Sports in Tallaght Stadium
|
|
On Monday, 20 children from Sixth Class attended the launch of Wellbeing Week in Tallaght Stadium. We learned that it is important to keep both our body and mind fit and healthy.
We tried out sports such as cricket, soccer and frisbee! At the end everyone took part in a group Zumba dance. It was so much fun! We also got to meet the Mayor of South Dublin, Paul Gogarty. He encouraged us to try lots of sports that we have never tried before. Wellbeing encourages the development of healthy thinking, eating and exercise. |

BizWorld Presentation, Thursday 22nd June
Congratulations to Dylan, Millie, Ellen, Sadhbh, Dane and Erylle who made their presentation at the Red Cow Moran Hotel in front of 40 business people and three dragons. They brought their chocolate fidget spinners with them and really impressed the judges with their preparation and quick thinking! Mr. Shannon and myself were very proud to see our Clonburris pupils looking so smart in their uniforms and making such a good impression on the dragons and Bank of Ireland representatives! Video footage to follow soon!!

Find Your Inspiration
A great experience for 5th classes! We visited the science laboratory and the classes were able to conduct chemistry experiments (the 'weird custard' was very popular!). The planetarium was also very interesting - pupils looked at the history of life on the dome above their heads. Pizza, drinks and chocolate followed and then we returned to the lecture hall. Melissa, Nicole M., Sinéad, Seán and Natasha presented a slideshow based on lesson 4 in front of over 300 people! They were very impressive! Thanks to Ms. O'Malley for all her hard hard work, South Dublin, Leslieanne Gore and those in Maynooth University who worked on this very worthwhile project!
Thanks to Emily, Millie, Caitlin and Andrew who sang in the choir on Saturday 27th and helped celebrate with 2nd class when they received the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
BizWorld, May 2017
Avril Lambert from Bank of Ireland worked with our class. Pupils were placed in groups of 6 and came up with ideas for products or services. They chose a company name, slogan and drew posters. They did some market research with Ms. O'Brien's 3rd class. The groups were given a number of Bizbucks to spend. Each team had a number of roles, such as Managing Director, Finance Director and so on. Groups decided themselves who would take on the various roles. On Wednesday the groups pitched their ideas to the Dragons and later on to 3rd class. Thanks to Bank of Ireland for giving our class this opportunity! It was a great experience and the class impressed the Dragons!

We the start of spring, we planted seeds. We planted sunflowers, spinach, parsley and cress seeds.
We made a desert too! First we put cactus compost in the tray. Next we put four different types of cacti in the tray. We put sand in the tray. We watered the desert when the sand was dry. *Interesting fact* Cacti hold lots of water. It helps them to stay alive when it gets really hot in the desert! |
