Fifth Class

On Friday 27th May we had a very special guest on TEAMS to speak to us about Energy, Electricity and Hydroelectric power. John Gallagher from the ESB spoke to Fifth class all about the work the ESB do in Ireland and their exciting plans for the future. We talked about the future of electric cars and the need for more charging points around Ireland.🚙🏭 John encouraged the girls to get involved in Science, Engineering and STEM in the future.  It was an excellent talk. 

 On Thursday 11th 5th class went to the Town Hall Theatre to watch a production of a play called A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings. It was a wonderful story about an old man who was captured and locked in a cage because people thought he was an angel. At the end his wings grew back and he flew away. We really enjoyed our trip to the theatre.

 Congratulations and well done to Felicia in 5th class, winner of a fabulous hamper in the Halloween raffle. Thank you to everyone who supported our school raffle. Have a wonderful break, and see you all on November 1st. 

 We are delighted to hear that 5th class will be returning to Swimming Lessons in November. Ms Byrd's class will go on Mondays, and Ms Doyle's on Tuesdays, starting on Nov 1st. Pupils will go directly to the swimming pool on the morning of their lesson. Supervision will be provided at the pool from 8.40, and the lesson starts at 9am sharp. We will walk back to school afterwards, weather permitting. Lessons cost 5euro per week, for 7 weeks. So don't forget your swim kit! Ms Byrd on Mondays, Ms Doyle on Tuesdays!!

 Garda Cathal Buggy visited 5th class today, and explained some very important Halloween safety tips to us. He explained how we should be careful and safe over Halloween. Stay a safe distance from fireworks and bonfires. Have an adult with you when trick or treating, or at events. If you are dressed up in dark clothes, add reflective material or a torch, so that you can be seen by cars and cyclists. Make sure your costume is fire resistant. Do not buy or light fireworks. Keep pets indoors on Halloween night, and check on older people who may be frightened. Stay safe and have fun at Halloween.  Thank you Garda Buggy for coming in to see us today!!

 If you should happen to wander into 5th class, you will be seen by a lot of eyes!!! We have been hard at work in art class, and have produced some striking pictures. Have a look below, see what you think!
