5th class have been super busy so far this month! They have been creating beautiful portraits of Cherry Blossom trees using oil pastels. We took a visit to Raheny Library where their resident storyteller read the class a story and then gave the boys an opportunity to create their own stories in small groups. The boys have been learning about quadrilaterals, polygons and the different types of triangles. We recreated these shapes using Geoboards and elastic bands. Some of the boys took it in turns to work together to complete a 500 piece puzzle. I am very proud of their team work! Last but not least, the class have been working very hard on their Science Blast investigation and hope to carry out some surveys and record their own logs as part of their homework.
