This month in First Class

This month in Mr Smyth’s First Class our theme for the month of September is Myself.

In English, Gaeilge, SPHE, History, Geography, Science and Art  we are learning about various aspects of ourselves: from learning about our body in Science, our own unique life history in History, our friendship with others in SPHE, drawing and self-portraits in Art and Me Fein in Gaeilge.

At home you can chat with your child about the theme.

First Class Class Charter

Last week was Good Friends Week and the girls and boys in Mr Smyth’s Class had a fun and busy week.

The class had a visit from Cillian from RTE’s News2Day, which will feature on the television today, Tuesday, 10th September at 4.20pm.

The children were reading the book “Have you filled a bucket today?” and learning about how we can be kind to each other and “fill each others buckets” with kindness.

Check out some of the photos above, which include RTE’s visit to our school and our Class Charter which the children created themselves.
