6th Class - Room 13
Room 13 :A Busy Few Weeks leading up to Christmas!
The past few weeks in Room 13 have been full of fun, learning, and excitement. We have been so busy with activities inside and outside the classroom that time has flown by! Here’s a little recap of everything we’ve done recently.
Exploring Class Dojo Island
One of the highlights in class was exploring our Class Dojo Island on the iPads. We played games, built structures, and took part in lots of interactive activities. The games helped us improve teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Plus, we all agreed it’s a lot more fun than regular lessons!
Christmas Jumper Day
For Christmas Jumper Day, we wore our festive Christmas jumpers and brought in money in aid of St. Vincent de Paul. There was a great atmosphere in the school, with colourful jumpers and lots of Christmas spirit. It felt good to know that by taking part, we were helping people during the Christmas season.
Boxing Expedition at Ballymun Boxing Club
A few weeks ago, we had the chance to visit Ballymun Boxing Club for a boxing expedition. It was something totally new for most of us. We got to practise our skills and even do a bit of sparring! The coaches were so kind and encouraging, and they taught us the importance of discipline and respect in sports.
Rugby with Leinster Rugby
A few weeks ago, we started rugby with Leinster Rugby. It was a new experience for many of us and we were excited to learn something different. We practised basic skills such as passing and working as part of a team. We are really looking forward to continuing our rugby sessions and improving our skills as the weeks go on.
Cinderella Christmas Panto
We went to see the Cinderella panto at the National Boxing Stadium. It was such a brilliant show! The characters were funny, the songs were catchy, and the costumes were amazing. We laughed a lot, especially at the silly jokes, and some of us even joined in with the cheering and booing. It was a fantastic experience, and everyone had a great time.
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.
