We had a lovely treat after midterm when the mobile farm from Agri-aware came in for a visit. There was a large goat named Popcorn, a sheep and her baby lamb named Freckles, some ducks and geese and a calf called Oreo. The ducks and geese were a little cranky but the rest of the animals were delighted to see us.
We had such a good time getting ready for our Christmas show. It was a lot of work but we managed to do 2 super performances for the parents and guardians. Our teacher was very proud of us.We were very lucky with the weather on our Witches' Walk. We got lots of beeps from passing cars which we really enjoyed. They were probably terrified of some of the costumes that we had on!
We have been identifying signs of Autumn in our SESE book this week and as the weather was so lovely, we decided to go outside and look for some ourselves. We are lucky to have some oak and sycamore trees in our school grounds.
We had a lovely start to second class. Louise from Athletics Ireland came in to do a 6 weeks course with us. We tried lots of different types of athletics; long jump, running, javelin throwing and relay racing. The weather stayed nice for it too!This month we have been learning about different types of bridges and how they are constructed. We also learned about famous bridges in Ireland and especially Dublin. I think that our favourite bridge is the new Samuel Beckett bridge. We enjoyed learning that it swings open at a 90 degree angle instead of lifting up like we had thought. Lots of the boys and girls tried making bridges of their own. They did a super job!
We had a great day celebrating Lá Glás this week. On Wednesday we went to the hall to listen to musicans and they played along while we performed our 'clap dance'. We did a super job and were all out of breath! On Friday, we went to the hall again and we each performed our song or poem as gaeilge. We even managed to do our run in all of our green gear!We have had a very busy few days. On Monday we did our Jingle Bell Jog and our Carol service in the church. We performed our Christmas songs in the hall for the parents on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday we had a visit from the man of the Moment, Santa Claus! The Parents Association did a fantastic job of decorating his grotto and he had a selection box for each child. The school celebrated Halloween on the 26th of October. The children all dressed up and visited the Parents Association for Trick or Treating in the hall. We went on our Witches Walk. Vert well done to all of the children for their super fundraising. The children have been really enjoying Maths Week. Some of the mums have been coming in for Maths for Fun and we are very grateful to them for giving up their time. As well as playing fun games, we also went on a maths trail through the school today where we had to complete lots of different tasks. For homework today, we had to use our Maths Eyes to spot mathematical things around our homes. Take a look at all we have been getting up to! |
