This month, 6th class have gotten up to lots of new and interesting things. Keep reading to find out more!

Coffee Morning:

On the 19th of September we had our very first coffee morning. As soon as we found out about it we were straight to work preparing recipes and posters. Everything we did paid off as our coffee morning was a huge success. We raised 820 euro for Irish Guide Dogs. Thanks to everyone who came! (By Alice)

Cross Country:

Another activity was cross country training and event. There were lots of practices, including 1km runs, hill sprints and obstacle courses – some sessions even taken by Pro Runner Johnny Hogan! When it came to the real thing we ran in multiple heats and categories. We had some great performances for our 6th class runners – I would give them to you but there are just too many to name!

Stop Motion:

On iPads this month, 6th class have been learning how to do stop motion. We got in to groups of two and created back drops and characters and a story board. We then made our own stop motion videos. It was really fun! (By Kate)

French:

We have also started learning some Francais with Ms Forrest. So far we have learned how to count to 10, introduce ourselves, some greetings and a few games and songs. We have really been enjoying it! (By Kayla)

PE Games:

We learned lots of new games this month in PE like Bumball, Strategeicki and Handball. Bumball is like bench ball but you play it sitting down. There are two teams and the aim is to get as many people on your bench as you can by passing the ball to the person sitting on the bench. Whichever team has the most people on their bench at the end wins! (By Maeve)

Junior Yard:

With a new year comes new responsibilities and this year is no different. 6th class have been excellent as helpers in the Junior Yard. They have helped the teachers on duty and helped to settle our new junior infants in to school. We would be lost without them! Thank you 6th class!

In conclusion we’ve had a really great first month. From crazy coffee mornings to hard work in the classroom. I personally think we’re shaping up to be an amazing Class of 2026! (By Ava M)
