Solar System

Last week we made loads of lovely textures on little squares of paper. This week we cut them out to make a solar system. Some people added a few newly discovered planets! Each painting is completely original which makes our work even more interesting. Budding artists in third class for sure!

Putting the final touches to our India project.

Fabric from India

Trish Murphy — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:49:56 +0000

Third class had so much fun looking at the fabrics I brought back from India. I showed them the 5 metres of beautiful silk worn as a Sari by Indian women. The children made out a list of things they would like to research next week;

Religions in India
Food eaten in India
History of the origins of India
The monsoon floods in India
How they live their lives
Music in India
The president of India
Insects and wildlife in India
Important monuments in India

An impressive list! I can’t wait to see the outcome.

This week is 3rd class we have begun to learn about India. So far some of the interesting facts we’ve learned are

India is located in South Asia
It lies between Pakistan, China and Nepal
It is customary to greet other people by putting your hands together, nodding your head slightly ad saying ‘Namaste’.
The population is 1,250,253,662. Can you try say that number?!

This week our art work was inspired by the traditional Indian art, Rangoli.Have a look a some samples:

FAI Schools Futsal

A big WELL DONE to all the boys and girls who competed in the FAI Futsal Tournament this week. The competition was held in Newbridge Sports Centre over two days with the boys competing Thursday and the girls team out in action today.

The boys played three matches with some wonderful performances. After coming second in their group they were unfortunate that only the first team went on to the qualifiers.

Meanwhile the girls played six matches with great effort and determination. Sadly, after a tense final match they had to settle for a 1-1 draw in a game where they would have needed to win for a spot in the final.

Boys’ Team: Terry, Dan, Mark, James, Jay, Finbar, Tom and David.

Girls’ Team: Tara, Lauren, Gloria, Hannah, Orlaith, Nikita, Halo and Malak.

Overall a fun and enjoyable day was had by all and 3rd class are already looking forward to being involved in the competition again next year!
