R5 Cúig Newsletter 14/05/2021

Today marks the end of another great week in Rang a Cúig. This week we worked very hard completing our Drumcondra tests in Maths and English and we are happy to have these out of the way. In Maths, we learned all about circles. We also learned to use a compass for the first time. Using our new compass skills we made some pattern circle art.  You can see some examples in the pictures below.

Today we are going to make marbled planet paintings in Art.  We can’t wait to show you them in next week's newsletter. Our class is over half way through our novel ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’ and we are really enjoying it. We wrote and acted out scenes based on the famine in Drama.  This helped us understand how different people were affected by the tragedy.

In Core Curriculum, we learned all about Eid-Ul-Fitr, a celebration in the religion of Islam that was on this Thursday. We went to Dartmouth Square and played Rugby with our coach Ken for P.E. We finished the topic of Bullying in Stay Safe and we made a class agreement to prevent bullying.
