Zoom Interview with David Walliams !!

The children in 5th and 6th were delighted to participate in a zoom interview with the wonderful author Mr. David Walliams recently ! It was a fantastic opportunity to hear from our favourite author. The boys and girls have enjoyed many of his entertaining books and have laughed at his hilarious characters. It was so exciting to be part of this zoom interview with David. He said he might come over to Ireland to write a book and will have Irish characters in it !

Tag Rugby with Mr Hanley

This week we did Tag Rugby with Mr. Hanley for the Active flag, he taught us all the rules.
There were four teams with four or five players on a team, we all played each other and it was great fun. The rules were easy to follow and you need speed, agility and skill.

Sandra Silberzweig

We drew portraits with wonderful designs influenced by a contemporary artist from Toronto called Sandra Silberzweig. She had a condition called synesthesia which means she can see, hear and taste colours . So her work is very, very colourful. She was influenced by Picasso's art,. We liked her work so much we were inspired to try our own portraits. We used sugar paper, chalk pastels and black sharpies. We think they turned out really well and brighten up our classroom beautifully.

Quiz on Europe
On Monday the 10th of May 2021 we participated in an international quiz about Europe to celebrate Europe Day. We had to do a lot of studying beforehand. The quiz was very challenging, but we all did our best. There were many easy questions, but many difficult ones too. At the end, three girls with the highest score in the class received a fantastic prize.
We all had a splendid day.

“The boy, the mole ,the fox and the horse” by Charlie Mackesy

We read this book and we were uplifted and it gave us great hope and a feeling of kindness.
We were inspired by the author Charlie Mackesy to recreate these illustrations
from the book . We will hang these around the school to inspire and uplift all the student and staff.

Soccer tournament

This week and last week 4th, 5th and 6th class played a soccer tournament. We were split into 5 teams of 6. We played 3 games every day. The 5 captains were Grace, Tammie, Wayne, Jamie and Chelsey. All the teams worked very hard and the games were very closely contested. Today we are playing the semi-final and final. Jamie and Tammie’s team have to go into sudden death to see who ends up in the final against Chelsey’s team. It's all to play for !!
