Over the last few weeks, we've tried our best to give you as many chances to enjoy yourselves as possible. We've been on walks around the local area and we've gone on school tour all the way to the sports field! We had a sports day and we los...

“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” 6th class style
by Alexandra, Maeve, Luke & Cade
December 2020
This year, because of Coronavirus, we couldn’t do our usual big Christmas production so we decided to make a video within our bubble (class). We used a Green-Screen, a Boom box and a microphone to record our version of the 1984 song "Do They Know Its Christmas?"
We auditioned for the video on See-Saw. Everyone in our class was given either a singing or non-singing role. Everyone also brought in 80’s style clothes for filming.
It took...

Painting like Michelangelo 2020
by Ailbhe, Katie, Max & Keelan
November 2020
One Friday afternoon, we were all given an A3 sheet of paper and bluetack. We had to stick the page to the bottom of our desks. The idea was to see what it would have been like for Michelangelo when he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel while lying on his back looking up at the ceiling. We had been studying the Renaissance in history and this lesson linked to that.
We all got paint and started painting under our desk. It ...

After ever session we played a game where there was a person on and they had to turn against ...
