4th Class Blitz in Na Fianna

Both 4th classes attended a Blitz Day in Na Fianna this week with girls from other schools in the area. This was held in Na Fianna and was organised by our School's GPO Mark Mc Manus. It was a really fantastic day and we all had a great time. All teams played four or five games and we learned lots as well as meeting girls in other schools and making friends. 
Thanks so much to Mark and Na Fianna for hosting this. Also to Niall Cooper and all the  referees and teachers who helped out. We can't wait for next year. Congratulations to Scoil Mobhi and Corpus Christi who won the cup and the shield respectively:-)

Check out the video below to see how much fun we had:-).

Update from Room 15 (4th Class)

24/4/2016

We've been very busy in Room 15 since our last update. Read below and have a look at our slideshow to see what's been going on.
  • We're very  proud of Holly who read St. Brigid's Proclamation for the future on Proclamation Day. We all had a lovely day and we would like to say a big thank you to all the parents who came to our classroom later that day to hear about all the work we had been doing on 1916. 
  • We also had a great time at the St. Patrick's day Parade in the yard. Well done Dave on being a great grand marshal.
  • We had a lovely time participating in Well-being Week recently. It was a wonderful week full of meditation, yoga, walks, gratitude trees, mindful eating and random acts of kindness. Our homework for the week focused on the importance of a healthy mind, healthy body and healthy diet and I was thrilled with the way the girls embraced it all. Thank you to Sr. Teresa and the convent for allowing us to visit their retreat centre for meditation and also for bringing us into the convent chapel to say a prayer for everything we are thankful for in our lives.
  • Last week the school musical took place involving the 5th and 6th class girls. We all got a sneak preview before opening night and we absolutely loved it. Well done to everyone involved. Thanks to the girls in our class who helped out at the tuck shop and on the front door each night.
  • Our student teacher Ms Mc Donnell has started her placement in our class and we are really enjoying her interesting and engaging lessons. We've done lots of work. We had fun measuring things inside and outside in maths, we are designing and making boats in art, we composed a class anthem in music, we've done the penal laws in history, Italy in geography and so much more. Thanks for all your hard work Ms. Mc Donnell.
  • We are working really hard on projects on either Italy or Japan at the moment.
  • This week is Active Schools Week so we're looking forward to that and plan to keep really active all week with lots of fun activities planned..

 We've been busy in 4th class for the last while. The slideshow shows some pictures of what we've been up to.
  • We're participating in an action research project on 'Improving participation in lessons, increasing energy levels and creating a better atmosphere in our classroom through physical activity breaks and meditation. We're really enjoying these activities.
  • We had yummy pancakes for breakfast on Pancake Tuesday.
  • In maths we have been learning about lines and angles and in science we have been studying different types of  energy and how to save energy. This is in preparation for the 'Low Energy Day' the Green Schools Committee are having on Monday. Check out the 'Energy Codes' we created for our own houses in the slideshow. We're also making a big effort in the classroom. Our experiment for the science exhibition is on 'Wind Energy'. (See pictures).
  • Lots of girls in our class are also busy with their lunchtime choir practices and are really enjoying them. They have been asked to sing at the 6th class Confirmation on March 9th and this is a great honour.
  • We will be finishing up our gymnastics lessons soon which we have really enjoyed. After Easter we will be starting  swimming lessons  in Finglas Leisure Centre and we are really looking forward to these.
  • In other news we're busy preparing for the 1916 commemorations and Proclamation Day which will take place before Easter. We wrote our own proclamations for the future and had some fantastic ideas to add into our School Proclamation that is on Scoilnet.

Our Proclamation for the Future

3rd and 4th class have spent some time discussing and writing their own versions of the Proclamation and including what they think is important for Ireland in the next 100 years. They worked really hard and put a lot of thought into their efforts. These ideas have been combined to create one proclamation from St. Brigid's which has been uploaded to 'Scoilnet'  as part of their 1916 programme. 

The themes covered include love for all people, education, homelessness, equality, care for the environment and peace. Click on the picture have a look at our                                                                                             proclamation for a new generation.

Update from Room 15

We've been working really hard in 4th class this month. We brought in and presented our projects on 1916 a few weeks ago. They were all very impressive and a huge effort was made with these at home. We're also reading a novel about the Rising. We also had a surprise visit from James Mc Carthy with the Sam Maguire which was really great. We're so lucky to have seen it twice this year. This month we're busy preparing for Christmas. We've been doing Advent tasks every day at school and at home. We decorated our classroom, made gift bags in art and made our own Christmas decorations out of recycled materials as part of our Green Schools work. This is a competition and the standard is very high. Our teacher will need some help to judge it.  We have lots of shows to watch this week, a carol service to practise for and we are doing a Jingle Bell Run tomorrow dressed in our festive gear. There's great excitement everywhere. We'd like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas.
See the slideshow for pictures of what's been happening.

It's been a busy few weeks in 4th class. We had a very interesting visit from an author who talked to us about writing and his own books. We had the Cheerios Childline Breakfast on October 7th which was great fun for a great cause. Then two members of our Defence forces visited the school on October 8th with a copy of the Proclamation and the Irish flag as part of the 1916 centenary celebrations. We've been learning lots about 1916 and we are starting our projects on it soon.  Two girls in our class Taylor and Mya got to receive the flag from the army and they were very honoured to do this. Taylor had a relative who was a witness to the rising and Mya's birthday is on the 24th April which was the day the rising started. We've also been having sessions in Gaelic football and camogie from Mark who comes to our school every Friday from Na Fianna. Finally it was Maths Week last week. We did a maths trail and worked on some maths websites at school and at home. Well done to Mya and Laura who were star performers on Manghigh. Harvest day was yesterday and we helped to harvest a giant pumpkin. Happy holidays everyone. Check our our slideshow for some pictures of recent activities.

Ms Devlin's and Ms Brady's classes joined up for a trip to the Botanics yesterday. It was a beautiful day and we had a lovely time looking at the sculptures and visiting the Sensory Garden. The older girls loved looking after and making friends with the younger children.

See the slideshow for some pictures of the trip.
