Santa visited our classroom today. We had great fun with our Christmas annual. We also got some sweets 😋

We watched Raahat, an author and illustrator, create a winter scene. She made it seem quite easy. Our cards turned out well too.

Today we worked in groups of three. There were Christmas themed problems. Each group had a mix of 3rd & 4th. We worked hard together and enjoyed solving them.

Look at our beautiful winter display. We used pastels to create a background.

We received our pennant today for all of the wonderful farm safety work that our school has engaged with this term. We have received the first one for Animal Safety and Wellbeing from AgriKids. We hope to earn more pennants in the future towards eventually earning an overall Farm Safety Flag for our school. Well done to everyone for all of their dedication to farm safety in our school community! Keep up the great work! 👏 🐑 🐄

Today we met a scientist who speaks to people about health. He reminded us about keeping ourselves healthy. Hygiene is very important. We also protect our classmates and the community when we are careful.

On a very chilly day we were kept warm with plenty of running! We had to listen very carefully to coach's instructions .

Today 3rd & 4th classes were learning about the different ways energy is produced. More renewable resources are used now - solar panels, wind energy and hydro-electricity. We will be trying to remember to always turn lights off when we leave our classroom.

On Thursday we wrote and drew pictures about our favourite numbers. On Friday we completed a puzzle!

The origami jerseys were less challenging Look at the variety of designs 😍

Michel is a lecturer in Galway.  There are three groups of venomous snakes. Vipers have very long fangs that can move! Elopids have shorter fangs that don't move but they are very sharp with very strong poison.  The colubrids have fangs farther back in their mouth so they have to chew their prey. Luckily we don't have venomous snakes in Ireland! 🐍 🐍

This morning we worked in pairs on two puzzles. The pairs worked very well to solve them. Daithi had a shape challenge for us too!

Today 3rd and Sixth had fun in the GP room. We played a loop game. Next we played Silent Sequence again. Finally we played Magic Circle- it took two goes to work it out!

Tá an téama seo críochnaithe againn. Féach ar an obair néata atá déanta ag gach éinne. Tá an taispeántas go hálainn ag bun an tseomra.

Today we played Silent Sequence in the GP room. It was difficult to make the row silently! We also played Pairs- trying to take the last pair from the square. We also had a puzzle- change 4 3 2 1 to 1 2 3 4 by moving one counter 😀

Today we folded paper to make a fox. We were thinking about learning new things. Some people found it easy to follow the instructions but lots of us found it difficult! https://vimeo.com/230617775?fl=pl&fe=sh

Congratulations to the Cloonacool team who won the Junior A final on Saturday night. A huge number of our past pupils came back to visit us with the cup 🏆 A great weekend for our local club 👌

We continued working on safety today. We read a set of rules for a pool. Then we completed short safety poems and illustrated them underneath in our sketch pads.

The completed Halloween pictures are now on display in the GP room. They look very colourful 🎃 👻 🧙‍♀️

We have started our Halloween art. We painted the background today using autumn colours. When they are dry we will paint silhouettes on...
