December was a jam packed month. We spent a good bit of time on our Christmas Door for the door competition. The class loved making our Gingerbread House. We practiced Christmas carols. The kids also baked and decorated gingerbread men which they enjoyed eating.
We had a fun November in 5th class. We done football with Dave for a few weeks. The class made lovely Snowmen at night for art. The kids also contributed money to make up two shoe boxes for the Shoe box appeal organised by Ms.Cusack. We began work on our Christmas Door for the Christmas Door competition.
We had a very busy October in 5th class. We went rock climbing at the Dublin rock climbing centre. The class loved it and are eager for another trip there. 6th class organised a maths quiz for maths week which the class enjoyed taking part in. We also done a fun experiment in science where we looked a magnetism. We created ghosts and used magnets to make them float in the air. We also created Halloween characters in art using old lollipop sticks. To end the month and celebrate Halloween we got dressed up and went on our annual Halloween walk.
We spent a while getting use to being one big class. We played ice breaker games to get to know each other better. We learnt about volcanoes in Geography. We built volcanoes in art. In science we learnt about the reaction between an alkaline (baking soda) and an acid (vinegar). We used our volcanoes to test this reaction which created a volcanic eruption. We performed the experiment in front of the school in assembly.

We had a great day on the 10th of February where we celebrated Love Bomb Day. Some children dressed in red or pink.
We had a visit from the ice cream man much to the delight of all our pupils.
Junior Infants were exploring the theme of the shop and café this month in Aistear. Children became both shoppers and cashiers in the role play station. In the Lego station, children designed and constructed their own shops and the doll houses provided great entertainment for small world play.
We finished up our Love Bomb week in school with a school visit from the ice-cream van! Children wore pink and red to spread awareness of our love bomb week and enjoyed their yummy treat on yard.
