We are learning about.... in Third Class

Have a look at some of the topics we learned about in Spetember and October!

We learned about some Myths and Legends in English. Then we did some Children of Lir inspired pieces in Art. Here are some of our finished products.

In Geography, we talked about our village of Kildalkey and its features. We also practised our mapping skills. Here are some of our first drafts!

In Art, we explored the method of Pointilism. We took great care painting some pictures of Suns as we reminisced about our Summer holidays.

Stone Age Projects in Third Class

In September, Third Class set to work on their first projects of the year. They learned about the Stone Age, and recorded their information in pairs all about what life was like back then. They really enjoyed the process and were very proud of their finished products.

They were excited to invite Mr. O'Neill-Forde in to the classroom to see them and pick a winner. He was really impressed, and spent a long time trying to decide because they were all so good. Millie and Saoirse were delighted with their Homework Passes when they won!

Halloween in Third Class 2024

The children got dressed up in Halloween costumes on the day of the holidays, they looked great!

They also learned about the artist Edvard Munch with their substitute teacher Ms. Smyth, and studied one of his pieces called The Scream. They then used some pastels to create their own spooky versions.

Tree Projects in Third Class

In October, 3rd class learned about lots of different types of trees. They got into small groups and made projects about them. They love projects! It was a great way to learn and remember facts, as well as practise nice handwriting and excellent drawing. They researched themselves in school and at home. Mrs. Halligan came in and chose a winning project, and Caoimhe and Betty got a Homework Pass for being the winners!
