Paired Reading

Seachtain na Gaeilge in Ms. Colleran’s 5th
Ms Colleran’s 5th Class had a fantastic time celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge. The children enjoyed a range of fun activities through Irish. They engaged in many learning experiences as Gaeilge, such as, singing lively Irish songs, participating in Irish dancing together and showing great creativity during art activities, all inspired by Irish culture. Maith sibh to all the pupils for their enthusiasm and effort throughout the week. Bhí an-spraoi againn le chéile!
5th Class Visit Portumna Workhouse
As part of 5th Classes study of The Irish Famine, pupils went on an educational trip to The Portumna Workhouse. Pupils engaged with history firsthand while fostering a connection with the past by exploring this 19th Century institution which acted as a last resort for the poor, sick and destitute during The Great Hunger (An Gorta Mór).
The Irish Famine (1845 – 1852)
Our class has been learning about the suffering of the Irish people during the famine. We researched life in the workhouses, coffin ships such as The Dunbrody and Jeanie Johnson.
We also studied the artist Markey Robinson, whose depictions of the famine inspired our art pieces.
Lá Pancóga sa Rang a Cúig inniu
Ms. Tierney’s 5th class put their cooking skills to the test today. First we wrote out a procedure for making pancakes.
We mixed flour, eggs, milk with a pinch of salt. We enjoyed tasty pancakes in class.
