February in P5 - Mr Duffy

4th Mar 2024

This month we remembered St.Brigid. We learned about her life and the good deeds that she done for others, while teaching about God. Its wonderful to have an Irish Female Saint to represent our country. Lots of children from our class visited Faughart and Dundalk to see the special 1500 celebrations to St. Brigid. We made Lenten promises for Lent.  

We visited the Navan Centre in Armagh to learn about the life and times of the Ancient Egyptians. It was an interesting trip and a member of our class got dressed up as a mummy! We learned the geography of Egypt, the different seasons, Egyptian Gods and we made Pharaoh crowns and Egyptians collars.

In Literacy we learned about the different genres in imaginary worlds. We wrote descriptions of giants. We used amazing adjectives and super similes to describe the giant, to help the reader imagine what our giant looked like. 

In Numeracy, we focused on practical activities of telling the time in analogue and digital time. We are also learning the 8 & 9 times tables, along with division facts. The competition in our Head to Head has become fierce competitive.

We had a visit from the All Ireland Intermediate Club Champions.

Well done to all our Pupils of the Week.
