Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona Daoibh ó Rang a Sé!
Irish
We had a very busy week celebrating all things irish. Seachtaine na Gaeilge was in full swing with 6th class. We learnt new seanfhocails (Irish proverb) "Tír gan teanga, tír gang anam" means "A country without a language is a country without a soul." We learnt a ceili dance and took part in school quiz and bingo through irish. It was a fun filled week, with lots of informal Irish being used throughout the week.
Máith sibh a chairde!

English
This week in English we continued to develop our vocabulary, work with suffixes -ful and -ward, grammar- concord between nouns and verbs. Read another fictional story "The Wolf Wilder." The children worked on improving comprehension skills, increasing vocabulary and spelling skills.
Maths
In maths we focused on multiplying decimals, decimal places, factors, product. We learnt when we multiply a decimal number by a decimal number we know where to put the decimal point in the answer. We continued to work on problem solving skills also.
Other News
We bid a sad farewell to John this week. We wish you the very best of luck in your new school and home.
Make sure to keep an eye out for the Dundalk Leader, and Dundalk Democrat papers, this week as it will feature our sixth class children.
Congratulations to Samuel, our pupil of the week
