5th and 6th class have been maximising their maths skills using a brilliant new online learning centre called “The Khan Academy” Each pupil has a profile and are working at a level that suits them! Each pupil can generate points by practicing maths skills. They can earn more points by mastering that skill. Both classes have two separate competitions on Khan up to the mid Term Break.
The Ipads and laptops have proved to be brilliant resources for using Khan Academy!
5th and 6th class have been busy during the past 2 weeks learning the skill of shading. The pupils have made some fabulous detailed drawings of leaves and objects, detailing these with the shading skills they have been learning.
Well done to all the pupils in the school for raising €115.90 for the very hardworking charity GOAL. It was great to see so many different jerseys of all different sports groups!
We have decided that we will run the “Turkeys For Christmas” project for a second consecutive year. The pupils of fifth and sixth class will be rearing 25 turkeys up to Christmas. A certain quantity will be sold at a fixed price and the remaining turkeys will be sold at auction close to Christmas. Fifth and Sixth class would like to thank John and Brian O’Neill for their help with the project once again. We would also like to thank the Parents Association for providing the loan to make the project possible!
Dont forget to get your turkey from Fifth and Sixth folks! Spread the word!
