Embedded Files
Self Portraits!
We used coloured card, scissors, and glue to build our own faces.... in 3D! It was a really fun project that let us be really creative. We looked closely at our features and thought about how to show our hair, eyes, mouths using different shapes and layers. Everyone’s portrait is totally unique, just like us!
We worked hard, used our imaginations, and had lots of fun along the way. We’re really proud of how they turned out!
Symmetry!
We’ve been busy over the past few weeks exploring all kinds of symmetry! We learned about horizontal, vertical, and even diagonal lines of symmetry. We had loads of fun making symmetrical patterns using cubes, lollipop sticks, and pegs and we even became symmetry detectives, spotting lines of symmetry in lots of 2D shapes! 🦋
Crazy Hair Day!
Take a look at our wild and wonderful hair for Feel Good Friday!
Our Surrounding Counties!
We've been exploring the counties that surround Westmeath and discovering some of their most famous landmarks. Some of us have even had the chance to visit these amazing places! To test our knowledge, we played a fun sorting game where we matched each landmark to its county.
Rounders!
We finished our rounders lessons for September with a fun and friendly game against Ms. Murtagh’s 3rd class! We had been practising our throwing, catching, and striking all month, and it was great to put our skills to the test. Everyone played really well, and we had so much fun together! 🏏
Maths Week!
Maths Week!
To round off Maths Week, we had a sweet end to our learning by creating bar graphs using the different types of sweets in a tub of Heroes! After tallying up how many of each treat we had, we used that data to build colourful and accurate bar graphs. Of course, we couldn’t resist enjoying a chocolate or two as a well-earned reward for all our hard work! 🍫

Children of Lir!
We've been exploring the legend of the Children of Lir, with a focus on developing our sequencing skills. As part of our learning, we created our own illustrations to bring the story to life. We also practised retelling the tale in our own words, both from Lir’s perspective and from Aoife’s! 🦢

Bone Bridge Challenge!
We’ve been busy in our STEM classes taking on the exciting Bone Bridge Challenge! 🧠💡
Working in teams, we used our problem-solving skills to ask questions, imagine, plan, create, test, and evaluate our bridges. We also discussed how we could improve them next time. It was a fantastic opportunity to collaborate, think creatively, and have lots of fun! 🦴🌉
