Junior Infants
Róisín’s Junior Infant class have been very busy this month- we even had a visit from some chickens last week!

Some very hungry caterpillars
Ron and Christian dug up some cabbages and brought them into our junior classes. They had lots and lots of caterpillars on them. The caterpillars munched their way through some more leaves before making little cocoons for themselves. We can’t wait until they transform into butterflies.
The School Garden
Some children from 4th,5th and 6th class have been busy working in the school garden. This year we harvested potatoes, carrots, parsnips and cabbage. Our beautiful sunflowers are nearly ready to have their seeds harvested and saved for planting next year.

Pointillism in fourth class
Fourth class. We studied pointillism in art this week. We created these beautiful pieces by using just dots. Some masterpieces are still being created, we are very proud of them.
Rosie’s Walk – Susanne’s class
We really enjoyed reading Rosie’s Walk by Pat Hutchins and we were thrilled when Emily from Erin’s class brought in her real “Rosie” to show us. Real “Rosie” took a walk in our classroom and Emily showed us how best to pet her. Thanks Emily!

We found out that […]

We started each morning with playtime where the children built wonderfully imaginative structures with lego, created a variety of figures with playdough, made jigsaw puzzles and played in our classroom shop, buying and selling food. We discussed our class news each morning and the children wrote about it in […]
