Geography – Ireland
Over the past couple of weeks, the boys and girls in Ms. Clare’s 4th & 5th have been busy learning all about Ireland.
We have so far completed the Provinces, Counties, County Towns, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Mountain Peaks and Islands of Ireland!! Not only this but we have learned exactly where these are all located within Ireland and have completed class tests on them every fortnight!
In order to reinforce all of these areas, we completed a class Geography competition wherein each individual student was assigned a particular topic, i.e. rivers/lakes etc. and had to design a map of Ireland based on this particular topic.
Needless to say it was a very tough competition to judge!!
Take a look at how well they turned out!!
4 th class have spent the year in St Mary’s Hall. They thought it a good idea to find out a little bit more about this important building in our parish and to share what they learned with their school mates.
Our Spelling Bee Champion, Sara O’Grady, recently took part in the Carlow County Final of the Eason Spelling Bee. Read her account below.
