International Day in 5th Class

by

We celebrated the many cultures represented in our classroom. All the children presented Digital Projects on a country of their choice – where they were born, where their parents were born or a country they were interested to learn about. Many children also created 3D projects based on their chosen country. We learned a lot from each other.

Matthew and Haris presented a great project on Lithuania. Matthew also created a 3D Lithuanian castle and Haris drew a picture of the castle
Harkaur presented a wonderful written project all about Indian culture. We all enjoyed the dancing!
Liliana taught us some Polish words. She also drew a picture and explained the salt mines to us.
Annie and Rochelle worked collaboratively on a project based on Italy. Rochelle drew a wonderful picture of the Colosseum.
Ben and Richard did a lot of research on Russia. Richard created a 3D rocket. He drew inspiration from Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut who was the first human to journey into outer space.
Albin did a great project on India. He also created a 3D Eiffel Tower, made using only paper and tape.
Luke presented a great project on Australia. We were all very impressed with his art work showing Australia through images.
Dylan did a great presentation on Portugal. He created a 3D construction of Mount Pico, the largest mountain range in Portugal. He told us it is on the Azores.
Ignas told us all about Lithuania in his presentation. He had visited many of the famous landmarks he showed us.
Odhrán did a lot of research about Australia. He presented it very well to the class. We were interested in his facts about Ayers Rock, which is also known as Uluru.
Cuán presented information about Germany. We enjoyed the quiz at the end of the presentation.

Ose taught us all about Nigeria. She brought in 3000 naira, which is about €6.

Science Week in 5th Class

by

Discovering Density : We discussed the word ‘hypothesis’ and wrote down what we expected to happen in the experiment.

We read each step of the method carefully and enjoyed getting involved in the process.

We asked some interesting questions while learning about density. Our results were interesting.

A part of our daily routine in the Senior Haven is to engage in sensory activities. Here some of the pupils made their own stress ball at home. Both the process of making the ball and the final product itself should provide feedback that helps to self-regulate. I love the work the students have produced and am very keen to create my own stress ball myself ☺️

Blue Star Programme
