Spring is all about new life and new beginnings.
The children in 1st Class began exploring signs of Spring and the beautiful flowers that begin to bloom this time of year.
We have planted our very own plants to take care of over the coming weeks. The children enjoyed learning about the process of planting and are eager to see them sprout!
Both First Classes have been extremely busy making fantastic creations with artist Liz from Creativity in the Classroom.
First, the children created their very own stop-motion videos where they had to design and make their very own creatures and backgrounds for their stop-motion videos.
Then the children made relief prints out of foam and old mouse pads and ink.
Take a look below at the wonderful creations!
We had the loveliest ending to a brilliant week celebrating the Irish culture.
We had Sean nós dancing and hurling during the week and it ended with a celebration of Irish language with our Ceolchoirm.
The children have been speaking so much irish all week and it's wonderful to hear.
We hope everyone enjoys St Patricks Day 🍀
1st Class had great fun this week during Literacy Week.
We created our own stories and read them aloud for the class. The stories were very creative and full of adventure!
On Tuesday, we headed over to the library in Richmond Barrack's where Helen read some books to the children. Everyone was very excited - and the children even got to borrow their own book to read at school.
We also created a door display based on the story 'Handa's Surprise'. The children worked very hard at this and it turned out amazing!
The month of December was jam packed with lots of fun activities in 1st Class!
We had our parents join us for an arts and crafts morning in which the children and their parents made some lovely Winter snowmen. We even made matching hats and scarves for our snowmen to keep them warm during Winter.
We also got to visit Santa's Grotto and sing a lovely song for Santa - the children had such good fun!
On our last day before the Christmas holidays, we finished up with a movie and some hot chocolate. There was smiles all round!
There is a great buzz around the school this week as teachers and children get their classroom doors ready for a competition.
We are decorating our doors and it will be judged by Ms. Hanly Tony and an independent adjudicator from Brokke and Delap.
May the best door win 😁
