Tag Rugby

We are lucky to have a tag rugby coach from Munster Rugby working with 6th class over the next few weeks. It is a great opportunity to learn a new game that many of us may not have tried before.

Science Week

For Science Week pupils came up with their own science investigations and demonstrations. We also investigated how sound travels and made our very own telephones.  

US Presidential Election

6th class have been looking closely at the upcoming United States presidential election. Students created their own political cartoons with a particular focus on one of the candidates. Can you figure out who? 

Halloween

For Halloween we created a spooky Halloween Flashlight Scene. We also dressed up in Halloween costumes for the final time in Scoil Naomh Eltin . 

Maths Week 

For Maths Week we completed a maths trail using our school environment. 6th class worked hard in their groups and completed a number of fun activities. Pupils also had the opportunity to learn and play some new maths games during the week.

REELlife Science Competition

Check out this video on black holes that some of our 6th class pupils created for a science video competition

Dear Parent/Guardian and Students,
Active WEEK
This week is Scoil Naomh Eltin Active Week which means no books, no writing – just focus on getting active. This weeks challenges are attached to this message. All links have also been put together in one unique Padlet for ease of access for students and parents. https://padlet.com/alicegosnell/rafxv5l473598bsl I would appreciate any photos or videos of your child being active so they can be posted on our school website. 
Graduation
Our online Graduation ceremony will take place this Friday June 19th at 11am. As per the instructions for last week’s Zoom call I would ask that you once again send a short email by Tuesday June 16th stating that you have permission to join the online meeting. 
My name is ________________and my child’s name is ___________________.
I have explained the meeting etiquette and will be present in the same room as my child during the meeting.
I have explained to my child that excellent behavior is expected at all times.
In preparation for our Graduation I would as that all students email me their "hope for the future" as they will read this out to the group on the day. If any pupil is interested in reading a short poem they can email me a poem they would like to read. This needs to be done by Tuesday June 16th.
Book Rental

Dear Parent/Guardian and Students,

For many of you, this week should have been one of celebration, where you made your Confirmation in the presence of family and friends.  However, we would encourage you not to be too disheartened as you will have many great celebrations in the years ahead.

​Samhain

In November we created some Irish videos using a green screen and an iPhone. We carried out a science investigation that looked at creating a rocket. We had a visit from an artist who is currently completing a school sculpture. The class had the opportunity to design boats as part of the lesson. For Science week we created our own bouncy ball. The most exciting part of the month was the Kids Kitchen Takeover. The photos of the event do not do justice to the excitement and amazing day we had! Lat week we visited the Squid cafe where we got to play games and pool!

​Deireadh Fómhair

October was jam packed! For Space week we had a Skype call from Blackrock Observatory. We also went to Actons hotel for a talk about mental health. We completed a school maths trail for maths week. We began using tablets in the class. We started athletics with our wonderful coach Claire and the month finished with a trip to Páirc Uí Rinn for the girls Sciath na Scol final. We even had time for Science where we learned about the pH sacle. 

​Meán Fómhair

September was a busy month for 6th class with a trip to Curraheen Showgrounds where children were introduced to orienteering. September also saw the start of our chess league with Mr. Murray. We also learned about the Celts in history and played some fun new maths games.
