Hugh Lane Art Gallery

On April 18, 2023

Before the Easter break, 6th class paid the Hugh Lane Gallery a visit.
The class took time to examine the artwork and made fantastic sketches of their favourite pieces to discuss. There were lots of interesting conversations about art.

We also studied the beautiful stained glass window artwork to replicate during our own art lesson. The children took inspiration from the work of Harry Clake and added their own ideas to their work.

The children have also been learning about Irish history and the class found lots of paintings depicting famous figures such as Micheal Collins.

It was a fantastic trip with our creative 6th class students!

Niall from ESB kindly came in to talk with us as part of engineers week. He shared interesting facts about his job and we were very jealous to hear that he gets to travel a lot with his job- to Africa and the Middle East! It was a very informative talk.

Hi everyone! We just wanted to let you all know that we haven’t disappeared! We are really busy in 6th Class preparing for our Confirmation which will take place on the 9th of June. We were presented recently with our certificates for completing the NYP/Talbot Centre Drug and Alcohol Awareness programme – check out our photo below…

We have also been working on poetry. Here is an emotion poem written by Migle:

Angry is Monday mornings,

Angry is winter time when it’s cold,

Angry is school,

Angry is homework,

Angry is cleaning your room,

Angry is hitting,

Angry is leaving Lithuania.

And an acrostic poem by Lee:

GHOST

Gruesome they are,

Horrifying also,

Oh my God they’re scary,

Standing very tall,

Thoughts of them going around in my head

And a thoughtful poem by Amy:

The Rainbow

And straight away I saw rain,

I looked up in to the sky and saw a rainbow shoot by,

It looked so magical,

Unexpectedly I found myself perched on a rainbow,

The clouds began to drift,

I jumped onto a cloud and floated away,

When I will return I cannot say.

‘Across the Divide’ History Trail!

On March 29, 2011

In 6th Class, School

Our 6th Class joined up with 6th Class in Central Model School, Marlborough St. yesterday to take part in a history trail based on our book ‘Across the Divide’! We all met in Rutland Hall where we were put in to pairs. We were given the activity booklet and clip boards, and we then took to the streets! It was strange at first meeting and working with new people, but we got used to it and had a great time!

We walked down to O connell street and compared and contrasted the street and different buildings and monuments to as it was in 1913. We saw that the Imperial hotel is now Clerys department store! The Spire is now taking the place of Nelson’s Pillar! O Connell Street used to be called Sackville Street! But the GPO is the exact same! A lot of the class agreed that the older buildings in the city are the nicest!

We then walked up Sackville place, around by Liberty hall – which is completely different now! And ended our trail in Marlborough St School Hall for a drink and snack! We were blessed to have the sun with us, which made our walk even more fun! Here are photos of our super boys and girls being very busy!

Hi all!

Lots to report from sixth class this week so far. This week is a busy week for us bookworms. We are aiming to get all our sponsorship forms back to raise money for our library so we are reading for 30 minutes every day. Here is a photo of us reading…

Later on in the week we are going to Easons to choose our free book for World Book Day which will be difficult because there is a great selection this year!

Tomorrow we will miss the launch of One Book One Community Programme which we are taking part in so we will go to the closing of the project at the end of March instead. The novel we will be studying for this project, Across the Divide, is ready for us in our classroom to begin reading.

We are hoping to do some paired reading with 2nd Class this week too to mark World Book Day.

And finally, another bit of news, we are starting our Drug Awareness Programme on Thursday with The Talbot Centre and N.Y.P. 1. which we actually cannot wait for!

Watch this space for more sixth class news and views….

Buddy Visit Day in 6th Class

On February 18, 2011

In 6th Class, School, Uncategorized

We first met our buddies this week on Monday in our school library. We were a bit shy at first but then we got to know everyone through a game of personal bingo. We split up then and met two people each who will be our buddy for the next few months.

On Thursday the buddy group from Larkin came back to our school. We had our classroom ready for activities with clay. It was super fun and we got to know our buddies a bit better – what was really great was the fact that they could help us with the clay art.

We cant wait for week 3 of the programme when we will get to particapate in an activity that our buddies are planning for us. It will be nice to see some familiar faces when we start in Larkin in September!
