On Wednesday 10th June, we travelled by bus to Portlick Scout Camp in Athlone for our school tour and what a fantastic day we had! We participated in a range of activities including an obstacle course, zip line, climbing wall, gladiator challenge, archery, inflatables, field sports, kayaking, water gun fight and water slide! We had a super time!

On Monday 11th May, children from 1st and 2nd class travelled to ATU in Galway to participate in the Galway Lego League exhibition. We worked so hard for weeks in school to create codable Lego models which we made using Lego Spike. The theme was 'Unearthed' and here are some pictures from the day!

What better way to welcome the spring than to do some planting!

On Friday 13th March, we celebrated all things Irish in our school by having our annual 'Lá Glas Ceolchoirm'. This was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our heritage and culture and we thoroughly enjoyed the day! 

On Friday 13th February, we celebrated Grandparent's Day. We had a Prayer Service in the hall and then we welcomed our Gransparent's to our classroom to play some games with us. We had a super day!

We celebrated Friendship Week in our school from 9th - 13th February. We participated in Reading Buddies with 5th and 6th class. We went on Whole School Walk. Our class colour was 'red' and we wore it with pride on Thursday! We made loombands with 5th & 6th class! We listened to stories with friendship as their theme including 'Giraffes Can't Dance', 'The Squirrels who Squabbled', 'The Rainbow Fish' and 'Have you filled a Bucket today?'.

What a great week we had!

Thanks to 5th & 6th class, and their teacher Ms. Porter, for inviting us to their class and for helping us make St. Brigid's Crosses. We had a great time! 

Last week Science week was celebrated across Ireland. We also celebrated it here in 1st class. Every day we learned about a 'Scientist of the Day' and a 'Science Fact of the Day'. We focused on celebrating the many wonderful Irish Scientists that have contributed greatly to Science. We carried out experiments and culminated the week with a visit to the Galway Atlantaquaria where we partook in a workshop and had a tour of the aquarium! It was a fantastic day out!

We recently celebrate Maths Week in 1st class. We engaged in a range of activites including class games, an online quiz, and much more! We also visited 3rd and 4th class who had prepared some Maths activities for us to play. What a great week we had!

Things got very spooky in Rang I on 23rd October as we all dressed up in our Halloween costumes to raise money for the wonderful Temple Street Children's Hospital. We had a great time at the school disco!

We had a busy start to the year in Rang I. We have learned lots across all curricular areas. Have a look at some things we have been doing!
