In Geography, we looked at the lakes in Ireland to include lakes such as Lough Neagh and Lough Corrib. We also learned a bit about our neighbouring country, Great Britain.
In History, we finished learning about women who made a difference. We then worked on our own project based on a woman in history who made a difference. Once the projects were completed, we presented them to our class. We learned about lots of important women in history to include Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Mother Teresa, Anne Frank and many more.

We have been working on our Stay Safe lessons over the past two months. We have been discussing very important areas to include friendship and bullying.

We worked on the PE strand of games and focused on uni hoc, practising our striking and passing skills. We also started our GAA lessons with the GAA coaches which we have been loving!

We had our Christmas Carol service in the church in December, so we spent a lot of time learning the different carols leading up to the carol service. The carols we learned included Away in a Manger, Hear Dem Bells, Following a Star, among many others!
Drama:
All four 5th classes put on fantastic Christmas performances for our families! We spent a lot of time in December, learning our lines, learning the songs and practicing our plays! All our hard work paid off, and the Christmas performances were Broadway worthy in our humble opinions!

We love art at Christmastime! There are so many festive and fun art lessons to be done! Check out some of our fantastically festive artwork below!

Well done to all the 5th class students for their excellent work ethic throughout November and December.
