International day 2014
It was time for International Day on Friday 23rd May.........and it was brilliant again this year. It was as if we got to go around the world in an hour. Lots of people dressed up in national costumes and the parents showed us lots of really cool things from their countries. We also got to taste lots of different, yummy dishes from all around the world. We had a fantastic day and already can't wait for next year!.

We showed our families some of our work. We read a book, showed our         writing, told our guests about a science experiment, did a maths activity         and lots more. We finished by showing them an Ipad app from the apps         we've been using at 'stations' time.

Happy Hearts

Our friends in 3rd class helped us to make " Mr and Ms Hearty". We had great fun chatting and working together. We made the legs and arms from folded paper fans.

Creating Patterns in Maths


Happy Chinese New Year! 
Gung Hay Fat Choy!


Reading with 3rd Class


Farmer Duck

Cillian's daddy Martin brought some young ducklings to visit us. He told us about the ducklings and allowed us all to have a turn to rub a duckling. We were careful to clean our hands well afterwards. Martin also brought in a fan tailed pigeon and a tumbler pigeon. The ducklings were lovely and fluffy!.

Materials in Science


Badminton with Balloons 

Derek and Annette came and taught us how to play badminton. We used special balloons instead of shuttlecocks at the beginning. It was great fun and good exercise too!.

Visiting the Doctor

We set up a hospital during Aistear time. Hana and Cillian filled in their patient details while in the waiting room and Dr. Nuala saw to the patients in a timely fashion. Emily was on hand for nursing duties.

European Day of Languages

Our families speak lots of different languages. Here are some of our parents sharing them with us.

Trip to Coole Park 
for a picnic with 5th/6th class


What's in the box?

We all put some of our favourite things from when we were babies right up 'til now into a box and we each had a chance to share our special boxes with everyone else. It was a great way to learn things about our new friends.
