November has been a very productive and interesting month for the Senior Room. We are trying to get as much work done as we can before the festive season kicks off next month!!

In Gaeilge we covered the theme of Sa Bhaile. We worked very hard on how to structure and write good sentences and then everyone wrote some fantastic pieces. 5th and 6th debated whether it was better to live in the country or in the city and 3rd and 4th wrote about looking for something they lost in their house.

In English we analysed some recounts and then wrote our own and read about the famous Moon landing and also how to protect and look after our environment

In Music we are making great strides with our ukulele lessons and were having great fun. We hope to be able to do a brief performance for Christmas! We are also working on our Peace Proms songs with Ms Hedderman each week.

In Geography we did some brilliant work around the Environment also. We looked at causes and effects of global warming, recycling, plastic pollution and extreme weather.

In History we had great fun making amazing dioramas of schools in the past and present and each person did a project relating to schools. So far they are super…(were still presenting them!)

In Religion we Remembered for November and read about the story of Lazurus. We also remembered those close to us who have died. The Confirmation class have started preparing and made a lovely poster to represent one of the symbols of the Holy Spirit - Fire

In SPHE we looked a the theme of friendship and did some lovely pair work. We are continuing on with our Weaving Wellbeing and working on Positive Emotions.

In Maths we tackled the theme of Time which can be a tricky one!

During Science Week we did a fun experiment with Ms Hedderman about density and also looked at how strong air can be when compressed…..it nearly held up a whole pod….until POP!!

Finally…well done to Keeley, Cian and Emma who are flying along in their TTRS(Touch, Type, Read and Spell) and have received certificates.
