3rd Class!
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! 🏏
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! 🦢
This week, we explored Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” and had a go at creating our own masterpieces! 👩🎨
Well done to everyone who entered our Halloween Art Competition! 👻
We’ve been blown away by your spooky creativity! From pumpkin masterpieces to posters, drawings, and even masks! Take a look at our fantastic Halloween creations below! 🧙♀️🕷️✨
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! 🦴🌉
There was great excitement in St Tola’s this week after Delvin’s fantastic win in the Senior B Hurling Championship final!
We were so lucky to welcome some of the winning team to our school and even managed to get a few autographs! What a brilliant day for everyone! 👏
We had so much fun celebrating Halloween in style! 🎃
From Star Wars to Ronald McDonald and Wednesday Addams, everyone looked amazing. Well done to all on your brilliant costumes! 👏🧛♂️
