Student council training!!!! - Darcy L

On Friday we had a very important meeting for student council training

Our student council reps were, Darcy, April, Zamaira, Ryan, Charlie, Xavier, Amelia, Skye, Ali and we had Ms. Sheridan.

We were in Ms. Sheridans office at 9:30.

We start off getting some pancakes,waffles,pain au chocolat and croissants. We all sit around the table with the laptop in front of us.

We had two speakers who would talk when we would have to speak. We talked about future fundraisers for the year.

We then talked about what would you bring to space no phones allowed and sweets and drinks are there already. We said stuff for our body so we don't stink.

We then talked about the jobs that we have as student reps. We have, chairperson, secretary, announcers, and a lot of other stuff that i forgot.

After we talked about how important it is to be student council reps. How we would listen to people when they have suggestions. How we are kind of in charge of the of suggestions that we get. How we would be working for bake sales and all the fundraisers.

We did a blooket about what we had in the meeting and stuff.

A lot of people had to leave because there was SARI. People were exhausted and a bit bored. All the 3rd class left the 2 4th class left. Then it was only 3 5th classers, 1 sixth classer, 1 4th classer and that was it near the end.

Garda Visit - Denis

Once a garda came to talk to our school about how bad fireworks are for the environment, and how they can hurt you. They showed us a picture of a broken arm from a firework let me tell you it was not in the right place at all, so you have to be all safe out there.

Next, they showed us how people need permits to blast out fireworks, but many people do it without one and they are always out on halloween, so it's risky if you don't have a permit. they also said it's really bad to do them as a kid.

Pats training - Scarlett

Every Thursday someone comes in to our school from the Saint Pats football club. His name is Owen.

Week 1: We started our lesson with a bit of maths from our workbooks, although we didn't do too much since it was only our first week. We designed our own jerseys for St Pats. We then played a match but we didn't count the score.

Week 2: Like the week before, we did some maths in our workbooks and then went outside. This time, we counted the score.Owen split us up into three small teams and two of them played while the other did some games.

Week 3:On week three, as usual we did some maths in our workbooks. Owen couldn't make it, so we had someone else. Like every other week, we went outside and played football. Instead of the third team playing games, we got to do free play.

Week 4: Owen couldn't make it again on week 4, but nobody else could come either so we skipped it and did art instead.

Basketball - Fabulous

Basketball after school! The best way for you and your friend to have fun after school. When you get there you and your friend have to wait for more people to come. When everybody comes you and your friends can see the coach, you have fun by playing the best games and it was so much fun.

We played hotseat and a shooting game. Where when you score you go up a level.

We played matches with all of the players and had so much fun

Lets interview Darcy Lee: I found it very fun as all of the coaches were so nice to play basketball with us.

First Day of 5th Class - Ibtisam

Day 1. My first day of 5th class I was so nervous. There were so many people. But I was so excited and happiness was like 100%. I was so so excited. I wanted to see all my friends. We had a new class and all of them were in it. I excited.

I walked into the classroom and I saw my new teacher. Her name was Ms. Mullen. On my first day of school I was sitting next to Hugo. We played games to learn everyone’s names. We were colouring our names. I was so shy I was trying to tell my teacher “Help me with the words” but I was not making any sound. My teacher told me to use my big girl voice. I was trying my best.

After four months in 5th class I can do maths, read and speak more English. I cannot believe it.

Science Week - Whole Class

Science week took place in Loreto from Monday November 11th until Friday 15th. Our class were so excited to do some science experiments every day.

Day 1:

On day one we became engineers. We watched engineers helping a little boy who had no hands and turned out feet. They created a laptop he could use to do his work in school. Then we created our own robotic hands by threading string through straws. When we pulled the string our hands closed.

Day 2:

On day 2 learned about oxidisation. We performed an experiment where we wrote a secret message using lemon juice. When we heated the page using a hair straightener, our message was revealed.

Day 3:

On day three we performed an experiment where we placed an egg in vinegar. We left it for a few days and the shell came right off! We were able to bounce the egg and see the yolk inside.

Days 4 and 5:

On our final days of Science Week we designed and created a mechanism to safely drop an egg from our classroom window down to the yard. We worked together in groups and created parachutes, bubble wrap shields and various other mechanisms to protect our eggs. The two eggs that survived used a parachute and a protective layer.

After our wonderful Science Week we all feel inspired to be scientists in the future.
