Michael’s fantastic fourth class have been studying Ancient Rome and all about Mt. Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii in Italy. We decided to design our own Volcanoes using paper machee. The children are currently decorating them and they are really looking forward to their Science experiment where they will be trying to get their volcano to erupt.
Last week was Maths Week at Ashbourne ETNS. We had lots of Maths based fun happening around the school. Children played card games in class, went on Maths trails around the school and played big Maths games in the hall.
Under further instruction from The Department of Education & Skills we will remain closed tomorrow Tuesday October 17th. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
This year Ashbourne ETNS proudly opened its doors to a brand new junior class-Evergreen! We had a great first week. We have been busy preparing the classroom, our sensory room, the OT/Para Education room and our central activities area.
This September we had four new children start in Evergreen and they have been exploring their new school and all it has to offer as well as getting to know one another. The children have enjoyed playing with toys, sitting together having their snack, playing games together, doing Art, choosing their favourite songs to sing and dance to and looking at books. They are getting used to their school routine so quickly!. We are really looking forward to the year ahead!
We have really enjoyed our first two weeks in Fourth Class. We have been busy practising our rhythm with ‘The Cup Song’ and also learned an Irish song called ‘An Haka Gaelach’. We have been learning new skills in Tag Rugby and also drew our own self-portraits focusing on proportion and shading.
