Welcome to the 5th Class Page!

Buddy Bench

We got two beautiful new buddy benches in our school yard. Here we are enjoying the new bench.
 

Debating as the European Parliament

Here in Room 16, we have been learning all about the European Union and what it means to be a citizen of the E.U. Today we split into teams and debated the following motion as the E.U Parliament; 'All member states of the E.U should use the Euro.'

P.S - we may look a bit unusual in these photos, but there's a good reason; we dressed up as our favourite novel characters for 'World Book Day.'

 

Our 'Wonder' Wall

Our class novel for Term 2 is 'Wonder' by R.J Palacio, and the girls in 5th class created character profiles and portraits for two of the main characters; Auggie and his sister Via. We're really enjoying the story so far, it's so good that Ms. O'Dwyer has taken the book home over a few weekends to read herself!

 

Mosaic Hearts

On Tuesday 14th Feburary, the girls in 5th Class celebrated Valentine's Day by writing 'LovePotions' and creating mosaic heart patterns in Art. We also decided to celebrate Kindness Week by performing random acts of kindness for each other. Some of the girls were quite overwhemed by kind things that others did for them during the week!

 

Science & Electricity

The girls in 5th Class have spent the last 2 weeks exploring electricity and last Friday we used electrical circuits to make our very own lighthouses!

Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas from Room 16!

The 5th Class girls made papier maché constructions through the month of December and put them together to make a Christmas Village.

Ou classroom door decked out for Christmas!

 

The Rainforest

In Room 16, we've been learning all about life in The Amazon Rainforest. This is the special display we made for outside our classroom.

The choir sang beautifully at the open day and at our own school concert. Well done girls on all your hard work.
