Colour Theory
Colour Theory
In our Colour Theory lessons, we had lots of fun learning about primary colours (red, blue, yellow), secondary colours (green, orange, purple), and tertiary colours, which are made by mixing a primary and a secondary colour. We got creative by mixing our own paints to make a colour wheel, seeing how all the colours connect. We also learned about tints (colours made lighter with white), tones (colours mixed with grey), and shades (colours made darker with black). To practice what we learned, we did a colour theory worksheet and explored how different colours can change the mood and feel of our artwork
Planting Hyacinths
Planting Hyacinths
This week in science, we planted hyacinth bulbs in glass jars and are excited to watch them grow! We made predictions about what might happen and are going to observe the bulbs over the next few weeks. We even have one bulb in a dark box to see how it grows without light. This activity is helping us learn about how plants grow, what they need to stay healthy, and how light affects them. We can’t wait to see our bulbs start to sprout!
STEM: Vex Robotics
STEM: Vex Robotics
In our STEM classes, we are exploring VEX Robotics using VEX GO! We are learning how to build and design like real engineers. So far, we’ve completed the Intro to Building lessons in the engineering section and discovered the names and uses of all the different pieces in the VEX GO kit. We’ve already built some amazing creations — a launch pad, a spaceship, and a moon buggy! It’s been so much fun working together, problem-solving, and seeing our ideas come to life.
Harvest Art
Harvest Art
In art, we are continuing to learn about colour theory. We are painting beautiful harvest pictures using only the primary colours — red, blue, and yellow — along with black and white to create tints, tones, and shades. This means we have to mix all of our own colours to get the perfect hues for our artwork. We’ve been practising how to blend colours smoothly and experiment with how adding white makes colours lighter and adding black makes them darker. It’s exciting to see how many different colours we can make from just a few paints!
Maths Week
Maths Week
For Maths Week, we celebrated with a variety of exciting activities inspired by the new Primary Maths Curriculum, which focuses on problem-solving, creativity, and real-life connections. Each morning, we tackled maths challenges and puzzles to get our brains working and to build our reasoning skills. We took part in active and fun maths lessons, showing that maths isn’t just about numbers on a page — it’s all around us! We enjoyed maths trails with our Senior Infant buddies, exploring shapes, patterns, and measurements in our school environment. Our estimation stations tested our sense of number and quantity, while board games helped us practise strategic thinking and logical reasoning. We also learned how to play Sudoku and Kakuro, sharpening our problem-solving and perseverance. To finish the week, we combined art and maths to create colourful maths-inspired artwork, celebrating how mathematical ideas can be both creative and beautiful.
Sa Bhaile
Sa Bhaile
Sa Ghaeilge, bhíomar ag foghlaim faoi Sa Bhaile. D’fhoghlaimíomar na cineálacha tithe éagsúla, na seomraí sa teach, agus an troscán a bhaineann le gach seomra. Bhí ár ngníomhaíocht is fearr ná nuair a rinneamar ár dteach aislingeach i ngrúpaí. Bhí sé an-spraíúil ag caint as Gaeilge lena chéile agus muid ag insint faoi na seomraí, na dathanna agus na rudaí speisialta inár dtithe féin!
Halloween
Halloween
We have been getting creative by painting our classroom windows for Halloween.
We are also busy doing our Halloween Art for the Halloween Art competition!
The Celts
The Celts
The Celts were a group of people who lived in many parts of Europe a long time ago, including Ireland. They shared similar languages, art, and traditions. When they came to Ireland, they brought new ideas, tools, and customs that became an important part of Irish life and history. They were skilled farmers, warriors, and craftspeople who used iron tools and weapons. The Celts lived in roundhouses inside ringforts and were led by powerful chiefs. They spoke the Irish language and told stories about their gods and heroes, many of which are still known today. The Celts left a big impact on Ireland — their art, language, and traditions helped shape Irish culture for hundreds of years.
We spent October learning about The Celts and researching them for our reports, which we wrote on Google Slides. You can see some of our reports below.
