For Intercultural Week our class were learning about the Czech Republic. We played a Czech game called K-Koo .We did Art about the Czech’s biggest castle which is Prague Castle.We also made a map of the Czech Republic which included what the most popular sport was and all the things relating to the Czech Republic. At the end of intercultural week we did a scavenger hunt and afterwards we went to the P.E hall and looked at and learned about lots of different countries. By Emma

Here is what we have been doing in our class this week 😊 By Mahitha, Natalia and Matylda.

Geography: We have been learning all about Italy! We used the Chromebooks to research facts about Italy. We then each made flipbook projects. Here is a photo of our flip books and a fact-file about Italy!

Art: To add to our studies about Italy, we drew wonderful pictures of the Colosseum. The Colosseum is a famous amphitheatre in Rome. We followed instructions to draw the ruins of the building, then we painted the background. Finally, we stained our Colosseums using tea bags. Aren’t they amazing!

English: We started learning about Recount Writing as part of our Writer’s Workshop. We are also almost finished our class novel “The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket”.

Learn Together: Our Learn Together theme is “Racial Segregation in America” – racial segregation means keeping people apart because of their race. We learned about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. as part of our studies.

Gaeilge: Tá an téama “sa bhaile” againn anois. Seo é postéar ó Matylda agus Mahitha faoi na seomraí atá sa theach.

We are learning about the theme “at home”. Here is a poster by Matylda and Mahitha about the rooms found in the house.
