The Senior Room
Welcome to Mr. McArdle's room
|
We are lucky here in Clara because we have a wonderful collection of board games to enjoy whenever it’s raining and we can’t play outside. They’re a fun way to spend time together, challenge our minds, and have lots of laughs indoors!

Here’s a sneak peek into a music song we’ve been practising in class. We love learning the tin whistle at school and enjoy bringing home the skills we’re learning to play for our families. Playing music together is always exciting and makes our lessons extra special!

Recently, we’ve been using the Microbit website to learn all about programming and coding. We programmed a robot to move around the chess pieces on the table, and we even coded the microchip to display our school name, Clara NS. We had great fun exploring how it all works and really enjoy doing these kinds of activities in school!

Outdoor Classroom
During a recent pleasant spell of weather, we decided to complete some of our tasks outdoors. This including measurement (we wanted to see how big the rooms mentioned in our textbook actually were) and also some reading time.
Art
We really enjoyed having Ms. Tierney in on Thursdays as she created some fantastic ideas for Art. Check out our work below.
