September in Our Classroom🍂

September has been a very busy and exciting month in our classroom! We created colourful autumn artwork🎨 and worked on our Mé Féin 🙋‍♂️theme as Gaeilge, where the children drew wonderful self-portraits and spoke about themselves. We created projects on different countries in Europe🇪🇺. We also made “Dream Jars”💭 to share our hopes for the year ahead. 

In English, the class practised report and recount writing, using the Chromebooks💻 to type up their work. This has helped everyone to get more confident with technology, typing documents, and researching articles online. We explored favourite animals🦦 and enjoyed a Ryder Cup activity!⛳️

We have been keeping active with “Wellbeing Wednesdays.” On these days, homework is replaced with something mindful like going for a walk, helping out at home, or simply taking time to relax plus a twominute dance party to finish the day with fun and energy!🧘

It’s been a wonderful start to the school year!
