Literacy Mats being used in Wood Technology

Reflection is a cornerstone of learning in Wood Technology, where students not only engage in hands-on work but also critically evaluate their own and their peers' projects. However, various obstacles can hinder effective reflection, such as subject knowledge gaps, grammar issues, and spelling errors. To address these challenges, our department often employs tools like literacy mats as seen below.

Literacy mats are visual aids designed to support students in various literacy-related tasks, such as writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary development. In the context of Wood Technology, these mats are tailored to address specific challenges students may encounter when reflecting on their work or providing feedback.

These can be applied through google classroom or else printed out, paminated and stuck on to the tables.

6th February 2024

Students in Mr Creegan's 1st year Wood Technology class used flipped learning to discover Timber seasoning.

Students had covered Timber Conversion and due to move onto Timber Seasoning. At the end of the Timber conversion lesson, they were given information on Seasoning in the form of slides and videos and had to make their own Seasoning poster and present it to the class.

Flipped learning, also known as the flipped classroom model, is beneficial for several reasons, one being Personalized Learning: Flipped learning allows students to learn at their own pace. They can review materials as needed, pause or rewind videos, and spend more time on challenging concepts, leading to a more personalized learning experience.

Proof of Pythagorean Theorem

Our Transition Year students explored one of the most important Mathematical proofs last week. The Theorem of Pythagoras has been used for hundreds of years with many real life applications. Before solving problems students deducted a physical proof of the theorem by constructing 4 equal right angled triangles out of a square. By rearranging we can show that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining sides

This project involved the students learning how to correctly and safely use hand tools as well as understanding how to interpret a working drawing to correctly mark out dimensions on their wooden pieces, finally the students designed their own Boat sails to make the project individual and unique.

14th September 2023

Last week our TY Geometry & Trigonometry class availed of the fine weather to construct a Clinometer and investigate the height of our school building. We discussed the ancient building technique of using a plumb line and how that gave rise to the invention of the Clinometer.

5th September 2023

As part of the JC maths curriculum, students learn about the Cartesian Plane. The Cartesian plane was firstly published in 1637, by a mathematician Rene Descartes. Descartes came up with the plane when he was ill in bed one day, and a fly was on his ceiling. He wandered if he could pinpoint the exact location of the fly using mathematics, and designed a grid, now known as the Cartesian plane. Students in Oak1 learned about coordinates and the plane by using a fly cutout, to demonstrate Descartes’ way of thinking. Students were asked to place the fly at random locations on their planes, and to write its location down. They were asked to come up to the board, and demonstrate where the fly should be positioned when given a set of coordinates. Then, to sum up the lesson, students came up and placed the fly at random, for their classmates to guess the location. They then wrote it on their whiteboards, and had to hold it up for the student at the board to check their answers. It was an engaging and interactive activity, as students had great fun with the flies and coming up to the board.

English Revision

In Ms O'Sullivan's 6th year class the students were finding it difficult to revise their quotes for their single text. We put them in groups and asked them to use playdough to create a model representation of their quote. The 6th years enjoyed the activities but it also really reinforced the key images from the play. The students commented that it helped them recall the key quotes also.

26th January 2023

Rivers Revision

Here is Mrs Crawford's 5th year Geography class using pictures from various stages of rivers. In groups they had to discuss what they could see in the image and write down all the key words in relation to the landform in the image. Each group had images and diagrams from the three different stages of a river. Once time was up students did a walk of the classroom and looked at the other groups posters to see what they had written down. When they returned to their table they discussed with their group anything they may have missed on their image and added to it. A class discussion then took place and each diagram was revised to ensure understanding of the topic before moving on with higher and lower order questioning.

25 January 2023

Maths Recap

First year maths class today participated in a fun recap activity involving grouping like terms in algebra. Students were asked to select a card from a table and place it to their chest without looking or showing anyone. The aim was for them to match with their simplified pair. Only catch was- they had to do it without speaking! The students dispersed around the room and I started the timer. Students then turned their cards and had to match themselves to their pairs and stand by the board if they had matched. We timed them and it took the class as a group 5 minutes and 5 seconds-amazing work! Well done to Yew1!

CanSat Workshop with TYs

NCC is working with TU Dublin, our partner college, to participate in CanSat, a European Space Agency competition for senior students. The competition is run by ESERO (European Space Education Resource Offfice) Ireland in conjunction with Blackrock Castle Observatory.

Three teams of TY Computer Science students will compete in this competition to design, build and test a mini-satellite or CanSat. A CanSat is a simulation of a real life satellite, built inside a 330ml can. Students will:

Fit and power the sensor and communication subsystems in a CanSat

Design and create a parachute for the CanSat

Perform scientific experiments and radio transmit the data back to Earth

On Thursday 12th January, fourteen TY Computer Science students travelled to TU Blanchardstown to participate in their first CanSat workshop where they were mentored by the School of Electrical Engineering. Students attended an interactive lecture where they were introduced to the concept of a CanSat, the rules of the competition, and helpful tips and tricks to guide them along their way. Afterwards students attended a soldering workshop and learned all about capacitors, resistors and transistors. Finally, students were treated to a lovely lunch in the canteen. Students had a fantastic time, enjoyed the experience of attending a third level college for the day, and learnt a lot.

Thank you to our mentors for facilitating such a great day, and for providing us with our three CanSat kits, which we cannot wait to open. We look forward to attending our second workshop next week which will take place in the TU Grangegorman campus.

Story Books

Ms. Woods’ 2nd Year English class created their own children's story books using ‘book creator’, a digital book creation application. The students were divided into groups and given a brief to write, illustrate and publish a children’s story that they felt contained a positive message for children.

Each group firstly came up with a concept for their story and developed the plot. Once their stories were written, students created their books on ‘book creator’, designed their own illustrations and wrote blurbs for their books. Once the books were complete, each group presented and read their stories in front their classmates, explaining why they felt their story would have a positive impact on child readers. The stories dealt with powerful themes such as bullying, inclusion, global warming and deforestation.

PWIM

Ms. C O'Sullivan's 5th Year Art class used PWIM (Picture Word Inductive Method) to research and develop their answers in preparation for their upcoming Visual Studies Christmas exam. The students were provided with unseen artworks (by Wassily Kandinsky & Chris Ofili) on two separate occasions. They had to analyse the art elements and design principles in the artwork in preparation for exam short question practice. Students had the chance to identify the art elements and design principles and discuss them as a group before answering questions individually. During the next class, they used different coloured markers to compare and contrast the artworks and again answered short questions individually.

21st November 2022

Up and Move

Up & Moving in Maths for some self and peer correcting today. Students completed a worksheet in class.

Students were assigned one question from the worksheet to correct
Students were given time to double check their answer, including cross checking with their table
Students put their answer on the board
Students then moved around and corrected their worksheet using the answers provided by the class

This created safety and accountability in the classroom but also allowed for some important discussion with Ms Curtis and the chance to spot their own mistakes.

Well done Ash1!

Ms. C. O'Sullivan introduced the 5th year Art students to the written aspect of the subject called Visual Studies last week. The students were divided into pairs and were given a copy of a famous piece of artwork (unknown to the students). They used placemats to DESCRIBE, ANALYSE, INTERPRET and JUDGE their piece of artwork. They were tasked with using their existing Art terminology based on the art elements and design principles to describe and analyse the work. They were then allowed to use their iPads to research the artwork and to help them to interpret and judge the artworks. Each pair then presented their artwork and the information on their placemats to the rest of the class. This was a great way to get the students researching and talking about the artworks in preparation for the analysis of unseen artworks in the future. To extend the learning, the class then began to create a terminology and descriptive word "bank" in their Visual Studies notebooks.

9th September 2022

Ms Lanigan’s 3rd Year Music students have been learning about Form this week. They created their own graphic scores to represent unitary, binary and ternary form in music. These posters are fantastic study aids and will be used to help other students to visualise Form. Well done to all.

Today my 1st Year English class used an MFL idea of ‘running dictation’ to check on their grammar. Three groups had to run to their story and report back to their group what it says, but the story is full of mistakes that they have to fix.

Once the group thinks it is fully correct, they bring it up to their teacher to check. The smallest mistake means they must restart.

A Different Approach to Teaching Content

Ms Dunphy

A 6 hour day of lessons can be long for a student, especially those in Junior Years. For this reason, I try to incorporate a bit of movement into my lessons whenever possible. One method of this is to do an information ‘Treasure Hunt’.

Ms Lackeys 3rd Year Science Class made a model of the foetus in the uterus which is part of the human reproduction topic in junior cycle science. The students were given a worksheet which had a variety of activities with a mix of questions and fill in the blanks. The final activity was to model the foetus based off the diagram they had labelled on the worksheet. Modelling clay was used for this task. Students did this task in groups of 3 or 4 to make it more interactive.

Have a look at some of the examples of handmade bookcrafts that Ms. C.O’Sullivan’s first year Art class have been working on for the past few weeks. The students used numeracy tactics and origami techniques to create the insides of their books and decorated them with the Elements of Art, revising and applying their learning from before Christmas. They also measured and completed the covers of their books using the paper marbling technique. Great fun was had making both the “exploding” books and the concertina books which are currently being filled with imaginative drawings.

My 5th years used different types of crisps today to introduce them to using comparative language. Students were given different types of crisps and asked to compare them under three headings, similar to the modes prescribed for Leaving Cert English. Once they had completed their comparison they had to pull out any vocabulary they used to compare. This aided in the creation of a word bank for their comparative section of their course. Ms C.Dunne

Sketch Notes for 1st and 2nd Years

Sketch-noting is a form of note taking that uses words but also visuals or pictures. It works because when you add visuals or sketches to your notes it taps into parts of your brain that would lie dormant if you were only using words to explore your ideas. It’s powerful because we are simultaneously activating different parts of the brain - the words part, the ideas part, and the pictures part. In deciding what to draw to illustrate their notes, students are thinking about the learning topic in different, sometimes more intense, ways.

It also works well for students because there isn’t a strict format. The student can make their own decisions and represent them on paper. Later, they have to interpret their own drawings and remember what they were trying to represent. Again, different parts of the brain are activated at the same time, increasing the chances of moving the newly learned stuff from the working memory to the long term memory. And that’s the goal in teaching and learning, always.

The workshop on sketch-notes provided students with a variety of tools to choose from so they can create their own customized note- taking process. This means students decide on what works well for them and their personality. Some people like to doodle, so their notes might end up full of pictures and sketches. Others prefer working with words and so their notes might just bring in labels and diagrams to help organise their words.

The point of notes is to capture important ideas for future reference. While it’s nothing new to take notes that combine images with words and phrases, sketch notes are an evolution of this idea. As an English teacher, I taught only a handful of note-taking styles, primarily combination notes, different graphic organisers, Cornell notes, and a kind of weird mnemonic type thing of single letters and numbers that only a few students ever understood! As a matter of differentiation, I’d provide templates or examples of outline-style notes but that was it.

Sketch notes are better because they don’t just capture ideas, they tell a story. And that matters because we all - young and old, across all cultures and backgrounds - love a good story. The TV and film industries, the video game industry, billion-dollar advertising campaigns, thespians, and musical artists all live and die by their ability to relay a story we can connect with. Shakespeare is still taught because he tells a great story! If students can learn to tell a story as they make their notes, that means they can curate their own notes (revising without realising it!) and share them. If they have worked hard at their sketch notes, and enjoyed it, and they look elegant – then they’ll share them. That is really important for the peer and collaborative aspects of studying, which in their Senior Cycle years will become a life saver.

Having been provisionally accepted to Phase 2 of the Astro Pi Mission Spacelab Challenge, coding students from NCC attended an online event hosted in IT Carlow in conjunction with the ESERO (European Space Education Resource Office). NCC students learned about the Cosmic Kiss Crew support at the ESA Astronaut Centre in Cologne as well as PhD students studying in IT Carlow. They also learned from Thomas Ormston from ESA about the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope Mission and to Dr Patrick Kavanagh from Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies. The event will finish with an inflight talk, by Astronaut Matthis Maurer, live from the ISS

Last week 5th years who had finished reading A Dolls house were given a grid (with themes on the horizontal and acts 1-3 on the vertical) to fill in with key information from the play in pairs. Once they had that filled in we used “market place” a Paul Guinis active methodology (more information below) to fill in the rest of the grid. One of the pair remained behind while the other partner found out the missing information from other groups. The student who remained behind, taught the other groups. Students then had a few minutes to teach their partner.

By the end of the lesson all students had filled in their grid and knew the themes in ADH effectively and efficiently.

“The best way to learn is to try and teach.”

Divide the class in groups.

Have each group of the class try to create lessons, teaching something new to one of the other group.

Rotate and have each group of the class try to learn from the lessons created by another group of the class.

Then have the students who just learned the material try to produce their own lessons, improving on the lessons produced by their peers.

By having the students create lessons to teach each other the project has more purpose to it and there’s immediate feedback about pupils knowledge.

With 13.5 weeks left until the mocks, Ms Carty’s 3rd year Classics spent the class creating a study timetable and a revision key sheet based on each of the four sections the cover from 1st to 3rd year. They have just been given the sample exam for the topic so used this alongside their learning outcomes to make sure they captured all areas for revision.

5th November

Today in Ms Carty’s 2ENG class, students used graphic organisers to do a chapter analysis, using titles connected to exam questions. Their plot mountain and novel wall are coming along nicely and they’re exploring lots of different ways to revise chapters.

4th November

Ms Dunphy’s 2nd Year Philosophy class were learning about Plato before the break, and explored the idea of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Plato used a dark cave and the light of the world to explain how humans engage with reality, which is considered a very big philosophical question. Ms Dunphy posed the same question to class, and challenged them to draw a picture which symbolises what the students feel life is. The students then worked together to display their posters in room 14 to hopefully carry on the conversation for all of the school community who might see their ideas.

Marketplace.pdf

21st October

I used a Marketplace activity in my second year Classics class this week and students did an excellent job. This was a great activity to use in the small class setting. Students were divided into groups of three or four and given time to research their designated myths. After this, students had time to create a poster for their myth, using primarily pictures, symbols and numbers. The only rule was that they could only use 8 words in their posters. This poster would be used in the final marketplace activity. During the Marketplace activity, one student stayed at their desk to teach their myth with the help of their poster and the others moved around to learn about the other two myths. The roles of “teacher” and “student” were rotated until everyone had an opportunity to teach. Peer teaching is one of the best ways to retain new information. Here are some photos of the students in action!

1st Year SPHE - Belonging to the class

It is important for our first year’s to transition positively coming into our school. We recognise that it can be difficult for some of our students to make the leap into secondary school and our 1st Year SPHE programme helps with numerous activities and strategies in the classroom. Being a part of the 1st Year SPHE team, we have worked hard with our 1st years to make the classroom environment as safe and comfortable as possible. One activity that was carried out was working together to create a physical and digital representation on what it means to be a part of the class and that sense of belonging.

6th year Business

Students had to make a board game using a "blockbuster" board and flash cards containing questions on the last chapter they finished; "monitoring the business". Each flash card question had a corresponding honeycomb piece on the blockbuster board. Students in teams had to select a colour and take turns asking their opponents questions from the flash cards. If answered correctly, the opponent gets to colour the corresponding honey comb piece in their colour. If answered incorrectly, the team asking the question got to fill it in their colour. The team with the most coloured honeycomb pieces at the end wins!

Ms.O’Sullivan’s 5th Year Art class used placemats to describe, analyse, interpret and judge famous artworks as part of their Visual Studies. In pairs, students were given an unseen artwork and had to fill their placement in with limited information and I focus on “reading” and artwork. The students were then allowed to use their iPads to find out the name of the artwork, the year it was painted and the name of the artist. After each this activity, the class participated in a “ghost walk” to see the other groups’ images and interpretations of the artworks.

20th September

Students had to listen to me describe a monster in Spanish (eg. “tiene siete brazos con rayas de color rosa y verde”/“it has seven arms with pink and green stripes”) and draw their interpretation of the instruction they heard. The students then did a “monster walk” around the room to compare the different monsters. Credit to Ms. Kinsella for the idea.

Strategy Used_ Speed Dating in the basketball court.pdf

Ms C. Ennis- Strategy Used: Speed Dating in the basketball court.

5th Year Irish Gnathleibhéal class took place outside in the basketball court.

This was to ensure students had an appropriate space to practice their Irish Oral skills.

Students were well spaced out in pairs and this created a safe and trusting environment. From previous experience, some students don’t like to practice in a crowded room where they can be overheard by other students. This gave students the opportunity to work in pairs. It also gave myself as a teacher an opportunity to work with students on pronunciation that they were struggling with. Every 5 minutes students moved to a new partner. This gave students an opportunity to improve and become confident as they moved from student to student. Students really enjoyed this and it allowed them to improve on feedback given to them and become more confident speaking with their peers. Students did an exit ticket giving feedback on how they felt the lesson went for them.

15th Sept 2021

Ms. Kinsella’s 3rd year Spanish students were carrying out a listening activity earlier today where Ms. Kinsella described a monster in Spanish, using the body parts, colours and numbers learnt in class. Some excellent interpretations here!
