Week 1

Guess Who.......

This Month we will be undertaking a super cool project about a historical site in our area. Lets see who can guess which site we will be studying!

KWL - The Curragh

 Lets find out what we know and what we want to know about the Curragh. If you think you know something about the Curragh come up to the board and write on the 'K' section of the chart! If you can think of something interesting you WANT to know about the Curragh, come up to the board and write on the 'W' section of the chart. We will come back to this in week four and fill out the 'L' section of the chart and show everyone how much we have learned!
