Genius Hour

The girls have been working hard on their Genius Hour projects for weeks. When they were ready, they invited other classes and teachers to come and examine their work! Below are their final projects. 

Butterflies

This year we got some caterpillars in the classroom, which turned into butterflies! The girls watched the whole process happen, from caterpillar to chrysalis and eventually emerging Painted Lady butterflies. Once the butterflies were strong enough to fly on their own, we released them out into the school yard. Some of the butterflies didn't want to leave us just yet, so they hung around and posed for some photos!

Tour to Dublinia

Friday 25th March
The girls of Third Class A and B have been learning about Vikings in school and wanted to learn even more by visiting Dublinia in Dublin's city centre. Third Class B wrote very persuasive letters to the principal Ms. Cuthbert and convinced her to let them go! Here are some photos from the trip.

Saint Patrick's Day Fun
​in 3rd Class B

This year at the school Céilí, all of 3rd Class had to get up on the stage and teach the younger girls how to dance An Dreolín! We also recorded our lovely song Beidh Aonach Amarach. 

Arts and Crafts
from Feb & March

Check out some of the lovely art the girls of 3rd Class B have been working on lately... they've been painting pots for their very own Wandering Plants, decorating rocks for the Kindness Rocks Project and creating their very best Claud Monet impressions!  

Fís Gaeilge:
​"An Seomra Codlata Trína Chéile"

This month Third Class B have been busy rehearsing for their first Irish movie..... "An Seomra Codlata Trína Chéile" / "The Messy Bedroom". The girls worked hard to learn their lines and act their hearts out. Enjoy the movie below!  

Valentine's Day

All the girls had great fun this year dancing at the school Valentine's Day Disco. We also made lovely heart-shaped blot art using sponges and cotton wool.
​Happy Valentine's Day from all the girls in Third Class B.

December

Merry Christmas from Third Class B! 
​
In December Third Class B were very busy getting ready for Christmas! The girls loved making their Santa Christmas cards, Christmas tree baubles with their faces on them, and creating and painting their clay decorations. We also had a surprise visit to Axis Theatre where we got to see an Irish play, as well as watching a cosy Christmas movie together. There was also a special surprise from Santa Clause himself when he delivered a toy to each of the girls. 

Science Week 2021

Third Class B have been very busy doing lots of cool science experiments every day this week. On Monday we took some plant cuttings and watched as their roots grew, on Tuesday we discussed how much energy is in warm water vs cold water, on Wednesday we tested household products to clean dirty coins and on Wednesday and Thursday we build explosive volcanoes! 

October 2021

Happy Halloween from 3rd Class B!
​
Third Class B had lots of fun during the build up to Halloween. They painted spooky haunted house silhouettes, took part in the Dublin City Council Halloween poster competition, carved a ghost pumpkin and examined the pulp inside, and had a brilliant Halloween disco on the last day before midterm break! Lots of girls won prizes at the disco for their creative and terrifying Halloween costumes and their crazy dance moves.

Camogie

This week the girls have started their camogie training with instructor Liam. He was very proud of their progress as they practiced three different skills in their first session; taking four steps, ball balances and roll lifts. 

Recount Writing

Lots of the girls in Third Class B made their First Holy Communions this month. It was a very special day, with a party in the school the very next day. Alexia and Layla wrote, edited and typed recounts of their special day and their amazing party. Read their work below.
