We had a wonderful day today in Room 8. Our Grandparents’ came in to our classroom to spend some time with us. They read us stories, they showed us old artefacts from when they were growing up, and as Grandparents’ always do, they told us funny jokes. We performed a concert for our Grandparents. They particularly loved when we sang Yellow Submarine by the Beatles, they remembered it being played on the radio when they were growing up. HURRAY TO GRANDPARENTS! click here to view more...

The Mums and Dads showed us how to play lots of interesting maths games like Domino Car Park and Treasure Hunt. We would like to thank our volunteers as this event would not be possible without them. We are looking forward to this week! Please click here to see some more...

This week children have been working really hard using the academic language linked to the ‘Garden Centre’ during our oral language lessons. Children have had opportunities to act in role as the cashier and customer, to meet and greet each other and to buy a range of goods from the Garden Centre to include plants, soil,watering cans and flowers! Mrs Swan was really impressed with how well the children worked together and acted in role. She was also delighted with how much academic language Room 1 has acquired during our topic linked to the Garden Centre! For more photos from our oral language lesson please click...

Room 2 have been learning all about the clothes shop this week. They made shopping lists, wonderful clothes out of different materials, and used their money (1, 2 and 5 cents) to buy their friends presents, checking the clothes were the right size, and not too big or small. They learnt a new rhyme about three little kittens who lost their mittens, made their own set of patterned mittens and created waterproof coats for Vinny so he doesn’t get wet in that rainy weather we’ve been having recently… especially now that we can make rain in room 2 with our rainmakers! Room 2 have been learning lots about the weather and decided it rains a LOT during the Winter season in Ireland! For more photos of them at work and play see...
