Welcome to
3rd Class!
January has been full steam ahead! We’ve been learning all about the Titanic and showing our creativity through art, including dramatic Titanic silhouettes against sunset backgrounds and detailed Titanic symmetry artwork.
Happy New Year! To start the year, we created vibrant firework pictures using chalk pastels on black card, experimenting with colour, texture, and movement! 🎆
We have been loving the active movement breaks this month as part of the Active Break Every Day Challenge. This four-week challenge helps us build fun movement breaks into our school day. This year’s videos, supported by the GAA, take us behind the scenes at Croke Park, including the dressing rooms, warm-up areas, and team arrival points. We’re staying active while learning some fascinating facts along the way! 🏋️
For St. Brigid’s Day, we enjoyed a beautiful spring afternoon creating traditional St. Brigid’s crosses using rushes. It was a lovely way to celebrate the start of spring, honour St. Brigid, and learn about this special Irish tradition.
Our theme for January has been the Titanic, and we’ve been extremely busy exploring its history! We researched fascinating facts on our chromebooks, created posters and slideshows, and even built Titanic models using recyclable materials. Working in groups helped us share ideas, cooperate, and bring our projects to life. We then had the exciting opportunity to present our work to each other and to a couple of other classes! Take a look at some of our incredible creations!
