ART WORK

Have a look at some of the amazing art work from Ms. Keane's 1st Class.

We painted ourselves as Ravenswell Minions and we learned about the artist Andy Warhol and painted some Pop Art.

We are also supporting the Irish Team in the Rugby World Cup. We put our own heads on some Irish Jerseys.







Spelling Bees

Well done 1st class on some great spelling this week.

Celebrating Eid

Today was a very special day for the Muslim community in our school as they celebrated Eid - the end of Ramadan. Maysa and Afsa from 1st and 2nd class dropped in with their family to show us their traditional dress for the day. After this they would go home for a feast of biryani and a celebration with their families.

A Good Night's Sleep!

Second class have been learning about keeping healthy. Getting a good night's sleep is really important in staying healthy so we decided to make a list of tips to help us do this. We're going to try these at home and see if it makes a difference...

1. Eat healthy food.
2. Get plenty of exercise during the day.
3. Go to bed early (8.00 pm at the latest).
4. Have a good bedtime routine.
5. Turn off the TV/tablet if you have one in your room.
6. Have a clean and comfy bed. 

Extra tip from Ms O'Brien - a bed time story is always a good idea!

We hope you find these tips helpful!

2D Shape Walk

This week we have been learning about 2D shapes. We have learnt that a triangle has three sides and three corners and a rectangle and a square have four sides and four corners. We also learnt that a circle has only 1 side and no corners.

 

On Wednesday Ms. Mulcahy and her class went on a 2D shape walk. We walked all around the school in search of some triangles, squares, rectangles and circles.... and we found lots!

We even had a look in Ms. Breen's office!!!
