Friendship Week

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

We really enjoyed our recent Friendship Week. We talked about the importance of being a good friend and made secret friendship cards. We picked a name out of a hat and wrote lovely cards for our secret friends. We also made friendship bracelets for secret friends. We thought about colours and patterns that our friend would like. Finally we made a friendship garden. Every child decorated a circle for the centre of the flower, then we wrote lovely words to describe people on petals and gave them to our friends to decorate their flowers. When we put all of the flowers together they made a beautiful friendship garden.

Minibeast Detectives

We went on a minibeast hunt around the school. We discovered woodlice, centipedes and slugs hiding under the logs in our outdoor classroom. We also found and identified different minibeasts in our minibeast hotel and also in the sensory garden. We used a magnifying glass to examine them carefully. We learnt lots of information about minibeasts in science lessons. We also made minibeasts out of playdough and created minibeast pictures in art. We used the work of Dutch artist Henri Matisse to create collages of our favourite minibeasts. We really enjoyed "drawing with scissors". Our pictures are on display in our classroom.

Future GAA All Stars

We held our own All Ireland final. It was a very exciting match. We can't wait to take part in the school league next year. 

Maths Games

Maths games let us apply our skills in different situations. We can learn a lot through play. We plan, problem solve, discuss and evaluate when we play. We also work together and have lots of fun.
