This week each pod in the classroom took responsibility for writing about a different piece of news.  We hope you enjoy reading our news!

Art Project 
Written by Blue Pod

Our art project is based on the American artist called Roy Lichtenstein. We tried to mimic Roy Lichtenstein. We have been creating a piece of art from his ideas of pop art. The art is like comic book art. Roy used onomatopoeia words in his art like, bang, boom, splash, whoosh and things like that. Instead, we made a slight change and used positive emotion words in our art like, zest, peace, love, happiness, joy, pride, hope," and so on. It has been fun to be doing the art and all of the class pictures were great! Have a look at our display. It is filled with colours. 

Classroom Jobs
Written by Green Pod

In our class we have jobs. Every student has their own job to do. We have box leaders,  language leaders, P.E. and topic leaders, cloakroom leaders, Maths leaders, sweepers and library leaders. The box leaders take the boxes off and on the tables every time we come in and out of the classrooms so that John, Naomi and Larysa can clean the classrooms easily. The language leaders bring out the Irish and English copies. The P.E. and topic leaders bring out the topic copies and get the P.E. things for P.E.  The cloakroom leaders get your coats for home time and the Maths leaders bring the Maths books to the pods. Every week we swap jobs. 

Student Council Elections
Written by Yellow Pod and Grace 

We did the student council election on Wednesday last week. A lot of people ran for the job. There were lots of amazing speeches. It was a private vote which means that nobody knows who you voted for. Martha gave us a little piece of paper and we wrote down who we voted for. Martha took the votes and counted them. She told us it was very close but our friend Grace won the vote and she felt proud and happy! It was fun doing the election.

Show and Tell
Written by Orange Pod

In our class, we do a thing called Show and Tell. We have our Show and Tell at lunch time. Martha chooses five people in our class to do Show and Tell every week. Some people sing or dance or tell us some facts. Sometimes they show a video or a picture from home. If you want to show the class something from home, first you take a picture of it. Second you put the picture on Seesaw. Third, book a day to show it. Last but not least, come to school and start your show! Martha lets some people ask questions. They ask really interesting questions. We love to do Show and Tell. It is one of our favourite things to do.

ClassDojo
Written by Red Pod

We use a website called ClassDojo for learning and for fun. You can get points on ClassDojo. You get points for things like, listening, good teamwork, being ready for learning and trying your best. You can use the points in our ClassDojo shop. If you get 10 points you can change your Seesaw avatar. 15 points means that you can change your ClassDojo avatar and if you earn 20 you can earn some free drawing time with a friend.
