Ms Armstrong's Third Class

  Third Class travelled by bus to Kilcornan Hall to see Seamount College’s Transition Year musical, Sister Act . The students were excited for the trip and loved the lively performance. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show and had a fantastic day out.

Third Class had a wonderful science fair during Science Week! All classes came to visit and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The children created scientific questions and prepared their experiments. Each group displayed the materials needed and explained the procedure to visitors so that they could recreate the experiments at home.    

  We had great fun using paint, masking tape and glitter to create some winter birch trees. We also learned facts about the trees. Did you know birch trees can be found in the northern half of the world? They usually grow about 15-20 metres high. The coal-tits and goldfinches love the seeds of the birch trees. People use birch tree wood to make furniture, flooring and plywood! 

  Our 3rd Class has won First Place in the Calf & Cuckoo Art Competition !   Their artwork, created as part of the Burrenbeo Trust’s place-based learning programme, was showcased during the Winterage Weekend Cattle Drive at Irish Natural Stone in the Burren. The judges were deeply impressed by the students’ knowledge of the Burren landscape and their creative expression of what makes our place special. This is a fantastic achievement and the children were delighted to hear the news! We’ll receive a class prize and the students’ artwork back in the spring, along with a school visit and field trip later in the year.
