The past number of weeks the pupils in the Junior room have been studying abstract art. Here you can see their own take on abstract art which they were all very proud of, and don’t they look fantastic!

We are delighted to welcome our new coach from School Fitness Ireland who is teaching the children all about exercise and fitness. The classes will focus on various skills such as balancing, co-ordination, dance, stretching and flexibility, resistance/conditioning, and circuits. We are focusing on enhancing the children’s fundamental movement skills, gross motor skills and locomotor skills.

Here at The Glebe NS we took part in the Ballinasloe Christmas Jumper Day. We proudly raised one hundred and thirteen euro for Galway Hospice and Ballinasloe Social Services. Well done to all the children and didn’t they look great!!

Last week for Science Week we had great fun in the Junior classroom exploring and completing various experiments. Some of the experiments included; making a rainbow in a jar, creating invisible ink, making a rain cloud and we even made our own delicious butter. The children also enjoyed working in pairs using the Lego WeDo kit to improve their construction and coding skills. Some of the older pupils completed some research on a famous scientist of their choice and presented it to the rest of the class. Lastly, we ended the week by taking part in a stem challenge where the children again worked in pairs to make a paper chain as long as they could using only one sheet of paper. We had a great week and look forward to Science Week 2022!

The past number of weeks the pupils in the Junior Room have been learning all about autumn. We have been creating beautiful autumnal art, going on autumn walks and learning all about the seasonal changes. During Aistear the children enjoyed creating hibernation stations. Some of the children brought in some lovely colourful leaves and nests to use during these lessons.
