October 2020

We all love the month of October.  Lots of fun things to look forward to - Baboró, Mid-term Break & Hallowe'en!  We began the month continuing with our Autumn theme.  Some of our lessons focused on the theme of 'A Scarecrow'.  Here we are working on making our own individual scarecrows for our display board.  Check in to see the finished product soon!
In Music & Drama classes, we pretended to be scarecrows and danced along to the song 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow. We make a great bunch of scarecrows!  In Communication & Literacy class, we all enjoyed the story 'The Scarecrow's Wedding' by Julia Donaldson, one of our favourite authors.
We have been so busy completing our scarecrows for the display board in the corridor.  It was a very tricky task but the staff helped us create superb scarecrows!  Let's hope no crows visit St. Joseph's or they will be very scared!! 

Baboró 2020 comes to St. Joseph's!
There was great excitement in our school when Baboró came to visit!  What a great show we all participated in.  Huge thanks to Phillida & team.  We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Hallowe'en Activities!

One of our favourite times of year has arrived!  We have been very busy creating some lovely Hallowe'en art, reading some Hallowe'en themed stories as well as incorporating Hallowe'en into our Drama, Music & Numeracy lessons.

September 2020

We are all thrilled to be back in our school again! We are working hard in our classroom making sure we remember to wash our hands, cover our sneezes and keeping a safe distance from each other. Our teacher tells us we are doing a great job!

Music Class with Cormac

Autumn Art
On Tuesday morning, we welcomed back Cormac to our class for music.  We all sat 2 metres away from each other and played lots of different instruments.  It was great fun!

We've been very busy on our Autumn theme since we returned to school.  Lots of work on trees, leaves and animals we see in Autumn.  
Here is our classroom with all our socially distanced workstations.  We are working very well at taking responsibility for all our own belongings.  We are continuing to be very careful about remembering to keep all our own belongings to ourselves and not share them with our friends.  The staff tell us we are doing a great job!
This week in music class we learned how to play the bodhrán to some traditional Irish music.  Check us out ......... we would make a great band! 
We are progressing very well with work on on Autumn theme.  This week we learnt about 'the hedgehog' and made some cosy leaf beds for them to sleep in.  We also revised all the words associated with the season using our word mats.  Our display board in the classroom is looking great!

Celebrating Culture Night 2020​

Friday, the 18th September is Culture Night.  Here in Junior 6, we watched some video clips of previous Culture Nights in Galway.  We also watched the 1994 Riverdance performance and tried our own version after!  Great fun!
