What a busy time we’ve had in sixth class and in particular for our last term in sixth class and our last term in Primary school. Seeing as we graduated yesterday, it is the perfect time to look back on all that we have created, worked at and achieved over the past couple of months.
Once we had our standardised testing done, it was time to enjoy some fun activities. We decided to bring our maths outside for a change and completed a maths trail of the main yard. We had great fun completing this trail and we learned lots of new information.

We have become somewhat experts at tag rugby and have been busy learning the skills that make an excellent player. Word filtered around the school that we were doing a great job so Ms. Dunne asked sixth class if they would teach her fourth class how the play. The sixth class set up three stations and taught the basic skills to the fourth class students. It was wonderful to see the leadership from the sixth class and feedback from the fourth class students suggest that they were excellent teachers!
Also part of our PE curriculum was orienteering. We did some fun orienteering activities in the hall where we had to work in groups with our friends to solve the problems. Check us out below!
We love active week in 6th class and this year was no change. On the run up to active week we partook in the move it morning every morning from 8.45 a.m. – 9.05 a.m. We did so many different activities and had great fun. We also had a brilliant active week. Check out the blog on active week on our news feed!
During active week we were asked to organise the junior sports day because of our excellent work with the daily mile. We were privileged to be asked and we took the role very seriously. We were delighted to get such praise from the teachers and as a reward we visited spar for some ice cream. It was great to be rewarded for our efforts.
We have loved art this year. One of our favourite art pieces was Tin foil embossing where we used wool, glue, tin foil and sharpies. Check out our creations below.
Another really fun activity at the end of the year was using the Lego WeDO sets. Mr. Geaney got the sets from Kildare Education Centre and we had great fun creating and using these STEM pieces. Check out the pictures and some videos of them in action below.
Congratulations to this wonderful sixth class group on their graduation. They were super all year long and I wish them every happiness into the future – Mr. Geaney
