There was great fun in Ms Penston’s class trying out the green screen for the first time. Children read about An Aimsir and will add the background shortly. Stay tuned for results…..
Celebrating #Wordsearchday today with a little competition! Well done to those whose names were pulled from the hat! We discussed why word searches were beneficial and students’ answers included; scanning for information, spelling, reading, vision and knowledge! Great answers!
We are embracing the new primary maths curriculum and with this in mind, we are posing the following challenges for children to work at over the next week. Answers to be in the box by Friday 19th .
Questions are graded by class level.
There may be more than one right answer. Likewise, we don’t mind if children have the wrong answer once they engage in the process of problem solving. We would like answer sheets to include rough work, this could be pictures, numbers or words. The challenges are just that, so they shouldn’t be too easy! However if your child is really struggling at their class level problem, they may like to drop a level. Participation is more important. Don’t forget to put your name on your sheet! We will look at answers and share how we solved them at assembly and will have a little prize for those whose sheets are pulled from the problem box.
We thank all the Junior Achiever Elavon volunteers who finish up today and over the last few weeks. The children had a great time with this civics programme and it was lovely to have parents facilitate.
Well done to Saoirse, Sonia, Jessica and Alison who composed a lovely letter to go with their cheque for €2,142.45 to Unicef on foot of their recent Santa Dash. We value the student voice greatly here in Scoil Ghormáin Naofa.
