Ballyhass Lakes

This year's school tour took place last Thursday. We went to Ballyhass lakes and had a wonderful time. We all went kayaking and then some of us went abseiling while others faced their fears and did a Leap of Faith. Ballyhass Lakes - We Came, We Saw, We Conquered!

Kayaking Fun

Amazing Abseiling

Leap of Faith

Maths Fun!

This week we had a lovely Maths lesson. We had different stations and at each one we focused on a different aspect of Maths. We discovered Nets of 3D shapes for ourselves, solved 3D shape problems, practiced long multiplication and explored tangrams! We all agreed it was very enjoyable!

Reading Buddies

Last Monday our class began the very important task of helping some of Senior Infants with their reading. We were very impressed with the excellent reading and we really enjoyed helping them. We look forward to doing more reading in the next few weeks and getting to know some Senior Infants. 

Cor Fhéile 2014

Last night Ranganna 4 performed in the historical City Hall. The tradition of allowing schools to perform on stage has been going on for over 60 years. The children performed brilliantly. They played 2 tin-whistle tunes (This Old Man & Frère Jacques) and 2 songs (An bhfaca tú mo Sheamuisín & Pompeii by Bastille). 

Well done buachaillí agus cailíní. Maith Sibh!

Here are the children during one of our performances for the rest of the school.
