Last week third class worked in groups and researched the experiences of children in developing countries. Each group created an e-book about the life of children in the country they were researching. Have a look at some of our e-books!

Hour of Code took place worldwide from December 5-11th. Our class took part and really enjoyed it. We really enjoyed Minecraft, Flappy Bird and Moana coding. If you would like to try out some coding go to www.hourofcode.org/learn. On the map below you can see all the schools in Ireland who participated in the hour of code, GETNS are on the map!
Earlier this term 3rd class had lots of fun creating, filming and editing stop motion animations. Here are a few of the animations we created!

Third Class have been learning about lots of different artists over the last few weeks. During our latest art project we learnt about Jackson Pollock. Inspired by Jackson Pollock’s artwork pupils created art pieces on canvas. Pupils used lots of different tools to drip paint onto the canvas like Jackson Pollack did.
A special thank you to Sarah Rubin for all her work with our class.
This week Third Class have been taking on the task to create a maths board game for Maths Week! We have been working on them for the past week and we presented them today! We have seen many good maths games already, and there are still more to come! We have had a 60 second challenge by Evan, a truth or dare game by Torin, a card game by Maya Rubin and a Monkey Goes Bananas! by Natanya. We have enjoyed playing the games and some of them are quite imaginative.

Our class were delighted to have a visit from Tessa’s mom Aisling last Friday. Aisling is a nutrionist and she spoke to us about healthy eating and how different foods can help us stay healthy. She made a delicious green juice, jammed packed with lots of vegetables and fruit. Aisling also brought in some dough (made with cacao and lots of other healthy ingredients) so we could roll our own healthy treats.
We have been learning to code over the last two months. In December we participated in the Hour of Code (hourofcode.org). This month we are coding using Scratch. 
We were delighted to have our first French class today with Caroline (Jenna’s mother). We learnt how to ask somebody their name and how to reply. We learnt lots of other interesting facts about the French language and French food. We are looking forward to our next lesson.
