1st and 2nd – 2021-22

P.E.

We have been working really hard on our Gaelic football skills. Each Thursday we watch a short video clip of skills and drills to work on in conjunction with Connacht GAA. We then head out to the astro to give them a go! Our skills are improving all of the time!

We also do PE on a Tuesday. We work on lots of various skills in these classes, including balance, agility, mobility and basic running and jumping skills. Here we are trying out a bear crawl race!!

Gaeilge

We are really enjoying our new Gaeilge programme, Bua na Cainte. It’s really fun with lots of lovely stories and rhymes. We try to work on a few new phrases each week. Have a look at us asking questions such as “An bhfuil caitheamh aimsire agat?” and “Cén caitheamh aimsire atá agat?”.

Maths

It’s not all copy and book work in our class, sometimes we even get to play games! We love games such as “loop games”, “around the world” and “sink or swim” and enjoy the competition between 1st and 2nd class! Take a look at us trying to match some number and picture cards to practise our understanding of money.

Baking

We are so lucky in our school that sometimes we even get a chance to learn some cookery skills. Here we are making some really tasty rice krispie buns under the guidance of our fantastic SNA Helena.
