Ms. Spillane's 6th Class B
Welcome to 6th Class B!
Tune in here to see our best bits all year!
6th Class B have had a very busy half term. Our young scientists in 6th Class B had a blast during Science Week to kick off the term! From disappearing ghosts and leak proof bags to slime, telescopes and circuits, 6th Class B immersed themselves in the fascinating world of science. 6th B had a very active few weeks too, participating in Cycle Safety with Noel and John and football with Dave. 6th Class B also delved into the world of figurative language and really went “the extra mile”! The class showcased their newfound skills in poetry and short stories as well as on their first Google Slides project, leaving us all impressed by their “mindblowing” creativity! 6th B showed huge generosity, being so helpful in the school organising 34 shoeboxes for the annual Team Hope Shoebox Appeal, even staying behind after school to help out! 6th B are looking forward to continuing to work hard and play hard in the new year! 6th B would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
6th Class B have enjoyed a very busy start to the new year with trips to Secondary Schools, our swimming sessions at James' Gate and lots of activities back at base. Our themes for this year so far have been Teamwork, the Industrial Revolution, Our Locality and Fantasy. It was great to merge two themes together lately when we got to meet and do a Q&A session with Ann Murtagh, author of the Climbing Boys. We've enjoyed various other activities since September too like FunDay Friday (although we still must splash Ms. Spillane some day!), organising the Rugby World Cup competition, the Iveagh Markets exhibition, Maths Week and this week has been a ghoulishly good Halloween build up! Have a nice break everyone, stay safe!

January
On the 25th of January we celebrated Grandparents Day in 5th B. We went to mass first thing in the morning, then we invited our grandparents into school. We made some lovely poems and cards to give to all our visitors. We got the chance to ask our grandparents lots of interesting questions and hear some stories from their childhood. It was definitely a day to remember for all.

December
We got into the Christmas spirit very early in 5th B. As part of art we made lots of Christmas decorations to decorate our classroom and made some sock snowmen to bring home to decorate our houses. We focused on 2D shapes in mathematics. We also received a very special invitation to take part in a Tree Decorating Ceremony in Christchurch Cathedral on Monday Friday 2nd December. The children worked very hard on creating their own Christmas decorations to place on the trees. We were also very lucky to have our very own tour of the cathedral while we were there.

November
Science week took place from the 14th -18th November. Our class carried out many interesting experiments throughout the week . Below you can see some of boys and girls building their own bridges in pairs and completing the skittles experiment. As well as science week 5th class began working on their SOLAS business projects with 5th A and the staff of the Hyatt Hotel. The kids were asked to come up with their own product that the would present to the judges on the 14th December at the Hyatt Hotel. Finally, we had out Write to Read celebration on the 24th of November. As part of this special day our parents/guardians were invited in to school to view our excellent writing.
September/ October
We had a very busy and fun first term here in 5th Class B. Both our boys and girls attended a football blitz with Warrenmount which they really enjoyed. The boys even got the chance to play against some of the past pupils of our school. In class we wrote some very interesting narratives in September and some tasty recipes and instructions in October. One of our class highlights this term was our whole school fun day which happened on the 23rd of September. The children got the opportunity to take part in yoga, bowls, dance and other cool activities which even involved splashing the teachers!! Two members of our class Hudson and Kayden also represented our class very well in a recent chess tournament in Clogher Road Community College. Have a look at some of our snaps below..

Conversational Irish for at home:
Hi there, I hope you are all keeping well at this time. What I have put up here just below is the Irish terms and phrases that the kids know. To make it easier and more accessible for everyone, what I've done is put up the Irish term in black, the translation in blue and the term/phrase written phonetically in purple. This will hopefully prove helpful in keeping some Irish conversation going at home. It would be great if you could spend some time speaking with your child, using these terms and phrases every couple of days just to make sure they are using them consistently. Thank you so much and I hope you're doing ok.
Black: Irish term/phrase. Blue: Translation. Purple: Phonetically (How they sound)

Outline for January 2021
Hello there,
I hope you are keeping safe and well during this period. This is a quick email to outline how I will continue to work with your child during the lockdown.
I hope you got to collect your childs work pack. This has everything your child will need over the next few weeks.
Every Monday morning I will post the work for the week on the school website (scoiltreasanaofa.ie- 3rd class page). This will contain all the work to be done for the week. It is important to understand that this work is a guide. I understand that times are difficult for people, so do not put yourself under pressure to get through it all if you can't, do what you can. All the work that's given will be from the pack that was collected today.
In addition to this I will be holding 3 zoom calls a week. Two of these will be based around English: The children have a new reader in their pack and I will hold reading groups (Just like in class) with the children based on their book. Ms O Gorman will work with the other group for this. The other zoom call will cover both Maths and Irish.
I will send out the invitations to these zoom calls through email prior to the call.
The calls will take place Monday, Wednesday and Thursday next week at 10:30am. Mondays call will be to discuss the packs and what is expected for the reading groups. Each call will last approx 35mins. Again I understand that times are tough so if you could do your best I would really appreciate it.
Outside of this if you have any questions do not hesitate to email me and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
If I have any updates I will email them onto you.
Thanks again for your time. Stay safe and look after yourself.
Kindest regards,
Conor Nolan.

Hello Second Class,
Congratulations on winning the quiz yesterday! Hard luck Ms. Duggan :-(
Well done to those of you who took part in the fun!
I can't believe this is your last day in Second Class, you all worked very hard since September! I am very proud of all the work you did since the school closure, I know it was difficult but you all made an amazing effort to do your best to complete online tasks or work that I sent you. You are a great group of children and you were a pleasure to teach this year. I have so many fond memories in the classroom with you all. I am sad our year together was cut short but we made the most of it, your Christmas Show was excellent performance and we all had so much fun putting it together.
I hope you continue to write and read lots of books during the Summer. I wish you all the best in 3rd Class. Those of you making your First Holy Communion in July I can't wait to see you on your special day.
I hope you and your family have a lovely Summer!

Meet the 'Three Big Bears' at San Diego Zoo, Chinook and Tatqiq on the land, Kalluk in the water. Big male Kalluk and female Tatqiq are twins. They were born in Alaska in 2000. Their mother wore a radio collar as a study bear, and when her signal did not move for a period of time, researchers went looking for her and found the three month old twins alone in the den. We will be watching live videos of these bears tomorrow!
Tuesday 23rd June

Hello second class,
Well done all of you who counted the amount of activities you did yesterday. Remember you earn one star per activity. The child who earns the most stars this week can challenge me to do any activity from the list below (go easy on me). However my dog Prince is quite lazy so I don't think activity 7 would work!
Don't forget to check out the activities on the Active School Flag page on this website (go to home>about us>Active School Flag). Did anyon beat Mr. Nolan or Ms. McCann yesterday? Today you are up against Mr. Kelly and Ms. Duggan.
Please send me lots of photos/videos the activities you take part in this week.
Have fun!

The Abandoned Lighthouse
Once upon a time there were two friends named Lorla and Alisha. One glorious day their class went on a school trip to the countryside.
The trip was great fun, until Alisha saw an old looking lighthouse in the distance miles away. She wanted to explore it but it was too far away.
Several months later Lorla and Alisha [and their Mom] decided to return to the same place the lighthouse was situated. Mom relaxed while the children headed towards the old lighthouse. As soon as they got close to the lighthouse a storm was approaching. Lorla was devastated to go back, but Alisha wouldn't let her go.
Minutes later the storm got even worse, it was so bad that it was almost as bad as a bucket of water poured over your head except it was repeated again and again.
The girls were soaked. That didn’t stop them, they eventually got to the lighthouse. It was an abandoned lighthouse. The children had great fun exploring the lighthouse, it was full of ancient things. They had so fun, they forgot that they were wet. Then they went to their Mom, in the meantime the weather had changed a lot, it was very sunny and bright.
The sun dried up their clothes, until there was nothing but a drop of water on their clothes. But the memories of exploring the abandoned lighthouse lasted forever.

Hello Hudson, Jamie, Kayden, Kayla, K.J, Libby, Maisie,Mia, Michael, Ray, Tianna and Zuzanna,
Today was the special date you should have been making your First Holy Communion. Fr. Alois and I were so proud of how hard you all worked to learn your prayers. We are all very disappointed not to be celebrating your First Holy Communion today. I know how much you and your parents were looking forward to this special day. We will celebrate this special day soon. I am thinking of you all today. I lit candles in my local church for each of you and for St. Teresa's Parish.
Below is a very special message from St. Teresa's Parish for all of you.
Thinking of you all and missing you lots today,
Ms. Slammon

Joint Winners of our Art competition are Zuzanna and Simin.
04/04/20
Good afternoon everyone,
Well done those of you who already logged into Oxford Owl! Don’t forget to write down the titles of the books you are reading as we will have a reading competition after Easter! Maya won our last reading competition! I wonder who will win the next?
Let me tell you boys and girls, it was a challenging job selecting the winner for our Art competition. The standard was so high, I had to get other teachers involved to help me pick a winner. After much pondering, I decided there had to be joint winners. Well done to everyone who entered, I decided to put all the entries up on the website because you all made such an incredible effort. The joint winners are Zuzanna and Simin! Zuzanna your daffodil is amazing and Simin I love the Gingerbread man’s house and excellent job with your cursive writing. Well done girls!
This week you were all very busy on IXL, congratulations Mia, Michael and Libby I can see you three have spent the most time on IXl this week. I know some of you are working from other worksheets I gave you instead of IXL so well done to you guys also!
I know you are now on your ‘Easter holidays’ and it is difficult not going places and seeing your friends but don’t worry when all of this is over I promise you we will make up for it with extra soccer and a class party because you all deserve it.
Finally, I want to say well done to your parents during this difficult time! You are all doing an amazing job!
Please if any of you need to contact me do not hesitate.
Stay safe,
Ms. Slammon

Dear Parents and Second Class,
I am sure you are busy working away on your homework packets. I am pleased to share with you that during our time away from the classroom environment we will be using a website called IXL. IXL is a fun comprehensive learning programme offering unlimited maths and English practice across thousands of skills—all of which are aligned to the national curriculum. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from the comfort of home and continue to learn and I will be able to observe and respond to their progress.
To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:
1. Go to https://www.ixl.com
2. Enter your child's username and password and click "Sign in."
I will be sending your child's username and password via a Scoil Treasa text message today. Let me know if you have any issues ([email protected])
3. Click on any skill to start learning!
For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL’s free tablet apps for iPad, Android or Kindle and sign in with your child’s username and password. IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The programme is adaptive and will adjust based on your child's demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child's results will be saved, so you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on Analytics.
I hope you'll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL regularly while we are away from the classroom environment.
Keep safe and warm regards,
K Slammon

AUTUMNAL ART
We have been learning all about the season of Autumn and all of the signs that show us that it is Autumn. One of the signs is that the leaves change colour and fall from the trees so we used this as an opportunity to make some Art using these fabulous leaves! You wouldn't believe the amount of leaves that we collected form our school yard!

TEDDY BEARS PICNIC 2018
Last Thursday, we went on a very exciting trip along with Junior Infants, Senior Infants and some of our parents...we went to the fabulous Rathfarnham Castle for a Teddy Bears Picnic! We were very fortunate on the day because the sun shone brightly and we were able to enjoy our day without worrying about any rain! There was lots of fun to be had as we played in the wonderful playground, battled it out in Tug of War and got plenty of exercise trying to catch some monkey tails. We really had a great day and would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of the teachers who organised it and all of the parents and guardians who joined us and helped us out on the day!
Senior Infants
A big thank you to all the children and parents of Senior Infants. To say I enjoyed working with your children is such an under statement. They are so clever, fun, enthusiastic and hard working that they made the year so enjoyable for me and I only hope they enjoyed it as much. Keep up the fantastic work. The world is your oyster. Keep having fun and working hard. Ms. L. Broderick.
Multi-Cultural Week
We had such a fantastic time learning and experiencing so many different cultures and countries. We are very grateful to one of our parents for coming in to teach us all about Morocco. Iceland was our chosen country and we had great fun learning about their traditions and all about the country. The highlight of the week was of course the Fair and the children got a great chance to experience all weird and wonderful foods from around the globe.

The highlight of the week was of course the Fair and the children got a great chance to experience all weird and wonderful foods from around the globe.
Gymnastics: Below are some snaps of the gymnastics the children were attempting last week. Their highlight of the four stations was the Imagination Station where they get to choose a movement to get across the bench.
Writing Celebration
I would like to thank all the parents and grandparents who came in for the writing celebration last Thursday. The children have been working so hard and were delighted to get to show you the fruits of their labour. Go raibh maith agaibh go léir :)

Letters to the sun: One of the best things we have done all year!
On an awful winters day in spring we decided as a class it would be a good idea to write a letter to the sun to persuade it to come out. The children used all of what they knew about persuasive writing and all their persuasive skills to ask the sun to shine again. We made our letters into paper aeroplanes and went up to the school balcony and we let fly, we threw them towards the sun, unfortunate for most but fortunate for one Eve's letter made it, we saw it fly over the clouds towards the sun. An hour later we were out playing football when amazingly a paper aeroplane landed on yard, Eve went over and opened it, low and behold it was the Suns reply, complimenting Eve on a very well written letter and promising it would do its best to shine all the time. Believe it or not, that day ended up turning into one of the most beautiful days we have ever had in Senior Infants! :)

The Vet
As you can see below the surgery is very busy. An animal epidemic must have broken out in the local community. Everyone has had to put their shoulder to the wheel to save lives. Our receptionist hasn't stopped all day, the vet has had a constant stream of sick animals coming in, the radiology department have been working double shifts just to keep the constant flow of patients moving along. The Easter holidays has probably come at the perfect time for these workers, a well deserved break! They will be back after Easter to help with all those sick tummies after all the chocolate. Enjoy and we shall see you soon :)

Grandparents Day
A BIG thank you to all the grandparents who came in to help us celebrate the big day! It was the first year we had decided to do it and I must admit I thought it was fantastic!! The children were so excited to have you there and to show you around. I was very proud that after just two days of practice the children of Senior Infants got up in front of all the school and grandparents to recite a poem they had been learning. They did us all very proud.

Aistear
As you can see here I focused on construction for a week while we were learning all about the Arctic and Antarctic. You can really see the progression throughout the week. The first igloo the children built to the last, you can see significant learning and development here, it's fantastic and really goes to show that what is happening in the infant classes is working :) |

A BIG THANK YOU
I would like to take this opportunity to say how PROUD I am to be the teacher of such a fantastic bunch of children!! We spent some of November and all of December practicing for our school show. It wasn't easy, a lot of hard work goes into the children preparing themselves for such an event; between learning lines, dances, movements and even partaking in some of the big decisions for the play in general. The children did amazingly well. The parents arrived on the day and I would imagine were as proud of their children as I was. It means so much for the children to be able to show off the variety of talents they all possess so thank you from myself and the children for coming. Here are some of the photographs taken of the day, enjoy...
"Saturday night at the dinosaur stomp"
After reading the book 'Saturday night at the dinosaur stomp' and thoroughly enjoying it we decided to base our art lesson around the story and its illustrations. We picked our favourite picture from the book and made it using black card and chalk. Then we went and worked individually on our own dinosaurs, the children used what they had learned from the book, and previuous books on the topic, and made their own fantastic dinosaurs! As you can see they looked amazing!!
Aistear
The theme covered in October was Homes, there are some pictures below of some of the stuff we were doing, it doesn't show half of the great work that was done but stay tuned for more pictures over the coming weeks and months.
The children loved all the different activities they were taking part in and taking control of. As you can see the children spent time constructing different types of homes, making model homes and furnishing houses. The language and skills they learned was phenomenal.
Next month our theme is The Post. The children will be learning lots of new language based around post so it would be great if they got to share and use that language with you, maybe write a few letters or postcards, even a little trip with you to your local post office. Thanks :)

Sorting
Today in Maths we spent some time sorting our counters by colour, as the class knows, there are plenty of ways to sort sets but today we worked in groups of three sorting and matching by colour, the children really enjoyed the activity and for me the highlight was hearing the children using their maths language while working together.
