Talbot Senior National School

The winner of the cover competition for the “We Are Writers” book is………..

Erin McCormack in Mr Gordon’s Class!!!!

Well done!

Today we started a pilot project with 6th and 3rd class! Each 3rd class child is matched with a senior Maths Buddy! The 6th class children are given 3 maths word problems to solve. They work out the answers first in their own class room. They use problem solving strategies to work out the answer. They then meet with their junior buddy and help them work out the problems using the strategies!

On Monday begins Catholic Schools Week. We’re going to celebrate it in many ways — like learning more about our friend Don Bosco and about the greatest Irish female saint, St Brigid.

Each morning over the intercom some 6th class children will read some special prayers and thoughts, which you can read here: Prayers and Thoughts for Each Day 2013 CSW. If you are a Christian, they will help us with our Faith. Let’s have a great week!

Maths for Fun started in Ms. Shaw’s class this morning. We had 5 stations with games on fractions, money, shape, tables and time!

Paired reading with 3rd and 5th class started this week!

Well done to our Hurling Team. They played against St. Marks and Queen of Angels. Talbot won the Shield final and got to the final of the cup!!!

Maths for Fun started in Ms. Walsh’s Class today. We had five parents who came in to play maths games with the class. Check out the video below!
