3rd / 4th Class
​Mrs Gallagher


Welcome to the 3rd and 4th Class page. 
We are a vibrant, fun-loving class who love sports, art, and adventure. 
Please enjoy scrolling through our page!
​

Learning from our friends in Egypt

We have linked up with Mr. Markey's Year 6 class in Malvern College, Cairo, Egypt.
We have been learning lots about their culture, their hobbies, their Religion and their school.
We have sent some videos and letters to them telling them about our culture also - hurling, gaelic football, Irish dancing, sean nós dancing and Irish traditional music. 
We are really enjoying learning about all aspects of their lives and are looking forward to sharing more stories with them over the next few weeks. 

An egg-cellent learning experience!

Local hen farmer, Pj Markey, came to visit the school last Friday 13th May and taught us and Mrs Mc Aviney's class all about how his free-range eggs get from farm to fork. 
He spoke to the children about the type of hens he has, the type of grain he uses and its ingredients. We looked at some pictures from inside his hen house - the water drinkers, the nest boxes, the belt where the hens lay and the pallets where he puts the eggs when they are taken off the belt.
The children even got to hold some hens and engaged in a Q & A with PJ. 
​We learned so much, it was an egg-cellent learning experience! 

Lego building

We are so lucky to have some Lego sets on loan from Monaghan Education centre at the minute. We have been having lots of fun creating some moving devices. 

Marathon Kids Ireland

We are currently participating in Marathon Kids which is an 8 week programme where students run 26.2miles over the course of the 8 weeks. We are taking part in 4 running sessions per week for 8 week. We are also learning about the benefits of sport, and about health and wellbeing.

Past-pupil and Monaghan star gives his gloves away to our Jason!

Picture
Lucky Jason Farmer received gloves from local lad and former Scoil Mhuire pupil, Kieran Duffy, at last weekend's Monaghan match against Kildare in Newbridge. 

Monaghan were defeated by a strong Kildare side. Jason spoke to some of the team after the match and plucked up the courage to ask fellow Latton man for his gloves. 
​
Unfortunately, the match didn't go our way but Jason was a happy boy going home with his new gloves!

Gymnastics 2022

We are thrilled to have LA Gymnastics working with us for this term. 
​We are learning lots of new tricks from Caitriona and Ned!

Minecraft Rossmore Park

In a Cross Border Partnership with AmmA, pupils from 3rd/4th and 6th class benefited from a Minecraft trip to Rossmore Park.
They learned about the rich history of Rossmore, from exploring the Castle built in the 1800s, the science behind how coal was used to create coal gas and becoming interior designers decorating a 19th century drawing room.
​A huge thank you to Jamie, from AmmA for facilitating a fantastic workshop for all.

​Valentine's Poetry 

Check out some of the amazing poetry our wonderful class have written.​
Mary & Barry
Mary & Barry went to the quarry
To fetch a lump of coal
Mary said to Barry
If we don't marry
I'll throw myself in a hole!

They had a conversation
That was a sensation
Now Mary is in a hole.
Don't worry about Mary
It's just that she's hairy
And now in love with a mole!

​By Charlie Mc Elroy


​
Roses are red, violets are blue
There's no thing I love more than you.
But maybe some cheese and garlic bread,
Or when a pig flies overhead.
Freshly cut grass, or a sirloin steak,
or some cookies, freshly baked
I love you, it's true
But there's nothing I love more
than my favourite shoes!

By Shane Sullivan
Maisie, my Calf

Maisie is my favourite calf
She's one and she is very smart
Take her for a walk or a trot
Even take her over for a jump.
Give her her meal, give her a lot
Until she is all full up
Give her a wash, especially her legs
Dry her off, give her a brush
Watch her butt, she might buck!
I love you Maisie, 
But not when you're bold!

By Molly Cassidy
​

Eve
I finally worked up the courage
to go the mirror and say
"Will you be my Valentine, on this very fine day?"
To my utter surprise and shock, 
She said "Yes!" to me,
She also has the same name, 
Eve McEntee!

She loves watching movies, 
And loves drinking tea,
She likes all the same things I do, 
She's perfect for me!


By Eve McEntee
​

Dear Diary,
I have a secret crush
When I see him, my heart turns to mush.
He's funny and smart,
He likes the mart,
Oh how hard this is today!

Dear Diary,
I seen him today!
I'm really not ok.
It's so hard...Should I write him a Valentine's card?

Dear Diary, 
I wrote a Valentine's card
It was short and sweet and nice and neat.
He looked me up and down
I really thought he would frown
but no! He lifted me off my feet,
and kissed me twice, on each cheek!

I will tell you now, who this mystery guy is
When I think of him, my heart gives a fizz
I'm hiding in the larder....
My boyfriend is actually my father!

By Orla McCabe

St. Brigid's Day Crosses

On St. Brigid's Day, we learned all about one of Ireland's most famous saints. We did some comprehension work about St. Brigid, some Gaeilge and at the end of the day, we made St. Brigid's crosses. 

Skip to my Lou!

We are really loving skipping at the minute and we have improved so much since we began at the start of January!
We are using our mask breaks and lunchtimes to do lots of skipping!

Dancing with Ms. Mc Cabe

Ms Mc Cabe has been teaching us lots of dancing, in particular sean nós dancing and some dancing to country music. 
We had so much fun. Thanks Ms Mc Cabe!

Christmas 2021

Please enjoy our performance of Band Aid's "Do they know it's Christmas?"

Nollaig Shona Daoibh go léir!

MATHS

We are learning about multiplication and we came across this cool song to help us learn our tables!
In September and October, a soccer coach called Euan came to teach us some soccer skills. We really enjoyed it!

We have been doing some athletics training at the new track in Latton.
​We LOVE doing hill sprints!

Ms Mc Cabe did some sean-nós dancing with us outside, it was so much fun. We will have to practice lots to become as good as her!
