The Bible

Well done to our two chosen authors who wrote a lovely summary about the bible!


Our Sacred Scriptures:

Today I would like to share about God with you. The Christian Bible is divided into two parts. The first part is the Old Testament, which contains forty-six books. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, as the Israelites agreed on that with God. The second part of the sacred scriptures is the New Testament, which holds twenty-seven books. The New Testament was written in Greek, as all nations agreed on that.

In Christian Mass, the First Reading is read by a follower of God, who takes their reading from the Old Testament, and the Psalm is also from the Old Testament. The Second Reading and the Gospel are taken from the New Testament. So altogether, that makes four instances where we use the Bible in Mass.

The Bible is a very holy book written to spread the word of God and Christianity. It is not just one book but a group of books. Altogether it is split into two main parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains stories that happened before Jesus was born (Before Christ or B.C.). It contains forty-six books. The New Testament was written A.D., and it only contains twenty-seven books. It was written about how our Saviour has come.

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew for the people of Israel and Jesus's people, and the New Testament was written in Greek because it was an agreement with all nations. There are also other books like the Gospels, written by the Four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. There are also Psalms written by people like King David. Prophets are people who were sent to tell people that Jesus was coming. A well-known prophet is John the Baptist, Jesus's cousin. The Bible is a very precious book for Christians all over the world. Thank you for reading.

Visit from Garda Gerard Naughton

During the month of May, we had the pleasure of welcoming Garda Gerard Naughton to our school for an important talk on internet safety and drug awareness. He shared valuable information about how to stay safe online, including how to protect our personal information, recognise online dangers, and use social media responsibly. Garda Naughton was very engaging and took the time to answer all of our questions. We are confident about how to stay safe both online and in everyday life.      

Comprehension Strategies

Reading Comprehension Strategies  In Third Class, we have really enjoyed creating hand symbols to help us remember and use our reading comprehension strategies. Each hand symbol reminds us of a different strategy. We also came up with some sentence starters that we can use when we are talking about our strategies during reading. Predicting I suppose.. From what I know, I don’t think… I predict that… will happen next. That’s not what I thought would happen. Maybe… will happen because… I wonder if.. I think… will happen because.. Creating Images When I read this I can see… I can taste.. I can see.. I can see this picture in my head.. it looks like. When I read this I imagine.. I can smell.. I can hear.. I can touch.. Declunking Think of another word that makes sense. Sound out and blend the sounds together. Read on. Look for parts you know. Reread. Ask yourself “Does this make sense?” I didn’t understand this part… I’m confused about… There is a word/ phrase/ idea that is confusing m...

Our Class Wins First Place in Art Competition!

  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.
