Move for a Mile! – 5th class marathon
5th class have recently completed a marathon! The girls ran a total of 26 miles over a couple of months! Watch to see how they got on in the two videos! (26 miles was just too long for one video!) Well done 5th class! – Ms. Cassidy is so proud of you all!
Marathon Running
Our Fifth Class Girls ran 26miles to complete the Cork City Marathon in school. They were such fanatastic runners, that we made banners in First Class to support them as they ran their last mile! Well done Fifth Class!
Growing Flowers in the Garden
We were so good at growing seeds and flowers in our class, that First Class planted some Lupin Flowers in the garden. Luckily Anne found a good spot to plant them and hopefully we will see the flowers grow up soon!
Learning Somalian!
We have been working so hard towards achieving our Yellow Flag for Diversity this year. As part of this we are learning a little about the languages of different countries. Look at us learning Somalian!
Decorating Our Queen Cakes
We had so much fun decorating our Queen Cakes – they were almost too pretty to eat….almost!
Making Queen Cakes
We were so lucky when Ms. Conway offered to make queen cakes with us. We made them in the Parent’s Room and even got to decorate them when they were made. They were delicious!
GAA Skills
We are so lucky to have coaches from Delaney’s Club come to North Pres to teach us some GAA skills. Check out our ball skills and nifty hand passes!
Ice Cream Party!
We were sad in First Class when we had to say goodbye to Maja, as she goes back to Poland. We did have an ice cream party for her last day in North Pres. See how much we have grown in First Class!
Sow and Grow
First Class have been very busy planting and growing seeds. We grew cress, spinach and peas. We had a watering rota to make sure they were carefully watered every day. Look at how they grew!
