What Makes Us Happy 😊 

We spent the past week or so preparing projects on what makes us happy. A fantastic job by each and every one of the children.

FUN ACADEMY, ROSCREA

2nd to 5th class travelled to Roscrea on 20th June for their school tour. They took part in a variety of activities, dodgeball, sponge polo, roller cars, co-operative games and bouncy castles. A great day was had by all!!

Kindness Cafe with Mr.Wynne's Class

Some serious chats were being had here! The children enjoyed finding out a little more about each other while sampling some fresh fruit.

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY 📖 ✨️ 

To celebrate World Book Day we brought in our favourite book and shared with the class why we liked it so much. We then designed a new cover for our novels. We finished off the day with 20minutes "Accelerated Reader" time!!

Bricks 4 Kidz

We have been very lucky this year to get a chance to participate in the Bricks 4 Kidz Workshops. These sessions give the children the chance to put their problem solving skills to the test while completing hands on projects. We have made a great array of items, from bulldozers to monkeys and even added motors!!

Our final challenge this week (Wednesday 28th February, 2024) was to make a motor powered aeroplane. Here are Niamh, Izzy, Evie and Sarah with their masterpieces!.

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!

Messy Monsters

As part of Construction in Art we worked on making "Messy Monsters" using recyclable materials. Everything from cardboard boxes, bottle caps, tin cans and old batteries were used. The kids did an amazing job.

Writing Workshop

Back in September we had a visit from "Offaly Fighting Words" where we got to try out our Creative writing skills. The class put together a story as a group, entitled "The Missing Case". They were then given the opportunity to work independently to complete the piece. The story can be seen on the website fightingwords.ie where it is listed under School Stories. The children really enjoyed the experience and had great ideas.

SPORTS DAY & JUMBLE SALE

It has been a busy week in Boher, with our Sports Day & Jumble Sale. We all had great fun on Thursday participating in races, throwing events,tug of war and much more! Friday our 5th class joined with 5th&6th for the annual Jumble Sale. It was a great day! 

JUMP FOR JUNE

For the month of June we challenged ourselves to complete 200 skips each morning. We have seen huge improvements...well done all!

School Tour Time "Let's Go A.I.T"

On June 7th, we travelled to A.I.T. for our school tour with Let's Go Tours. We had a ball and got to try out lots of exciting activities. We scaled great heights, rolled around like hamsters and even sprinted like professional athletes. A great day was had by all!! 

Creative Schools

For our Creative Schools Project for May we worked outdoors to create pictures from nature. Everyone created fantastic pieces using natural materials.
