Class 4 learn Irish phrases 🍀🍀🍀

Happy St.Patrick’s Day! Over the last few weeks, Miss McNamara’s seven year old niece, Kate McNamara, has been teaching Class 4 how to say Irish phrases over a video link from Dublin. This was part of a competition to teach as many people as she could Irish phrases. Kate won the competition and her teachers were so impressed with her efforts that the media got in touch and asked if they could show her video clip teaching Class 4 on the Irish news. Class 4 are elated to have starred on the Irish news and according to them, they are “famous”! Have a peek at the video below to see some snippets of the video links and the news clip. The link to the actual news clip is: http://trte.rte.ie/news2day/  Enjoy! 🍀🍀🍀

Class 4 have been learning all about the weather. They read Pat Hutchin’s book ‘The Wind Blew’. They enjoyed it so much that they decided to make their own version of the book. Check out what happened when the wind blew at St.Philip’s…

Everybody now understands what is meant by ‘Love one another as I have loved you’. Below is a video which explains what our pupils think love is all about…

A School With No Rules?!

Miss Lavelle’s Year 1 class have been learning about how school would be without any rules! The children led an assembly where they presented to the school a short video investigating what this would be like. They quickly found out that a school without rules could be chaotic and no fun for anyone!

Year 1 Podcasts…

Pupils in Year 1, Mrs Welsh’s class, have been learning how to write and record a Podcast. Using the theme of the Queen’s Jubilee, the children worked in groups and composed their own music. They then wrote their own Jubilee messages and then read them out ‘over’ the music they created. Many thanks to Mrs Constadine for leading this task. A future in radio production may on the horizon…

Gingerbread Men
