6th Class
Mr.Mooney's 6th Class- September
Mr. McNamara's 6th Class- October
We’ve had a very busy month in 6th Class. We completed our annual sponsored walk and doubled this with a guided tour of Casino Marino. The boys really enjoyed the tour and this excursion consolidated more learning on our unit on Buildings. The boys were a great help hosting the annual Maths Carnival for the whole school and really were great role models. They’ve also been busy creating some magnificent artwork, some of which will be showcased at our upcoming Art Exhibition. Here’s a sample of other artwork which we completed recently, focussing on the Element of Art “Line”.

6th class have been extremely busy during the month of October. We visited Casino Marino and got to learn all about its unique history. The boys heard lots of different stories about the house and the people that lived and worked there. It was fantastic to put our learning from the classroom into real-life. The boys also excelled this month during Maths week. The boys led the maths carnival in our school hall. It was great to see the older boys teaching activities and games to the younger classes. Well done boys on making Maths week so enjoyable. Back in the classroom, we solved lots of fun maths problems including the ‘Bridge crossing problem’ which was a lot of fun!

We’ve had a great few weeks in 6th class settling back into school. The boys have spent a lot of time carrying out various Team-Building activities, while also engaging with playful learning activities and developing a strong work ethic for the year ahead. We were lucky enough to visit the Archaeological site in our local St. Anne’s Park, where we had a fascinating insight into the history of the house that once stood there. We got to see many interesting artifacts and learnt a lot of interesting history about the site. Well done to the candidates who held a very strong campaign for this year’s Student Council, and congratulations to this year’s Class Representative, Max Memery!

September has been a busy month as we settled back into school. We have spent the last month working on building a positive classroom dynamic by engaging in team-building games and activities. The boys have had great fun with these activities throughout the month! The boys also visited the Guinness family archaeological dig in St. Anne’s. This provided a wonderful opportunity to learn about their local history. The boys are currently writing a recount from the perspective of a person in the Guinness family house using all the information they have gathered. Lastly, to coincide with our student council elections, the boys have been learning about how elections work in Ireland. We then had a debate amongst our student council hopefuls, before the boys placed their ballot paper in our election box. Congratulations to Shay Duggan, our student council representative for 2025!
