Rang 3 agus 4 2021 - 2022
We've all settled back into school for another new term in Rang 3 and 4 where we've been working hard by ourselves and with our friends in class. Here's a sample of some of the activities we've been doing recently.
Climate Change & Global Warming
Rang 3 and 4 have been very interested in the proceedings at COP26 recently where world leaders have come together to discuss how to prevent global warming. We have been completing projects with the others in our pod on what is global warming, the effects of climate change and how best we can prevent it.
Here's some photos below of the children in their pods working together on their project. These have been displayed in the classroom for others to read and observe.

Learning how to sew
Rang 3 and 4 were learning how to sew in Art this month. They had a piece of hessian material each with their name printed on it. They practised sewing stitches over their name with wool and a plastic sewing needle. This was a very relaxing activity for the class with a few orders possibly going to Santa this year for cross stitch kits.

History projects.
Rang 3 and 4 were learning about Famous People in History recently. They completed some pair work with the people sitting beside them in their pods on various famous people they found interesting. These included: Florence Nightingale, Muhammad Ali, Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King, Helen Keller, Marie Curie, Alexander Graham Bell and Neil Armstrong. Here's a sample of our work below.
Return to in-class learning after the Lockdown.
We were all very pleased to return to school to meet our friends and teachers after we had worked very hard with remote learning during Lockdown.
It was great to get back to learn and do fun things together with our friends in class.
Here's some pictures of some of the recent lessons we have been completing.
Below is a picture of us enjoying the beautiful weather at school and completing our lesson outside on the football pitch.
In group work with our pods we recently re-wrote some well known fairy tales again with our own unique take on the story. Here are some pictures of us brainstorming with our group on what we were going to write. When we were ready we wrote the story together and drew pictures to match. We then presented the story to the others in the class. Afterwards one person from each pod typed up the story and we put them on display outside the classroom with the illustrations matching the story for display.
Science lesson on electricity
We recently completed some experiments with our partners in our pods to understand how electricity works. We had to figure out how to get the bulb to light up using the bulb, batteries and some wires. We had great fun figuring this out.
Making pom-pom birds in Art
In the month of April we were working on the strand of Fabric and fibre in Art.
We learnt how to make our own pom-pom birds.
Here's a sample of a few below.

Rudolph an fia rua
,Rang 3 agus 4 were practising some of their favourite Christmas carols during December.
We learnt 'Rudolph the red nosed reindeer' in Irish.
We also chose another traditional favourite, 'Santa Claus is coming to town'. We accompanied it with Lámh sign language. Many thanks to Ashling, our SNA for helping us with the various signs associated with the song.
