Stretching a sentence

During writing time today we tried stretching a sentence by adding more detail. We did this by asking ourselves: who, what, where, when, why. Our sentences are soooo much better now!

 

 

St.Patricks Day celebrations

Thanks to the school council for organising our St Patrick's mufti day.

Ice bucket challenge

This Ice Bucket Challenge was an activity we did to demonstrate the effect of COLD water on our bodies.

Cold water can cause the body to shut down very quickly.
View the clips below to see how our bodies responded to ICE COLD water.

Fitness + teamwork + critical thinking

Enjoy watching this clip of our fitness session today. We had to work together to try and get three quoits in a row. 

 

Our first dancing lesson!

Here we are beginning to learn our two new dance routines - The Cha Cha and The Waltz.
For many of us this was the first time experiencing this type of dancing. We began with learning some basic steps and then enjoyed practising with some music in the background.
