The class learned about St. Brigid as well as the Goddess Brigid - their similarities and their differences

January also brought Catholic Schools Week, the theme this year was Alive in Christ, the class was asked to think about what this meant and to create a poster depicting how they can contribute to the greater good in their localities.

4th Class also took part in the Globe Rainfall project, in pairs, the class recorded the average rainfall everyday for a month and checked the pH level to make sure we don't have any acid rain! This data was then shared with Globe and NASA as part of their research, we've never prayed for rain so much! ☔ Over the weekend of storm Eowyn, the class recorded over 40mm of rain fell in Boherbue.

The class took part in a webinar with NASA Scientists and Mét Eireann representatives to hear all about Climate Change and its effects around the world

2025 started with a bang, well more of a snowstorm ❄️ 4th Class were delighted to get back into routine and to see each other again. January and February was very busy as we started Camogie, became Reading and IT Buddies to Senior Infants and First Class, and coded our Lego creations using the Lego WeDo programme! We also took advantage of the dry weather to follow Layla's warm up before a Dodgeball tournament 🏀

Look Out! 🏹

What a creative bunch 4th Class are! An amazing display of homemade catapults were on display in the class, ranging from simple and compact to the more elaborate designs. Of course, all had to be tested out!
