Ms Fogarty & Ms Joyce's 6th Class
Welcome back to all the boys in 6th class! We are looking forward to what will hopefully be a fantastic last year in St Lorcans for all the class! Keep an eye on our class page to see what we get up to during the year!!
September
This month we learned all about the counties of Ireland and we looked up facts on each one!
Our mini fact files on the counties of Ireland.
In Gaeilge we did a lot of work based on the theme of Mé Féin for the month of September. We learned 6 sentences each week and as a result by the end of the month we could write our first Irish essay based on Mé Féin!!
Rowing
One of the big perks of 6th class is getting the chance to rowing on Friday morning in Islandbridge! Each Friday 8 boys spend one hour on the river learning proper rowing technique and all about water safety!!
Run a Marathon!!
Over the course of the next 8 weeks we aim to run a marathon1 Each day we will run a distance of 1-2km and after 8 weeks we will have run 42km the distance of a full marathon!!! Keep an eye on our page for photos and updates on our progress!!

November
In November we Remember
At the start of the month we celebrated All Souls day. On this day we remember all our loved ones who have passed away. Each boy decorated and coloured in a flower. In the centre of each flower they wrote the name or names of the people they wanted to remember.
Run A Marathon
Back in September we took on the challenge of trying to run the distance of a full marathon which is 42km!! Over the next number of weeks we went out each day and ran at least 1km! We finally reached our target of 42km. We were all presented with t shirts to mark the occasion! It's a huge achivement to be able to say we have run a marathon and we are all very prud of ourselves!!!

Christmas is a very special time of the year and during Advent we prepare for the birth of the baby Jesus. Each Monday in class we will light one of the candles on our Advent Wreath.
