Kilbrittain National School

Welcome to 4 & 5 Class’ web page.
There are 21 children in our class, 12 in 4 Class
and 9 in 5 Class. We are lucky enough to have 2 teachers, Mrs Coffey and Mrs O’Donoghue.
We have had a very busy September, with lots of classroom activities and
extra curricular activities also.
This month we particularly enjoyed:
Learning about the Digestive system – we found this website great for both learning and a great quiz afterwards

The Solar System
We learned about our place in space and learned the names of the nine planets – we found out that Pluto is no longer a planet – it’s a dwarf planet now! We found this rhyme helpful in remembering the names of the planets in order:
My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets

Next we learned
“The counties of Ireland”.
