Science in a Box is back!

 The boys and girls were delighted to start back the Science in a Box program. Todays lesson focused on the respiratory system. For their experiment the children used straws and balloons to make a model of working lungs. 

Secret Santa!

 The boys and girls exchanged presents for their Secret Santa. There were big smiles all round! ('',) 

Our festive front door!

 We decided to make some artwork to decorate our classroom door make it more Christmassy! Isn't it so cute?! It definitely cheers everybody up when we see it first thing in the morning!

Our Christmas Artwork

 The children all worked together to colour a gigantic Christmas poster to hang in our corridor! Each child coloured individual parts of the picture then we stuck them together. It was a great collaborative effort and really brightens up the corridor.

The boys and girls were also asked to design a snow globe with 'What Christmas means to me'. The children drew a range of lovely things including their homes, Christmas trees with fairy lights and of course a present or two!

Smile!

 The boys and girls memorized the poem 'Smile' by Spike Milligan. They typed and decorated their poems to display in the corridor and put a smile on people's faces. Hopefully they put a smile on yours too! (",) 

Our trip Killiney Beach

On a sunny Friday morning the boys and girls walked to Killiney Beach. They created brilliant 'mandala' art on the sand using stones and shells. The children also practiced skimming stones which was lots of fun! It was great to be out in the fresh air exploring our local area!
