Drumming

For five weeks we learnt how to drum with Alan. We learnt lots of ways to play - the mouse, the elephant and the dog. We also played lots of different games, but Fast and Slow was definitely our favourite.

Sport's Picnic

On Thursday, we brought our sporty toys to school and went to the pitch behind the community centre. We had our lunch out in the sun and then shared our toys and had lots of fun. We didn't want to get sunburnt in the sun so we took care by making sure we had suncream and our sunhats on.

Walk to the Beach and Bug Hunt

On Wednesday we went for a walk to the beach with Ms McLoughlin's class and had a great morning. We went hunting for bugs and any other animals we could find on the beach. We found lots of Sand Hoppers, crabs and even some spiders.

Crazy Hair Day

On Friday we had lots of fun because we got to wear our wackiest hairstyles to school. We went to the Halla where we all got to parade around and show off our style. Everyone looked great (but a little strange!!)

Later we went outside in the sun and blew bubbles with Ms Dillon's class as a treat for our hard work all week.

Our Art Work this year

Here are our ladybirds and caterpillars we made in Art this year.

Michel Ocelot's KIRIKOU AND THE SORCERESS

As part of our Africa week celebrations we watched Michel Ocelot's enthralling fable 'Kirikou and the Sorceress'. It tells the story of the tiny Kirikou (just 10cm tall!) and the journey he undertakes in order to discover the secret of the evil sorceress and to find the truth. Kirikou narrates the whole story himself and despite his size (just like the mouse in the fable 'The Lion and The Mouse' we have been reading about this week) he is victorious. The animation is rich and the soundtrack is super. Our class gave the movie ten out of ten and it would be well worth renting out to see again at home (it's a treat both for adults and children alike!!)

Maths for Fun

On Wednesday 27th May, we had a Maths for Fun day. Some parents even came in to help us.

We played Snakes and Ladders, Hot Dog, Bingo and Colour by Number. We used lots of our maths skills and DID have lots of fun.

A big thanks to Caitríona, Zoe’s mum Siobhan, Meghan’s mum Hazel and Ahsan’s mum Nudrat.
