4th Class
FĂĄilte romhaibh to our Fourth Class News Update!
The girls and boys have been starting their school day with daily motivation such as the following:
The budding artists of Fourth Class have been wonderfully creative and their Art process has yielded these gorgeous pieces of Art!
In History we discovered the origins of âJack OâLanternsâ. âPhenomenal pumpkinsâ were then created during our pumpkin themed art class!
LEAF ART
HALLOWEEN ART
The boys and girls discovered lots of facts about the heart in Science. They then designed and created wonderful âfabric and fibreâ hearts using their own personal choice of colour and shapes!
In our discovery of the recount genre of writing we discovered lots of âtime connective wordsâ to use when drafting a recount. The girls and boys recorded their time connectives in a very artistic way!
RECOUNT LEAF PICTURES
Fourth class learned about the importance of food for energy and growth and the need for a balanced and healthy diet. Food pyramids were designed using the maths skills of measuring length, dividing etc. The completed food pyramids are fantastic!
The children were inspired by the life and work of Evie Hone. She was a woman of deep religious faith and designed many of the beautiful stained-glass windows which we see in churches throughout Ireland.
We had an eventful day to celebrate Halloween 2022 and everyone looked spooktacular!
We hope that you enjoyed this whistle-stop tour of some of the activities which have taken place in Fourth Class!

Congratulations to Ella, Marina and Mia for their prize winning creations in the Active Schools Slogan competition!
Incredible Edibles
The girls and boys of Fourth Class have been very busy planting and caring for their âIncredible Ediblesâ which included potatoes and strawberries
Everyone is thrilled with the progress of our potatoes and strawberries so far!
Carrots, chives, turnip, spinach and lettuce seeds were also planted and are also making an appearance above the compost!

November & December 2021
Na pléascóga Nollag
The children have been very busy in Fourth Class working on their report writing. The class examined a large selection of reports before beginning to write some of their own.
We have been learning about renewable and non-renewable energy sources, greenhouse gases and climate change. The class participated in an art competition illustrating climate change and all of the entries were excellent.
The children enjoyed some investigations and experiments on the theme of light. They were completely focused and engaged on the topic whilst working in their groups.
The creativity of the Fourth Class girls and boys has brightened up the school corridors and our classroom! Here is just some of their beautiful artwork!
Merry Christmas to everyone! We hope you have a Holly Jolly Christmas!
September & October 2021
FĂĄilte romhaibh to our Fourth Class News Update! The girls and boys have been very creative, optimistic and hopeful since their return to school at the end of August.
The budding artists of Fourth Class have been very imaginative and created these wonderful Autumnal trees using florets of broccoli!
In Maths we have discovered that âMaths is Magicâ and we are using numbers to solve problems using a step by step approach. Recently we discovered the properties of 2-D shapes by creating our very own 2-D shapes with the help of matchsticks! We shared our thoughts on what was easy and difficult about creating these shapes.
Our English daily riddle is getting our minds thinking âoutside the boxâ. The children have enjoyed reading and writing a variety of poems. Descriptive poems, cinquain poems, riddle poems, limericks, acrostic poems and shape poems have all been explored.
We have been putting our Irish words to great use in our speaking, reading and writing. We are getting really good at saying âHail Maryâ as Gaeilge. In preparation for Halloween we have enjoyed learning âOĂche Shamhnaâ.
We have discovered what school was like in the past not only in The Vale but elsewhere in Ireland. Old photos of past pupils and The Vale school building were a great chance to play âspot the differenceâ!
We read some beautiful handwriting from long ago and we all very much enjoyed learning about âhedge schoolsâ much to teacherâs delight!
The children were inspired by the life and work of Evie Hone. She was a woman of deep religious faith and designed many of the beautiful stained-glass windows which we see in churches throughout Ireland.
The children in Fourth Class have also been busy learning all about County Cavan, including important buildings and features of the county and the names and locations of all the main towns in the county.
The children are learning all about plants, the different parts of a plant and what they need to stay healthy. Hopefully, they will use their expertise to help out in the garden!
We had an eventful day to celebrate Halloween 2021 and everyone looked spooktacular!
We hope that you enjoyed this whistle-stop tour of some of the activities which have taken place in Fourth Class!
