This week we started working on a garden for 6th class.

We planted pumpkins and sweet pea flowers.

Writing on the Titanic

In class last week we pretended that we were reporters interviewing survivors from the Titanic who arrived into New York on the Carpathia. We wrote newspaper reports on what the survivors told us.

We also wrote biographies on some of the passengers like Joesph LaRoche and Captain Edward Smith.

Onomatopeias

This week we are learning about Onomatopeias. An onomatopeia is a word that imitates the sound it describes. We wrote our own onomatopeia poems and designed posters for some onomatopeia words.

Titanic

This week and last week we have been learning about the Titanic. Saturday 14th April was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. We have been doing lots of work on the Titanic. Captain Edward John Smith even came for a visit.

Easter Trip

Quasar and Bowling 

This week our class won the best class in the yard. For the last few weeks our principal Sean has been giving points to the best class in the yard at break and lunch time. We had to be very good and line up quietly. The prize was a trip to Leisure World in Ennis for bowling and quasar. We had a great day out playing bowling and quasar.
