First Half-Term in 6th Class

We’ve had a busy few weeks since starting in 6th Class in August. Time has flown! Here are a few photos.

Tour No.2 for 6th Class

Sixth Class had their second school tour of the year last Thursday, March 30th. We left shortly after 8am. Our first stop was Kilmainham Gaol where we spent a couple of hours in the company of tour guide David, who was very impressed with our knowledge. We went from there to Arbour Hill Cemetery to visit the graves of some of the leaders of the 1916 Rising. Our final stop was to the GPO Witness History Museum. The audio-visual presentation there made some of us feel like we were actually charging the GPO ourselves. We returned to Gorey at 5:30pm. A great day was had by all and we look forward to our next school tour on the 2nd of June to Dunmore Adventure.

Shaving Foam Shamrocks

We painted shamrocks using a mixture of glue, shaving foam and green food colouring.

World Book Day in 6th Class

We did a few activities for World Book Day on the 2nd of March. First, we had DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time.

We then had a book- themed table quiz. The winners won a Homework Pass each.

We also designed National Book Tokens as part of the World Book Day UK and Irl competition.

Here are some of our designs:
