Congratulations to the three pupils from 4th and 5th Class who were winners in the TUD “Women in Space” STEM poster competition. The children created posters about famous women involved in space exploration. One of the pupils won overall winner across all the schools who entered. We are extremely proud of the children’s efforts. Well done!

Using the stimulus of a spooky Halloween image from their class Music book, the children in 4th Class put together some lovely compositions in class using chosen percussion instruments and their voices.

Today, 4th Class visited the Henrietta St Museum and journeyed through time from the wealth of the 1700s with Lord Viscount Molesworth and his wife Mary Jenney Usher through to the poverty of the tenements of the 1900s.

They learned about how the house changed through the centuries and of the different lives of those who lived there through story and artefacts as they travelled from room to room.

In the weeks leading up to the trip, the class have been reading about the resident’s lives and watched first hand video and audio accounts of former tenement residents.

Check out some of the pictures below from their trip.

The children even recreated a photograph from the street from 1924 (101 years ago!).

This month in Art the children are working on Drawing. They are focussing on 3-D work with one point perspective drawing of city streetscapes and 3-D hand art.

Check out their work below.

A huge thanks to Mr Gohery who led a Tin Whistle after schools club with pupils from 5th and 6th Class. They performed this week. Well done to all involved!
