On Monday St. Kieran’s visited St. Peter’s for the second time this year to take play a friendly football match.  Both teams had children from different classes and a special mention goes to the girls on each team who ran rings around the boys! Kathleen and Kelly Anne for St. Kieran’s and Abbi for St. Peter’s  played brilliantly. The result was a draw in the end with both schools winning one match each. The next time the schools will meet will be on Monday the 28th of April! We can’t wait for our next set of matches. Thanks to Paddy, the best coach ever! By the boys... 

A couple of weeks ago, we were thrilled and excited to get news that we’d won a prize from STEPS for our work during Engineer’s Week. Sam, AaronG, LukeOB and Davy from 5th class had seen Scientific Sue in action at the Intel Regional Finals of the Mini-Scientist and they raised the excitement levels by telling everyone how cool her show was! You can check out her website here – we highly recommend her show! One of the coolest things about the prize was that we were allowed to invite other schools to join in the fun. The first session of the day was at 9.45.  

In March we did a LOT of work on data during our maths lessons. We found out that data is showing information in lots of different ways. We used pictograms, tally charts and bar charts. Bar charts were our favourites ( “Yum” said Adam!) We worked in teams of 2 to ask the whole school what was their favourite break time fruit? They could choose between an apple, orange or banana. We made tally charts in our copies when we asked each class. Next we went back to our class and made bar charts from the information. Then we made giant posters to show every class’s choice of fruit. We... 

This week Johnny, Arturas, Nathan K  and Ryan  made huge improvements in their spellings and tables tests. They are working hard to be the best and we know that they are doing their learning homework every night. Ms. Whyte popped in to our room to  congratulate the boys and give them  all prize stickers. Well Done boys, keep it up!  

Arturas has yet again student of the week! He has worked very hard to know his spellings, tables and reading words every day! He has had full attendance this week and completed his homework every night! Well done Arturas!!  

We celebrated Daffodil Day today by making our own daffodils! They are very easy to make, you could  even try it at home! Here’s Ryan to tell you “How to”! “We got a yellow piece of card and we traced our hands with pencil. Next we cut out our hand prints. Then we folded them in the middle and put the straws in  the middle too. We sellotaped the straw inside. After that we added green leaves to the stem. We are going to give them to our Mam’s for Mother’s day on Sunday because they are so beautiful!”  

Last week’s student of the week in Ms. Mitchell’s class was Arturas. Arturas worked very hard all week and got 90% in both his spellings and tables test on Friday! You can see them outside our classroom because they are also this week’s “work of the week”. Well done Arturas, keep it up!
