Seven School Wonders

SaraJane in 3rd class made this poster. it is all about the things we learn in school.

 

This is our update for this month, by Heather and Alissa. Here is our school website. We are in 6th class, and we are responsible for updating the website every week. Our teacher helps us if we have any problems. Our names are Heather and Alissa. You can read about us here. We will keep putting our project stuff for the Seven School Wonders here every week.

We are used to doing it for our school website, and if anyone wants us to put up some of your stuff, email it to us and we will do it. We are using our new interactive whiteboards. They are very good. We got them last at easter, and the teachers use them to help us and we use them too. Here you can see a lesson that First Class are learning about the Farm. They are learning Irish. Here are some Irish words:

Seo e an bo. Here is the cow.

Seo e an capall. Here is the horse.

Seo e an feirmeoir. Here is the farmer.

Seo e an fomhar. It is autumn.

You can find more about this on our school website here. Or just click this link if you like http://www.whitechurch.org/archives/2006/09september2006.htm Bye for now... Slán!

...From 2nd Class...

My School

The School was built in 1956, there was an extension built in 1991 and 2005.  We added on a new sports hall and a new classroom.  We have about 120 pupils in our school.  There are four classrooms in the school.  There are two classes to each room.  Mrs Fennell teaches junior and senior infants.  Mr de Búrca teaches 1st and 2nd class.  Mrs Collins teaches 3rd and 4th class and Mr Culloo is the school principal.  The school opens at 9.20am every morning and we finish school at 3 o'clock.  Junior and senior infants go home at 2 o’clock.  The 2nd class pupils are making their first holy communion on the 19th of May 2007.

OUR SCHOOL

Our school is called Whitechurch National School.  There are 116 pupils in the school.  There are six teachers in the school.  The school was built in 1956.  The last extension was built last year.  We got a lovely new hall and Mrs Fennell got a new classroom.  We play games in the hall.  We had a bookfair in the hall last week.  We sold lots of books.  We have a big football pitch at the side of the school.  Every lunchtime we go out to play.  The old school is across the road.  It is falling down. We painted the wall of the school shed a few years ago.  We both like football, hurling and soccer.  We are going swimming on Friday.  We are also getting our Halloween holidays this Friday.  We like our school.
