Fourth class had a lovely time last Friday doing things to celebrate Roald Dahl Day. We dressed up as our favourite characters, made a collection of our favourite books to read, had a Roald Dahl table quiz and a fashion show. We are also writing character descriptions based on various Roald Dahl characters from Matilda to Willy Wonka. Well done everyone on all your effort and hard work.
Click on the picture to the left to bring you to the Roald Dahl site with lots of interesting facts and things to do.
Check out our pictures from the day in the slideshow.

The pupils from 4th and 5th classes were delighted to have an author visit them in school this morning. Martin Brennan, who has a pseudonym of Edward Crane, was in St. Brigid's to talk about his trilogy of books about the Havishams. During his visit,he talked about the length of time it takes to write books, how to create characters, and be creative in our story-writing. We were delighted to have some of the first chapter read to us, and to hear the plots of the books.
Thanks to Martin for his time and enthusiasm in helping us to see how great writing stories of all kinds can be.

Jersey Day in Room 15

We had a Jersey Day on Friday in the run up to the All Ireland to raise money for Goal and the people in Syria. In 4th class  we designed jerseys, researched the Sam Maguire,  based our Irish and History lessons on the GAA and played a game of Gaelic football.
  
There was a wonderful variety of jerseys on display with the majority of course dressed in their blue to support the Dubs.

Ms O' Donoghue was flying the flag for Kerry in Junior Infants and we'll all be very nice to her this week as she gets over her disappointment. 
                                              Congratulations to the Dublin team from all in St. Brigids. :-)
                                                                               Check out some pictures from the day in this video:

Update Room 15

See the slideshow above for some photographs of Room 15 over the last few months. Back in April we had a lovely pizza party provided by the Parent's Association for raising lots of money for the pedal powered cinema. We went outside for games after to continue our treat day. We've been working hard in class on problem solving in maths and we've been working on reading fluency in English. We also worked really hard on our projects this year. Recently we handed in scrapbook projects on either Italy or Japan. We learned lots about these countries during our research. We're really looking forward to our school tour to Causey Farm with Ms. Sheridan's class on the 15th June. We'll tell you all about it when we get back.

I Think I'm Learning Japanese

26/3/2015

We are learning all about Japan in Room 12日本

Did you know that Japanese writing has three scripts? That's like having three alphabets! Or that Japanese books are read from back to front? Have you ever heard of a Haiku? Well, it's a Japanese poem with three lines. The first has five syllables, the second has seven and the third has five. Take a read of some of our What am I? poems below. We have also been looking at the work of Japanese artist Hiroshige and you can see a sample of our lovely paintings in the Art Gallery. We have read and talked about a Japanese legend called Princess Hase of Japan, which is very similar to our own Children of Lir. Listen (yes, we really mean for you to listen), we have even learned how to count to 10 in Japanese!

I get kicked around                                                                   
Kids and adults play with me                                              
I am a round sphere.                                                                
                                        by Alesia                                                                                   

Means 'empty handed'
My suit is white with a belt
I am very rough.

Room 15-What's happening?

19/3/2015

See the slideshow below for some photographs of the busy term we've had. We've been working very hard and having lots of fun too. We've just celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge, sang 'Cailín na Gaillimhe' in the ceolchoirm and took part in St. Brigid's very own St. Patrick's day parade. We've been learning about 'Old toys' in history and earlier in the term we studied 'Rocks' in Science.  You'll also see pictures of some talented loom band makers.

Let there be light! 4th Class Room 12

7/2/2015

12 Comments

 
Ms Sheridan divided us into small groups of 3 or 4 children. Each group was given a battery, a bulb and two wires. She also left bulb holders and screwdrivers on our desks! We had to discover for ourselves how to make the bulbs light up. It was so much fun! We learned that for electrical energy to work, the wires must make a circle from the battery to the bulb and back again. This is called a circuit. Here are some photos of how we did it.

Acrostic Poems

16/12/2014

 
Sophia from Rm 12 and Emily from Rm 15 have been busy writing acrostic poems. In an acrostic poem, the first letter of each line spells out the subject of the poem. The girls wrote poems using the word "Jingle". You can read  their poems here. 


Jingle by Sophia Rm 12                                                                          
Joyful people,                                                                                             
Ice Cold,                                                                                                   
Nollaig shona duit,                                                                                                                                                             
Goose on the table,
Lights light up,
Everyone goes asleep.


Jingle by Emily Rm 15
Joyful with trifle,
In with soft pudding,
New Years around the corner,
Getting banoffee all hours,
Eating all our gingerbread men. 

Sugar and Spice in Room 12

15/12/2014

Ms Sheridan's class stirred up the spice this festive season with our Sugar and Spice biscuits. We weighed out our ingredients, mixed them all together and, after a 2 hour wait in the fridge, we rolled out our dough. We then cut out some Christmas shapes and baked our delicious biscuits. When they had cooled down, we decorated them with sugar and water icing and topped them off with little silver balls. Gorgeous!
