Welcome back!!
Hope you all enjoyed your Summer Holidays. On our first day back at school we learned ‘You got a friend in me’ from Toy Story. Then in Art we made our own Forky and Knifey.
With the Rugby World Cup in full swing we learned all about Japanese culture and traditions. We even learned how to write some Japanese symbols. The girls are very excited to watch their first Rugby match!
Happy Halloween! The girls have been very busy learning about Halloween traditions in other countries, in particular Dia de las Muertos in Mexico. We also went through the health and safety hazards around Halloween Time. Look at our colourful pumpkins which are brightening up our corridor!
Our St Brigid's Day Crosses
Ms Farrouj taught us all how to make our very own St Brigid's Day Cross.

Our Minibeast Hunt
We decided to make the most of the sunshine today and go on a minibeast hunt. We searched everywhere and recorded where each insect was found. The girls knew all of the names of the insects and were able to share interesting facts about each one.

Drumming Workshops
First & second class are really enjoying the drumming workshop. They are having lots of fun using different percussion instruments and learning the difference between beat and rhythm.
The Girls made beautiful flowers for Grandparents day. They had a fantastic day.
Beautiful Sunflowers
The girls worked very hard on their Van Gogh-inspired sunflowers. We drew the flowers step by step and used bright oil pastels to colour them in. We then used black oil pastel around the edges to make them stand out.

Road Safety
We have been learning about road safety and maps. The girls have explored familiar road signs as well as simple maps. We looked at what the symbols on maps mean and created some of our own.

First and Second class are enjoying learning about the weather. They have recorded the weather each day as they update the class weather station and have also explored some interesting non-fiction books about the weather. The girls have also observed and learned about the different types of clouds as well as the water cycle. They have certainly been very busy!!!
The girls have been exploring print making in art. We have learned how to do marbling using shaving foam and food colouring. The results were just amazing!!
Camogie Training
First and second class are working hard on their camogie skills. They are learning how to hand-pass, dribble and pass the ball. Keep it up girls!!
