the book Don’t Hog the Hedge. Alongside art, the boys have enjoyed playing lots of fun maths games to help with addition and even learned how to skip outside in the sunshine. It’s been wonderful to see everyone working hard, learning new skills, and having a great time together. We’re so proud of how quickly they’ve settled back into school life and the enthusiasm they bring each day!

The 1st Class boys have been very busy this September! They have been working hard in their English stations, writing word chains and creating sentences. The boys were delighted to be back training with Ciarán. They are having great fun working together on their GAA skills and during matches. As well as this, the boys also explored collage in art. They completed a leaf mosaic, using the traditional autumnal colours of red, orange and yellow. Well done to the boys on all of their hard work and enthusiasm this month!
