Our Assembly on Community
 

We did our assembly for the whole school in January. We based our assembly on the well known children's story Farmer Duck. We wanted to remind the school that our Sacred Heart goal this year is Community. We are all a family and we must work together.
We loved doing our performance!

Garda School Talks

Garda Emma, our community guard came in to visit 5th class to give a talk on her role in the community. We were very interested and look forward to the next talk on internet safety. Some girls were lucky enough to try on the Garda uniform. Lia was handcuffed but luckily she was released without charge.

The Renaissance


The Renaissance


 We learned about the Renaissance in school.

Each girl was given a Renaissance artist to research and do a project on to present to the class. 

The projects were amazing, lots of hard work was put in. We did a lot of art based on The Renaissance. 


We painted the Sistine Chapel like Michelangelo (except we painted under our desks). 
We created our interpretation of Leonardo Di Vinci's Mona Lisa. Each girl was given a section of the painting. She had to link up with all the other girls who had a piece near her, so as to make it look more realistic. This was a difficult but enjoyable task, have a look at our fantastic work
