The Staff and pupils of Ratheniska N.S. would like to wish everyone in our school and local community a happy and safe Easter! We are looking forward to Term 3 which will start on April 12th.
Easter Hunt in Seniors
RatheniskaDespite the unseasonal weather today Senior Infants went outside for their Easter Egg hunt. They had great fun practicing their reading skills looking for clues and they had to use their Orienteering skills to make their way around the school grounds!
First Class Chefs!
RatheniskaFirst Class have been working on procedural writing this term. We decided to write about how to make giant chocolate buttons. We made a list of all the ingredients and wrote out all the steps in the recipe. Then of course, like all good chefs, we had to do a taste test!!! They were scrumptious!
Outdoor Learning in Infants
RatheniskaAs Easter approaches and the weather is on our side, we are taking our class work outside whenever possible. Senior Infants decided to get going on their Easter Art and enjoyed being in the fresh air while the Junior Bunnies practise their sight words outdoors daily!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2021
RatheniskaIn a year where we will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at home with our families, we got into the spirit in school today. We dressed up, danced, played music, got creative and generally enjoyed celebrating our national feast day with all our friends. Click on the video and enjoy!
Nest Building in Rang 1
RatheniskaAs Rang 1 explore the theme of An t-Earrach, they took their learning out of the classroom and into the local environment to try out their skills at building nests! Great hands-on learning with very impressive results!
World Book Day 2021
RatheniskaWe celebrated World Book Day on Thursday March 4th. Those of us who were in school had book scavenger hunts, we painted our favourite characters and some of us explored our feelings through stories. Those who continue with homelearning explored the World Book Day website with its many ideas and some re-created the covers of their favourite books.
Here is just a sample of what we did!
