Coinciding with Maths Week 2020, 5th and 6th Classes went on a Maths Trail!  They used lots of mathematical skills from Numbers to Shapes and Space, from Measures to Data!!  We are so lucky to be able to use the environment to help us to learn!!

Senior Infants and First Class enjoy making new words!

Some brand new library books! Children were delighted to see some of their favourite authors among the new stock!

2nd, 3rd and 4th kept the autumnal theme going with their forest paintings!

Autumn Art in 5th and 6th class was inspired by the work of Vincent Van Gogh. His painting ‘Into the Woods’ was used as a stimulus for the children to create their own interpretations!

‘The eyes are the window to the soul’ and this is so important these days with  much of our faces covered with masks. The pupils of 2nd, 3rd and 4th made their own masked selfies which opened out to reveal their true, fun, talented and energetic selves!

2nd 3rd and 4th made the most of the beautiful Indian Summer during their outdoor art lesson.

5th & 6th had their hearts racing after completing a mile of the school while competing tightly against one another!

Looking forward to lovely colourful flowers in springtime!

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th classes enjoy practising mindfulness and yoga each day. There are various different poses involved such as the Tree, the Triangle, Stretch Armstrong, the Pigeon and the Chair to name but a few!  So good for our bodies and our minds!!

Children enjoyed a lesson on Well-being  while outdoors on a beautiful sunny day recently. They took a stroll through our beautiful woodland walk, enjoying the scenery while observing the various different types of trees and leaves.
