We have been busy!
March 2024 |
Stay connected with all the fun activities of 5th and 6th Class below.
In the Month of March we welcomed Ms. Murphy to our class. Ms. Murphy has been getting to know the boys and girls of 5th and 6th class while putting them through their paces with subjects each day.
Many of the 5th and 6th class girls and boys did St. Peter's proud by representing our school in the first football tournament of the year. Well done to all involved, and a special thank you to Mr. Lowe for organising, coaching and managing both the girls and boys teams.
For Science Week we engaged in a great variety of activities. The messiest of all, was of course our 'Egg Drop Challenge'.
The Children put their ideas together to engineer a contraption that would allow their raw egg to survive numerous drops, from various heights. Many of the contraptions were successful, allowing their eggs to land safely, unfortunately, not all were so lucky. We also had a visit from a local computer engineer, who demonstrated and discussed how computers were originally engineered and what the future of computer engineering may look like. Hopefully some of our class group will be at the forefront of computer technology in the near future.
For Seachtaine Na nGailege 5th and 6th class also performed an excellent rendition of 'Lig Me Saor - Wake Me Up.' The children made a wonderful effort to not only learn the new song As Gaeilge, but to accompany it with an excellent Ukulele performance in the Oak Centre. A big thank you to all of the teachers who helped in preparation of this excellent performance. Maith sibh gach duine!
