*WOW Day tomorrow 9th October*
Our Green School Committee had their first meeting last week to discuss and brainstorm all the ways they can encourage everyone to walk to school more often. They came up with a great incentive for WOW day! Children can wear their favourite shoes and “bling” them up if they walk to school on WOW day tomorrow 9th October 2024. We can’t wait to see all the amazing creations!
1st class has been having lots of fun reading a book called Grandad’s Island. They have completed some fantastic pieces of writing about the story and in Art used lots of different resources to make an animal they would see in Grandad’s island.
Senior Infants have been having lots of fun learning about “colour”. The class read a wonderful story called Mixed by Arree Chung which taught them about primary colours and what happens when colours are mixed.
Senior Infants used what they learned to experiment in a wonderful colourful art lesson.
Lovely work Senior Infants!
Our Universal Choir, made up of 2nd-4th Class, had the opportunity to practice outside in the gorgeous weather ahead of their performance last week.
