Halloween Dress Up!!
|
 |
Tineteriffe was invaded by a host of witches, vampires and all sorts of ghouly monsters on Friday the 27th of October. A great day was had by all with many of the homemade costumes ( which had taken weeks to assemble), so entertaining for everyone. Even the staff were in on the act, with pirates, nuns and witches teaching the classes for the day. Our annual Halloween parade was held in the school hall, with prizes given for the best outfit in each of the classrooms. Well done everyone!! |

5th and 6th Tour to Dublin; EPIC, Jeanie Johnston and Jump Zone
 |
Epic Museum When we first got off the bus we had some food and waited to go in. After that we went in the museum and they gave us these headsets so are guide could talk to us. Then we started the tour she told us to go down these step and then she just told us the rules and the finally we started. The museum was made out of really old bricks are guide shows us all the little details. It was really cool in my opinion. But she kinda rushed it all especially the fun/cool rooms. Harriet; 5th |
 |
 |
We arrived at Jump Zone at half one and left around half two(maybe a bit later because we were getting ready and changed to go shopping).We started by going into a little changing room and taking off our shoes and putting on grip socks(which we got to keep) and the ‘tour guide’ gave us those wristbands that you get at concerts. He led us out on to the trampolines which were kind’ve little 1 by1 meter squares. He then showed us the ninja course with like little glass platforms you have to jump across and a climbing wall except you went across horizontally instead of vertically. There was also some other obstacles, like punching bags with ropes tied around it and you jumped from one to another. He let us jump around for a while and called us over to an area that had trampolines that you jumped across into a kind of foam pit and there was also vaults you jumped off onto some trampolines and threw yourself as far as you could(if you wanted to).After letting us mess around for another while then another group came and we had to leave and he took us over to 2 balance beams. Liam 5th We went to jump zone and we got these jump zone socks. After that we watched this jump zone video and then we headed out to the trampolines. There was this obstacle course and my favourite obstacle course challenge was monkey bars but they were swinging. After that we went in foam pit were there was this ladder and you climb up it and steep trampolines, so you bounce on it and you jump in the foam pit. It was really fun. Than after that we went to these ramps like they use in Ireland's fittest family. There was a beam where you need to knock the person in the foam pit and that was great fun. Gearoid; 5th |
Jump Zone The workers at Jump Zone showed us where to take our shoes off and they also gave us socks with grips at the bottom so you don't slip!. After that they showed us a video explaining the rules and let us go on the trampolines. Firstly we went on the small trampolines and a ninja warrior course!. Secondly we were over at the airbag. The airbag is like a foam pit so you jump on the trampolines and you land on the airbag!. Then they had some orange juice for us and we had a little break. After that we headed for the trampolines again!. We had a soft thing to try and get each other to fall into the foam pit!.
Shortly after we went to more trampolines and we played dodgeball. It was great fun!. Kate. 5th |
After Jump Zone, we went to a big shopping centre. We got split up into groups and went around into different shops. First we went to KFC, Me, Eoin, Ogie, Danny and Sean, all chipped in money to buy a family bucket to share. When we were done, we went into JD’s, we spent about 30 minutes there. Then we went to Life Style Sports, we had a quick look and I bought a cap. Alex; 6th On the day of the school tour we went shopping and it was really good. The girls wanted to go to Pennys and the boys went to JDs. It was fun but after Jessica K got lost and so did Corey they got found so after that we went to Mcdonalds. It was a good trip.and that was our trip But the negative thing was that we barely got any time to shop.The plus thing is we all had a good day. Jack 6th

3rd and 4th Class Tour to Ballyhass, Mallow.
Ballyhass Activity Centre, June 7th, 2023!
Rock Climbing and abseiling Before the rock climbing we had to put on helmets and harnesses. Then we headed over to the cliff and John Paul got attached to a rope so he couldn't fall.He got all the way to the top. Then it was Michael's turn.Hhe got to the top as well.Then finally it was my turn. I only got halfway up. After that we went home.
Maurice 4th class .................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Gladiator Gladiator is like an ESB pole with loads of obstacles. Cormac and John went first and they got up there like a rocket. Then they both jumped off at the same time.Then it was me and Maurice. Ii got up but Maurice didn't. When I got up it was fair tall. I stayed up there for a minute or two and then I jumped off.Then it was Bill and Micheal. Bill got to the top Micheal didn't, then Bill jumped off. Conor 4th Class |
Gladiator The Gladiator is an obstacle course that you climb up instead of going through. You have to climb up logs,a ladder, a net, tyres and then you have to climb up one more log and you're up. Me and Daire went at the same time but we did not race. I think I got on well because I made it to the top.But when I looked down I got a shiver up my spine. If you make it to the top before the team members let you down you have to make an animal sound. By Mia 4th class |

Aquapark BallyHass The BallyHass school tour aquapark. The aquapark in Ballyhass was really big and they said it was the biggest aquapark in Munster. We were waiting a while for the other schools to change but once we got on in the water it was worth the wait. There was a trampoline, a big slide, there was a jumping place and even a hamster wheel. When I got on the hamster wheel with Conor and Bill we kept falling over and it was really funny. Then we went on a really big puffy balloon thingy and we kept pushing each other off and it was great crack. Overall it was a really fun day and I highly recommend going there. By Cormac 4th class

Rock climbing and abseiling! By Ella 4th Class!
|
 Team challenges James; 4th Class Our school tour to Ballyhass! After lunch we split into groups. One group headed to do the gladiator. Our group went rock climbing and abseiling. We walked down a path and stopped at a smooth bit of a small cliff. There were ropes hanging from the cliff. Our instructor told us to try and touch the chain at the top. I went first. The instructor clipped the rope onto my harness. I used a rock that was jutting out to start. I used loads of cracks and some rocks to get to the top. Eventually I touched the chain. Beside me Ella touched the chain too. We headed down. I thought it was a bit scary going down so I went down fairly slowly. Finally I got to the bottom. I helped with pulling the ropes. Soon everyone had a go. We finished up and went on to the next thing, which was The Gladiator!
|
Aqua Park The aqua park is an inflatable course on the water. We went to the aqua park after an obstacle course. We had to wait for a different school to be finished getting changed into their wetsuits. When we were ready to go into the water we had to swim over to it ourselves. It was super fun. I jumped into the water and first I went on the trampoline. Next I jumped off of the tallest obstacle. It was super fun. Everyone had so much fun. Joe 4th class BALLYHASS After the aqua park we collected our bags and walked over to the lunch area. There was a cafe so I went inside with my friends and bought an ice cream. Then we sat down on a bench and ate our lunches. The weather was so nice. When we were done we went over to the fence to look at the cool lake. After a few minutes, Billy and Sarah came to collect us to bring us to our next activity. Daire; 4th Class GLADIATOR The gladiator is a big tall object that has obstacles on it like a net and tyres and more, that you have to climb up very high. Cormac and John Ppaul were first to go. They both did really well.I think John Paul got up first but not by very much.When it was my turn I felt a bit nervous, but I still did it. I was up against Michael. He did really well. We both got to the very top.When I looked down I was frightaned . To get down you had to hold on to your rope and jump. I wasn't that scared because I knew I was safe. By Bill 4th class |
Ballyhass Aquapark We went to Ballyhass for our school tour. The second activity we did was the aquapark. We went down to the changing rooms to change into our wetsuits and get ready. Then we went down to the pier and jumped into the water. The aquapark was amazing. It had three jumping platforms, a few slides, a hamster wheel, a trampoline and a big pillow in the middle. I did everything on it. The jumping platforms were my favourite. Joe and I were wrestling each other on the big pillow. The aquapark was probably my favourite thing at Ballyhass. Eoghan 4th class

On the bus ride home we were all tired and a bit hungry. Some people fell asleep and some didn't. It was a long ride home that we got back at half 6. When we were driving back everyone kept asking the teacher when we would be home. The teacher came around to check on us to make sure we were ok. We said it was too hot and that she could open the sunroof. The bus driver also turned on the air conditioner too. We were delighted to be home after a long but enjoyable day. Micheál; 4th Class

Student Council Bake Sale
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Tineteriffe bake sale It was a drizzly and cloudy Friday morning and we were all hyped up. We had everything prepared for the bake sale. There was a huge selection of treats baked by many volunteers and students. The tables in the halla were packed with tasty treats.. All the council members gathered together at half ten to begin setting up. We were all very excited. The juniors and seniors were our first customers. They immediately began to descend upon the tasty treats. It was quite chaotic racing up and down to the till but we were able to handle the chaos. John Paul and James managed our guess the sweets game, Jessica oversaw the till, Emma and Joe ran the 2 euro table and Brid and Maeve took care of the 2 for a 1 euro and one euro each table. Mrs Bourke helped with the sale of the tempting cakes, breads and tarts. Then the first and second surged in to buy their delectable treats and they had a blast and the money was rolling in. The amount of sweets in the box station was crowded and was a big success. Thankfully all the teachers helped sell the attractive goods. When the third and fourth burst through the doors we were selling like crazy. The tables were almost empty by the time they were finished. The sweet table had lots of guesses, some a bit wild. Everyone was hoping to win! When the fifth and sixth came in we had everything out so they began to buy all around them. Cakes, buns and so much more. It was quite crazy but very enjoyable. There was nothing under the tables any more; it was empty and bare. Finally some parents came. They bought a good bit of stuff and took them home with bright and happy faces. Despite all of the customers there was still a few things left. The Tineteriffe bake sale was enjoyable for all and it was profitable too. We raised nine hundred and seventy euro to go towards benches for the school. And not to forget students going home with happy stomachs. Especially John Paul who guessed the amount of sweets in the jar. It was one hundred and eighty seven. A special thank you to the student council and all of the teachers. And of course the students and parents for buying and baking all of our treats. It was a great success and we are overjoyed with the outcome of our bake sale.

Thanks to the Parent's Council for bringing back one of our favourite days in Tineteriffe! We all licked our lips and appreciatated the freshly made pancakes smothered in chocolate spread, lemon and sugar and fresh fruit!! Many parents sent in freshly made pancakes from home to help supplement the hard work in the halla's kitchenette. Our wonderful pancake tossing challenge was great fun with many ending up on the floor, some in the fying pan and luckily none on the ceiling! Long may this tradition continue!! |

Our School Tour We went to Stonehall Farm and Tons of Fun on our school tour. We went on a bus. At the farm we saw lots of animals. The llama put back his ears and we were afraid he might spit at us. The alpacas were really fluffy. Timmy the gander was very cross. He followed Mrs Meskell and tried to bite her coat. We saw a white fluffy Husky. He was very friendly. The pretty peacocks made strange loud noises. One peacock was white. We loved the owls. Hedwig the owl stared at us. The barn owls rocked from side to side listening to us and they flew around. We saw lots of hens. Our favourite cow was Oreo because she looked like an Oreo. We had our lunch in a big shed. After that we went on the bouncing castle and the go-karts. We had lots of fun. Then it was time to go back on the bus to Tons of Fun. At Tons of Fun we played ‘boys catch girls’ and ‘Ireland’s Fittest Family’. We went down the yellow slide lots and lots of times. Sometimes we got stuck in it with our friends. We climbed up really high and waved down at all the grownups. Soon it was time to go home. We had a lovely day with all our friends. |

Me and Darragh had such a good time body boarding in Lahinch. The coaches helped us use the body boards. We went out far into the sea and got huge waves that made us go into the shore!!!.We fell into the water loads of times but it was still fun!!!.And before we went body boarding we went to the park and there was this big climbing frame there. And before that there was a marine biologist that thought us loads of interesting things about sea creatures. The only bad part about the school tour was going home! Darragh and Alex!

Having fun in the playground during lunch time! |

We found loads of sea creatures. The coolest one is that I thought is strawberry anemone. I never knew that jellyfish sting when they’re dead. I found lots of animals. I found barnacles! Eabha!
In the morning we met a marine biologist . She told us about the creatures on the beach We went body boarding .We had to be split up into four groups. There was blue red yellow and white. What we had to do is if we saw a wave we had to place the body board softly on the water and when a wave came we to kick our legs. Lucy and Abbie! |

Science Blast, May 2019!
 |
Science Blast On Thursday, 23 rd of May, 6 th class attended the Science Blast in Mary Immaculate. Science Blast is a non competitive initiative which aims to support core science and maths skills in primary school children. Our class project was called ‘How much fuel can our parents save by driving slower for a fortnight?’ We arrived at Mary I @ 8 am and we set up our STEM project stand. When our stand was put together, we got the chance to go around and look at other stands participating in the Science Blast. At 10 am we went to see Scientific Sue. She taught us about plastic in the ocean and she showed us the effects of plastic pollution on marine life. There are a lot of alternatives to plastic, such as ‘plastic’ made from starch which does not harm marine life. After 11am the judges came around to look at our STEM project. She told us she was an engineer and she was interested in our project as it was a ‘relevant and very practical piece of work’ Next, we went to see Marty Jopson and his show called ‘Dangerous Equations’. He did dangerous stunts while explaining the Maths behind them. He broke three pieces of wood with his hand because he had worked out how many joules needed to break it. He also sliced a teacher’s newspaper with a bull whip. He also used a tessellator to create music using an electric current. In the final hour, the judges came back around to give us their feedback on our project. She said she was ‘extremely impressed with the group’s ability to enlist a large group of participants and diligence gathering the information’. She said our ‘evidence was clearly communicated using a mix of bar charts, pie charts and tables’ creating a ‘vibrant display’. She also said our group demonstrated ‘energy in communicating their work to the judges’ and it was a ‘testament to the passion and determination I’m sure they will bring back to their day to day work’. We had a great day and we really recommend Science Blast. By 6 th class

Dave Swift was an archaeologist, but he lost his job during the recession. Now he is a costume organiser for movies and re enactments. He doesn’t just specialise in Vikings, he also teaches about 1916, WW2, and War of Independence. In Viking times Limerick was called Hylmsrek. It was founded around 922 A.D. In these times swords and other weapons were valuable, shields were worth 2 horses. The swords were made out of iron. The Vikings came to Ireland because they wanted the gold from the monasteries and all the wealthy objects like the Book of Kells. If there was a lightning storm the monks would take refuge from the Vikings in the round towers and the lightning would blast of the roof of the round towers. Most of the time when the archaeologists find round towers the roof has been blasted off. The Battle of Clontarf started over losing a chess game, Brian Boru won the battle decapitated by Brodir one of the key fighters during the Battle of Clontarf. After that Brodir was captured and had his stomach cut open then had his organs wrapped around a tree and was made walk around the tree ripping his insides out. The coins were minted by a man called Sitric Silken Beard, the coins were extremely thin and very lightweight. In conclusion, it was very interesting and we learned loads.

Our Viking Visit Dave Swift, an expert on Vikings, came to our school on Wednesday 23 rd of January on behalf of the Heritage Council. Dave is an archaeologist and a stunt man from Ballinasloe, Co.Galway. He has been part of TV projects for BBC, RTE and even acted as Christan Bale’s stunt double in a movie once! When Dave arrived we saw him setting up his gear, which included amazing replicas of shields, swords, clothes and jewellery from Viking times. It was very exciting to watch. First, he spoke to us about the important dates relating to Vikings in Ireland. He passed around some artefacts throughout the day. He showed us PowerPoints on defence, daily life and medicine, and even showed us some techniques used in battles. We liked learning about the Gods because the days of the week were named after them - Tyr was Tuesday, Woden was Wednesday, Thor was Thursday, Fria was Friday and Saturn was Saturday. Monday and Sunday are named after the sun and moon. We had a great day looking at the artefacts and learning about the Vikings. Thanks to Dave for spending the day with us!

My favourite thing this year was when we went to Athlone Baysports on the 26th of June 2018 for our school tour . We went on the MASSIVE BOUNCY CASTLE . We weren't allowed on the worlds tallest floating water slide which weighed 2 tonnes. It looks really good. I loved the inflatable water park. It had lots of slides and you could run and jump.You couldn’t dive or flip. We toasted marshmallows as part of a bushcraft. When I was about to eat mine it fell into the fire. By Tommy D

For our school tour we went to Baysports, Athlone . First we went on the SUP boards . We kept on crashing into the reeds . Then we had a race, we came second . Then we had had a small lunch . After that we went on the Chinese dragon boats . The drummer would shout row and then the rest would shout row back and row . Then we did bush crafting . Its where you would get rocks and make a circle with them . Then they would give you this tissue and this straw and you would have to find a stick to put your marshmallow on . They would then light the fire . We had to be very careful of the fire . Soon after that when we all had our marshmallows we went pedal boarding . Me, Molly, Grace and Hannah went on one . They were really fun . Then we had lunch . After we had lunch we went on the water park. You could have swum over or go in the boat . I chose boat because they said it was really deep. But then they tested you you make sure you could move around in the water . I could but it was sooooooo hard to get up . There were these trampolines . You could go down slides . I found it really annoying at the start that you had to swim over to the slides . But after a little while I enjoyed it . By Ruth, 4th Class!

Cathal came first in his heat for u12 front crawl and got to the semi final where he finished 3rd and unfortunately again only two to qualify for the final. Aoife came 3rd in her heat for u14 frontcrawl with only two to qualify just missing out by a split second. Holly Hartigan came 2nd in her heat and got to the final also.

OUR TRIP TO THE HUNT MUESUM On the 9 th of September 2017, 5 th and 6 th class went to the Hunt Museum in County Limerick. We went there as we learn about art at school. We went to see paintings by two famous Irish artists, Jack B Yeats and Paul Henry. First, we got on the bus and we drove to the Hunt Museum. My partner was Hannah and Sophie’s was Heather. Then, we got to the Hunt Museum and went to the Viking workshop and got to touch all the interesting artefacts. Our guide was Shay and he told us all about Viking history. There were weapons and combs and stuff they used in their own lives. Next we went to see the fabulous paintings by Jack B Yeats and Paul Henry .Sophie’s favourite artist was Paul Henry and mine was Jack B Yeats. Finally we were finished at the art exhibition in the Hunt Museum and we set off on our journey back to Tineteriffe N.S. We learnt a lot at the Hunt Museum about Jack B Yeats and Paul Henry .We would definitely recommend it to others .It was a great day out with all our friends. By Sally, 5th Class! |

Recount: Our Trip to the Hunt Museum On Tuesday the 9 th of September, 2017 we went to the Hunt museum with 6 th class to see the Jack. B. Yeats and Paul Henry exhibition. We went because it was part of our art curriculum. First we got on the bus. I was sitting beside Scott, my friend. I had already been to the exhibition but I liked it the first time so I was excited. Then we got to the museum. We had to wait for the 5 th class to look at the pictures but we got a handling session while we were waiting. A man showed us things from Viking times such as swords, armour and clothing items. After that we got to see the pictures .They were really good and it was interesting learning about them. I also loved learning about the artists themselves. I liked Paul Henry’s paintings more than Yeats. It was a great trip. I would definitely recommend it. It was really interesting and I enjoyed it a lot By: Alex, 5 th Class |
