Fifth Class April Update

7th May 2026

5th class have had a busy April.  We were learning about scale and mapping which is a very important life skill.  The children measured the area of our classroom which is a massive 76m squared.  If anyone at home is measuring up for new carpets 5th class are the children to go to. 

We also measured the basketball court  with a trundle wheel and that's  270m squared. The children then drew some very accurate  'bird's eye view' maps of our classroom.  I think we may have some budding Dermot Bannons in this class!!! Well done 5th for all your enthusiasm and hard work.
