We really enjoyed Science Week in first class. We completed three experiments exploring how different items react with each other.
We created a baking soda and vinegar powered rocket
Happy Halloween from all 1st class boys and girls!!
We got ready for Halloween this year by making some scary masks during art, learned about the history of Halloween and dressed up for our Halloween party!
We enjoyed Maths Week 2025 in 1st class and took part in lots of maths activities. We played games using our counting and addition skills, investigated Maths Eyes challenges to find maths in everyday objects, investigated and recorded the quantities of sweets in Skittles, completed a maths trail and created our own Maths Eyes challenges.
Thanks to the Abbeyknockmoy Hurling Club for hosting a hurling blitz for 1st, 2nd and 3rd class boys.
1st Class were filled with excitement and pride as they took
on the special responsibility of looking after a clutch of eggs in an incubator
over the last few weeks! From carefully monitoring the temperature to checking
for signs of hatching, the class showed amazing dedication and care. Their
patience and curiosity were finally rewarded last week when the eggs began to
crack open, revealing tiny, fluffy chicks. It was a magical and memorable
experience for everyone, bringing learning to life in a very exciting way!
1st Class have been busy this week measuring lots of different objects with non-standard units of length including paperclips, clothes pegs, counters and our hands!
Internet Safety Day 2025
Today in 1st Class we celebrated Safer
Internet Day! We discussed how the internet can be a great place to
learn new things, play games and listen to music. We also learned the
importance of using the internet safely and making good choices when we are
online!
