Welcome to First Class 2024/25

Christmas Play

We had so much fun rehearsing and performing our Christmas Nativity play over the last few weeks. We really enjoyed performing  the show in front of our parents and grandparents.

Cinema Trip

We had great fun on our trip to the cinema a few weeks ago. We watched 'The Magic Reindeer' and enjoyed popcorn and drinks

​Santa Visit

We were very excited when Santa Claus came to visit our school a couple of weeks ago. We asked him lots of questions and he gave each of us a Christmas annual which we have been enjoying using in class over the last few weeks.

​Christmas Art

We have really enjoyed doing Christmas Art in class over the last few weeks. We have made our own Christmas tree and decorated it with baubles, drawn 'Elves on the Shelf' and designed Christmas stockings.

​Hurling coaching

We enjoyed a hurling coaching session on the school field with Eoghan O Neill, John Mc Cadden and transition year students from Coláiste Colmcille. We learned how to hold the hurl correctly and practised striking, catching and balancing skills. 

​Autumn Walk

We enjoyed going for a walk around Mundy's field to identify signs of Autumn in our environment. 

iPads

We have really enjoyed using the iPads. In recent weeks we have been using the 'Geoboards' and 'Shape Patterns' apps to help with our understanding of 2D shapes in Maths.

Construction Toys

We have been getting creative with construction toys such as Lego, Magnatiles, K'nex, Unifix cubes and Geomags.

Art

We did lots of painting in Art throughout the first half-term and experimented loads with colour mixing.

Games

We have had great fun playing a huge variety of games to develop our communication and social skills.

Jigsaws

We enjoyed working together to make jigsaws and develop our co-operative skills.
