​We have had such a busy January and February! 
In art, we studied the work of two famous artists, Kandinsky and Van Gogh, and we have recreated our own versions of their paintings: Concentric circles and Starry Night. We also experimented with oil and chalk pastels to create wonderful solar systems and pictures of planet earth to link in with our geography and science work.

​We have been doing great Irish and English writing and we love reading our work to our partners when we've finished. They give us great compliments and tips.

We've had so many events this spring. The Sam Maguire cup came to visit our school for a second time and this time we got to hold it! It was so heavy! On pancake day, we got to eat some delicious pancakes and during friendship week we wrote lovely things about each other on posters to take home.

In maths, we have been learning about measurement and have had great fun estimating and measuring the lengths and widths of things in our school and at home. We've also been learning about shape and space. In pairs, we had a drawing challenge where one of us had to describe a picture to our partner (using words like beside, underneath, on top of and lots more) so they could draw it. It was a bit tricky but lots of fun!

In science, we've been learning about different types of materials. This week we tested six objects to see which one was the most absorbent.

What a fun couple of months!

On Friday we had our first GAA training session with our coach Peter. We practised Gaelic football and learned how to bounce the ball and how to solo. We can't wait until next Friday!
