Construction – Creating Our Dream Homes
Fun with 3D shapes

We have been learning about 3D shapes in school. We had so much fun today building the shapes we have learned about including cubes, cuboids, different types of pyramids and prisms. We have learned all about the faces, edges and vertices on the shapes. This was a fun (and tasty) activity. :)

Painting like Michelangelo
November 2021
As part of our history lesson on the Renaissance, we learned about Michelangelo. He was a very famous painter and sculptor who created some of the greatest artworks ever. One of his most famous paintings was the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. To complete this work, he had to lie on his back on scaffolding and paint directly over his face. This was very difficult and would have caused a lot of problems for Michelangelo.
To try to imagine how tough Michelangelo had it, we decid...

We really enjoy playing maths games to help our understanding of different concepts, especially with fractions and decimals.

Lego We Do Race
October 2021
In October, we began to work with Chromebooks and Lego We Do.
After going through a few lessons, Mr O’Leary gave us a challenge. He wanted us in our groups to design and create a vehicle capable of taking part in a race. There were several tutorials available to help us and we all tried to create the vehicle which would give us the best chance of winning. Once we had built the model, we then had to use a programme on the Chromebooks to tell the Lego what to do. We ha...

Picking Potatoes!
October 2021
In May when we were in fifth class with Mr Roughan, we planted some potatoes in the school garden. Although Mr Roughan has now left the school, we felt we should make sure that these potatoes didn’t go to waste and so in October, Kathy got a spade and we went digging!
At first we didn’t have too much success but as we kept trying, we eventually found quite a few potatoes. We filled a bucket full and Jack was the lucky one who got to take them home!
