To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day we made some funny leprechaun faces. Hopefully they will lead us to their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

   

As today was World Book Day, we celebrated by dressing up as characters from our favourite books. We also had some extra DEAR time and a special online story time.

For the last few weeks we’ve had Stephen from Louth GAA coming in to teach us the skills of Gaelic football. We have lots of fun doing the drills and playing a game at the end.

This term we are reading a novel about a joey kangaroo so we have been learning lots about Australia. Today we found out about boomerangs. We learned what they are used for, and we looked at how they are decorated with Aboriginal art. Using this as our stimulus we created our own boomerangs. Unfortunately they don’t come back as well as the real ones!

We had great fun playing our new maths game in groups on Friday. It teaches us about tens and units and renaming. We had two  winners at the end which meant we had two royals in the class!
