Sow & Grow in 5th Class
Ms. Farrell's 5th class have begun the Sow & grow initiative for 2018. The girls planted cress, spinach and peas. They studied the process of photosynthesis and now know that plants are autotrophs and use sunlight to make their own food. the girls are looking to caring for their plants and watching them grow. They are also looking forward to harvesting the crop in a few weeks time and tasting them!

Greek theatre masks in 1st class
The girls in Ms.Flynn's 1st class designed and made Greek masks recently. When theatre first started in Greece, male characters played male and female parts. To show the difference between the two, white masks represented female roles while brown masks represented male characters. the girls in 1st class looked at examples and noticed that emotions could be portrayed in the masks by changing the shape and size of the eyes and mouth.
