6th class blog- February

Welcome!  This is our sixth class blog entry for February. Our class has been getting up to a lot of activities. Here are some things we have been doing.

                HANDWRITING COMPETITION

Our class had a writing competition to see who would be entered into the An Post writing competition. We drafted and redrafted a diary entry about the 1916 rising. Our class winner was Naomi Adeniji .

                     DRAWING COMPETITION

Also to commemorate the 1916 rising,  all of the senior classes took part in the school drawing competition. Each class got to choose between a selection of buildings in Dublin to draw and colour such as the GPO, Bolands  Flour Mills, Kilmainham Jail and lots more. The winners were chosen by the teachers. The winner in 6^th class was Excelle Okeke.

                                The Ceilí Mór

In February we started learning a dance for the Ceilí Mór held in March every year- a dance held in the school hall to raise money for Scoil Mhuire. Our dance is called the Bridge of Athlone. Learning it was a lot of fun. Come back next month to see how we got on!

                                      Cross country

On the last week of  February there was another cross country  race . Eight girls went to Corcaigh Park to represent  our class- Shaamina, Weronika, Excelle , Aoife, Natasha,  Kate, Abbie and Naomi. They did great and we earned a lot of points for our school.

                                      CHINA PROJECTS

In our class we did in groups of two projects on China. Each pair’s project was fantastic, filled with information on China. Fun fact for all of you : 2016 is the year of the monkey .

We are happy that it is finally Spring and the sun is finally out ! We can now enjoy  our break time out in the sun ! We had a great February. We will keep you updated on our next blog post.
