Yesterday, the children in 4th Class as part of History lessons took part in a guided tour on The Way We Wore in Collins Barracks Museum. They learned about clothes and how they have changed and how they have stayed the same over the past 300 years.
This week 4th class were making their own angle measuring devices. They discussed different rotations and size of angles- acute, obtuse, straight, reflex and right angles. They displayed the different angles on their devices and measured angles in their Maths books.
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.
We are beyond proud to announce that our talented 4th Class pupils have won the prestigious TUD Space Fest Art Competition! Their incredible lunar base design showcased not only their creativity but also their impressive teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Every pupil played a vital role in both the design and construction of the lunar base, applying the artistic and scientific skills they’ve developed in class. Through careful planning, imaginative thinking, and hands-on collaboration, they brought their vision of a futuristic moon habitat to life.
Adding to the excitement, the class is now eagerly looking forward to exploring their well-earned prize—a class set of Sphero indi Robots, valued at €2,000! These programmable robots will offer them an exciting hands-on experience in coding and robotics.
Winning this competition is a testament to their dedication and enthusiasm, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate their achievement. Well done to all involved—your passion for learning has truly reached for the stars!
