World Book Day

March 2, 2017 admin stfergals

Today was World Book Day. It was a great day. The children made a huge effort to dress up as various characters from their favourite books. There were lots of genres of books discussed such as story books, factual books, annuals and comics. We talked about the characters in stories and what some of our favourite stories were. Some of the older classes did paired reading with the younger classes and each class took part in DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) for some time. The younger classes had an assembly to show off all their costumes. Don't the children look wonderful!?!

These are children in Ms Roche's Third Class all dressed up in their costumes.

Operation Transformation

The whole school took part in the Operation Transformation '10 at 10' initiative. At 10am everyone did 10minutes of physical activity.

A huge well done to Ms Brady and her second class who organised the event and demonstrated the Macarena dance for everyone to follow. There were more exercise going on in the senior yard for the older children too!

Mad about Multiplication

February 8, 2017 admin stfergals

3rd class have been working very hard on their tables at home and in school. We are playing multiplication and division games in pairs and small groups every morning.

We love board games, Kaboom and Multiples Bingo, but our favourite game is Team Challenge!

We also made multiplication 'fortune tellers' for our 3x tables. We like using them to play with our friends while learning our tables. They were tricky to make, so a big than you to the boys and girls who helped us to do it!
