🌼 May in Our Classroom: A Month Full of Learning and Creativity! 🌼

May was a busy and exciting month in our classroom! The children were engaged in a wide variety of learning activities across different subjects, and we’re so proud of their enthusiasm and creativity.

⚖️ Maths Fun with Weight, Time, and Data

In Maths, we explored the topic of weight — estimating, comparing, and measuring different objects using grams and kilograms. The children loved getting hands-on with scales! We also took a closer look at time and data. We practiced reading timetables and created our own simple surveys, turning the results into colorful bar charts and pictograms.

📖 A New Novel Adventure Begins

We began reading our new novel ' The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark', and the class has been captivated by the story so far. The children are doing a fantastic job discussing characters, making predictions, and diving into the plot. It’s lovely to see their reading confidence and comprehension skills continue to grow.

🎙️ A Visit from Storyteller Niall de Búrca

We were lucky to welcome the incredible Niall de Búrca to our school this month! His storytelling session was a magical experience — full of laughter, imagination, and wonder. The children were completely absorbed, and many were inspired to try telling stories of their own afterward.

🎨 Creative Arts: Sailboats & Town Design

In Art, creativity was in full sail! We made beautiful sailboats, each one unique and colorful. As part of our SESE work, we also designed our own towns — thinking about buildings, roads, parks, and where people might live and work. The results were imaginative and thoughtful. Future town planners in the making!
