Ms Mitchell's Fourth Class

Last week, we wrapped up our Spanish lessons with Ausias. We've really enjoyed learning the language, and one of the highlights was making and tasting delicious Spanish delicacies together. We're excited to keep using our Spanish in the future!    

We have been learning all about coding during Maths lessons for the past few weeks. Scratch is so much fun and we have created some wonderful games ourselves. We have learned all about plotting points on the x and y axis as well as understanding how coordinates help control movement and direction in our projects. It’s been exciting to see how Maths and coding work together to bring our ideas to life on the screen!  We also discovered how electricity can flow through our bodies to complete a circuit. By using this closed circuit, we were able to showcase our coded banana keyboard with the help of a micro:bit.

Congratulations to the children who participated in the Galway Chess Final at the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway last Wednesday. It was a wonderful experience to spend the day playing chess with other students from schools across Galway. The event provided a great opportunity to challenge ourselves, improve our skills, and enjoy friendly competition. We also had a fantastic time meeting and making new friends. Well done to all involved!

Bhain na páistí an-taitneamh as dul isteach sa seomra ranga chun scéalta simplí Gaeilge a léamh do na naíonáin shinsearacha. Léigh na naíonáin shinsearacha a gcuid leabhar Gaeilge freisin, agus bhí an-spraoi acu ag roinnt a gcuid scileanna léitheoireachta. Le linn Lá Glas, ghlac na páistí páirt i dTráth na gCeist spreagúil agus bhain siad an-sult as. Chríochnaíomar an tseachtain le Céilí spleodrach sa chlós in éineacht leis an scoil ar fad. Bhí sé iontach an cultúr agus an teanga a cheiliúradh le chéile!
