In November We Remember
5th and 6th Class attended mass today to pray for those who are no longer with us. Thank you to Fr Vincent for making us feel so welcome. We have created our own Tree of Remembrance in our classroom to remember our loved ones every day during this month. We created some Robin art for November too. We hope that you like them.

Meet the Scientist
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! 🐍 🐍
