Room 13 :A Busy Start!

It’s been an exciting start to the school year in Room 13! After the long summer break, we were all eager to get back and see our friends again. We’ve been keeping busy with lots of activities. Here’s a look at some of the things we’ve been up to in these first few weeks.

Back with Friends

One of the best parts of returning to school has been reuniting with our friends. After weeks apart, we have really enjoyed catching up, playing together at break, and sharing stories from our summer holidays.

Gaeilge Revision

We’ve also been working hard on our Gaeilge, revising key question phrases and getting confident with asking and answering questions. The class has made great progress with question starters like ‘cé,’ ‘cad,’ and ‘cathain,’ and are becoming much more comfortable using them in conversation.

Kensuke’s Kingdom

In class, we’ve been reading Kensuke’s Kingdom and using techniques like visualisation to imagine the settings and prediction to think about what might happen next in the story.

Garda Station

Our 6th class had a brilliant trip to the Garda station in Finglas, where they learned all about the role of the Gardaí and the different organisations they work with. The boys really enjoyed getting a look inside the station and seeing how everything works behind the scenes.

Boxing Lessons

We have also started boxing lessons!

We have learned how to stand properly, throw jabs, and keep our guard up. It’s been amazing to see how much focus and discipline boxing takes. Plus, it’s a great way to get our heart rates up and work on our co-ordination.
