Skype agus ‘Amhrán na gCupán’ le Cloughfinn NS


Bhí spórt againn inniú mar rinne muid Skype le Cloughfinn NS i gContae Dhún na nGall agus chan muid agus sheinn muid ‘Amhran na gCupan’ le cheile.

Today we performed Amhrán na gCupán with Cloughfinn NS from Co.Donegal on Skype. Thank you to Ms. Farry for organising the Skype in Cloughfinn for us and to Múinteoir Tracey for helping us learn the song and the beat pattern.

We learned that Cloughfinn NS is very like our school.It has two teachers, just like our school and about the same number of pupils.

We think we will do some more Skyping with them soon.

Scileanna Rugbaí

Today we started to learn how to play rugby. It was a little bit hard for some people but it was easy enough for me. First we played stuck in the mud for warm up. The games were very fast played because the chasers were very very fast. After we learnt how to catch the ball with the w shape. Your hands wrap around the ball when it touches them. It’s like a magnet. The guys names were Paul,Aiden and James. They were very nice to us. We were tired after so we played tired soldiers. You lie down and don’t move or you’re out.It was fun. John Anthony won he was keeping very very still. We played catching the ball after. They are coming for another few weeks. I am looking forward to seeing them again and learning new skills.

Using Augmented Reality with Aurasma

We wrote stories about ourselves called ‘Mé Féin’, took photos and inserted them in the stories and printed them off. We pinned them up on the classroom wall.
We used these sheets as trigger images.
Then we made videos about ourselves. We got one classmate to interview us and one to film. It was great fun. Then we uploaded the videos as ‘overlays’.
Finally, we used Aurasma to create ‘auras’ for each one so that when you use an iPad to look at our pictures and stories (the trigger images) on our classroom wall, the seem to become alive, (just like Harry Potter’s newspapers), and you can see our videos.
In this video, we see some students showing others how it all works.

On Friday we went on a nature walk.
We saw berries on a tree.
Then we saw a red leaf.
After we saw a tractor along the road.
Then I saw blackberries . I enjoyed the walk.

I heard a bird in the tree.
We looked at autumn leaves.
I saw a strange bug on the wall.
We saw a bush of blackberries on our walk.

Thóg mé alán pictiúrí. Bhí tarracóir ar an bhfeirm. Chonaic mé alán duilleoga ar an mbóthar. Is Maith liom an Fómhar.
