Turas Scoile Rang a hAon
Bhí lá iontach ag Rang a hAon agus Rang a Dó ar an 12ú Meitheamh nuair a thug muid cuairt ar Chaisleán Bhun Raite i gcontae an Chláir. Bhí an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch agud bhí neart spraoi agus spórt ag na páistí. Bhí sorcas ar an áitreabh ar an lá céanna.
Rang a hAon and Rang a Dó had a fantastic day on the 12th of June when we visited Bunratty Castle & Folk Park in county Clare. The weather was amazing and the children really enjoyed themselves. Fossett’s Circus was onsite there on the same day and the children attended the circus also.
Turas chuig Iarsmalann Míoleolaíocht agus Bitheolaíocht Mara
Bhí lá iontach ag páistí Rang a hAon ar an gCéadaoin seo caite 17ú Aibreán, nuair a thug muid cuairt ar Iarsmalann Míoleolaíocht agus Bitheolaíocht Mara in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe.
Ar maidin thug muid cuairt ar an Iarsmalann Míoleolaíocht agus Bitheolaíocht Mara. Ansin bhí deis ag na páistí cuid do na hainmhithe andúchasacha a fheiceáil agus a lámhseáil faoi stiúir an saineolaí Dayle Leonard. B’iontach an taithí a bhí anseo do na páistí.
Bhí lón ansin againn sa HUB san Ollscoil. Tar éis lón chuaigh muid trasna an bhóthair chuig Páirc Mhílaoise na Gaillimhe.
On the 17th of April Rang a hAon went on an educational tour to the Zoology and Marine Biology Museum on the NUIG Campus in Galway city.
We began the tour with a visit to the Ryan Institute where the newly refurbished Zoology and Marine Biology Museum is housed. Here the children received a guided tour of the museum and its over 500 specimens on display. These included a wide range of animals, native and exotic creatures from all over the world.
Finally, we met Dayle Leonard a Master’s student in the Venom Systems and Proteomics Laboratory in the Zoology department. Here Dayle showcased some of the animals under his care including, Kunza the Burmese Python, Willy the Russian Tortoise, Francis the Australian Blue-tongued Skink, Lenny the Leopard Gecko, Mildred the South American Millipede, Buster the Scorpion, and Motchy the Tarantula.
During the class Dayle explained to the children about the various animals and their habitats and characteristics. Everyone got a chance to view and handle some the animals under Dayle’s expert supervision. The children really enjoyed the Q & A session at the end of the class. This tour was an amazing experience for the children.
We ended the day with a visit to the Millennium Children’s Park and Playground across the road. The children had a fantastic day.
Taispeántas Uirlisí Ceoil
Bhí Taispeántas Uirlisí Ceoil ag Rang a hAon an Aoine seo caite. Bhí réimse leathan uirlisí le feiceáil ag na páistí. Thug cuid do na páistí isteach a chuid uirlisí féin. Fuair na páistí seans na huirlisí a lámhseáil. Shéinn an Priomhoide Maeve cúpla port ar an mbosca ceoil dúinn. Bhain na páistí an-sult as an gceacht.
Rang a hAon had a Musical Instruments Show last Friday in the class. There was a wide range of instruments on display. Some of the children brought in their own instruments. The children got a chance to handle and play the various instruments. Príomhoide Maeve called in and played a few tunes on the Accordion. The children thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.
Croiseanna Bríde Rang a hAon
Rinne Rang a 1 agus Múinteoir Rónán beathaitheoirí éin le déanaí le crochadh suas timpeall na scoile. D’úsáid muid ábhair athchúrsála chun na beathaitheoirí a thógáil i rith rang ealaíne. Faoi láthair tá an Coiste agus an scoil ar fad ag obair i dtreo an Brat Glas do Bhithéagsúlacht a fháil sa bhliain nua.
Rang a hAon designed and built bird feeders recently. They are currently hanging around the school premises. We used recyclable materials to build the bird feeders during art class. At the moment the Green Flag Committee and the school as a whole are working towards achieving the Green Flag in Biodiversity in the new year.
Chuir Rang a hAon bleibíní an Earraigh inniu le Múinteoir Roesia, chun go mbeidh bláthanna deasa againn le teacht an Earraigh.
