When I grow up I want to be a....projects in First class
Over the past few weeks, the first class have been working extremely hard on their first individual project. They each chose a job based on what they want to be when they grow up. The children researched the job, finding out facts on what the job is all about. They designed posters using their information gathered. We had a presentation day in school where the class dressed up or brought in items related to their chosen job. Pupils from the other classes visited our room looking at our projects. There was a fantastic effort put in by every child. We are very proud of you. Keep up the great work!!!!

Friendship Week
Here are the winners of our anti-bullying competitions. Well done to everyone who took part.
Friendship week was celebrated from 1st-5th of April. Our theme was 'Our friendships are blooming'. During the week we took part in various friendship activities such as random acts of kindness, buddy reading, art work, circle time, fun games, etc. On Friday each class selected 2 pupils to win our good friend award. Well done to everyone for showing excellent friendship.
Buddy reading; 5th class worked with 1st class and 4th class came and worked with Senior Infants.
As part of Friendship Week 2nd and 6th did some buddy reading. 6th class picked some of their books to share with second. They used comprehension strategies such as prediction, making connections and questioning. Both classes had a great time.

A huge congratulations to Mai and Eimear in 6th class. They have been selected to represent the West Schools team, as part of the Eithne Neville competition. They will play against the City team on May 8th in the Gaelic Grounds. Go néirí an t-ádh libh cailíní!

Larkin Shield
Well done to Mai McKenna, who was part of the winning Larkin Shield Girls' Football team, who put in a fantastic performance to clinch the cup in last night's final at the Gaelic Grounds.
Irish Dancing Star
A Star is Born right here in Ballingarry as Rudi in Fourth regularly participates (and does rather well) in a lot of feiseanna around the country. Here he is with a trophy he won this weekend. Great to see all his hard work and dedication paying off.
Building homes
Ms.Shelton's class have been very busy recently exploring the theme of homes. We have looked at different types of homes all around the world, we learnt more about our own homes. We also looked at homes different animals have. For our Art lesson, we collected recyclable materials and used them to construct a home. We can't wait to show you what we made. We are going to paint our homes next week so check back to see our finished products.
Food tasting in first class
The first class had a very exciting science lesson last week. We investigated fruit. Some of the fruit was nice but some were very bitter!!! Can you guess some of the fruit we tasted?
