This week we were learning about the effects of climate change is having on the world. We examined how climate change is evident in Bangladesh, Kenya, Haiti and the Philippines. We could see how the climate is not as predictable as it used to be and some countries and getting hotter and some are getting more rainfall. We can’t stop global warming but we can learn how to live with it and slow it down. We can use fuel more carefully and recycle more and maybe walk to more places instead of driving. Our new classroom will be ready after Christmas and we are very excited. We can’t wait to start 2017 in our new room and look forward to moving in.

Ms Dunphys class were having fun learning about money today.
They were making a mini shop and buying real things but don’t worry parents they gave them back afterwords.

We were practicing for our Nativity play.We went up to the church to practice.It was very fun!
We learnt about fractions in maths and we are also did tests too.
We did activities in our line.We had a lot of fun. When we came in the safety squad played a game called Heads Up Thumbs Down. That is fun too!

First class have been very busy. We are practising our song for the church next Thursday. We have learned ‘Mary had a little lamb’ on our tin whistles. Yesterday we made a Santa using paper plates. Our classroom is looking lovely with all our Christmas art.

Perfect drama for teaching in Sixth Class!

After five weeks we say a fond farewell to Ms. Nolan. Sixth Class have really enjoyed their time with Ms. Nolan and they have developed a great rapport with her. They have learned a vast amount during Ms. Nolan’s time in RNS. A very big thank you to Ms. Nolan for everything!
