Thankful Thursday
On Thursday we spent some time thinking about all the things we are thankful for in our lives. We wrote these down on a piece of card.
Fabric and Fibre Workshop
This week Geraldine from Heritage in Schools came to visit. She talked to the children about how wool was removed from sheep long ago using a shears and also how the people long ago were able to dye wool using a variety of plants. She showed them how to spin wool using a spinning wheel and then the children got to make wristbands by weaving wool.
Look at our beautiful paintings!
First class had great fun playing shop. They had to buy items in the shop, add amounts of money and give the correct change.
Hurling Training
We are really enjoying our hurling training each Tuesday. Thank you to Brendan and Martin for coaching us every week and for all the fun activities they plan for us.
Positive Primary Tuesday
We all wore green on the day. We made buckets and everyone wrote a compliment about us to put into our buckets. We were delighted reading all the nice compliments we received.
Science Week!
We had great fun during Science Week. We made towers from wooden pegs and lollipop sticks. We made boats using a single sheet of paper. We had great fun checking to see is they would float. We also made lava lamps and we carried out an experiment to investigate transportation of water in plants.
Happy Halloween
Fun in the Playground
Climate Action Week
On Wednesday we tuned into Green School's HQ for Storytime with author and illustrator Oisín McGann. Oisín read his book "We Want Our Park Back" and also did a drawing session with the children.
Afterwards we had a discussion in class about the importance of our local playground to us and how we all have to work together to ensure it's a nice place for us all to visit.

2 D Shapes in Maths
We are learning all about 2 D Shapes in 2nd Class. We enjoyed making the shapes using pegs and matchsticks.
Our Teeth
We have been learning all about our teeth in 1st and 2nd class. We identified our incisors, canines, pre-molars and molars. We discovered that our teeth are various sizes and shapes depending on the job they need to do.

We enjoyed a wonderful Wig Wednesday in aid of Hand in Hand. Thank you to the School Council for organising the day.
Best of luck to Galway today from 1st and 2nd class!
