Road Safety Talk

 

3rd Class had a visit from Christine, a Community Garda.

She talked about how to stay safe when out walking and cycling.

Hallowe'en Horrors

We transformed into garish ghouls for Hallowe'en. Check us out here in the before and after pictures.

October Art

We have been learning a poem "Wizard" by Richard Edwards. We drew some images from the poem.

Under my bed I keep a box
With seven locks,

And all the things I have to hide
Are safe inside:

My rings, my wand, my hat, my shells,
My book of spells.

I could fit a mountain into a shoe
If I wanted to,

Or put the sea in a paper cup
And drink it up.

I could change a cushion into a bird
With a magic word,

Or turn December into spring,
Or make stones sing,

I could clap my hands and watch the moon,
Like a white balloon,

Come floating to my window sill...
One day I will.

Room 22 made a scarecrow for Hallowe'en.

We used chalk pastels to draw still life.

Gymnastics

 Ms Burns' Class had gymnastics lessons with Mairéad this term. She taught us how to do a forward roll, backward roll and a bridge. We took part in many other stretching and balancing activities which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Library Visit

 

On 29th September Ms Burns' Class visited the library. Cavan Library provides a great service to all readers young and old.

Biodiversity with Dale

Our friend Dale Treadwell returned to speak to our classes about the 5 Bs of Biodiversity (bugs, butterflies, bees, bats and birds). He talked about each of these in our classrooms. We got to use bug viewers to examine minibeasts. Dale then brought us to the yard where we discovered which minibeasts/ birds were using our school grounds as their habitat. Dale then read some of the books he has written. We really enjoyed his visit.
