Seniors and first are learning about time. The children played 'Cén t-am é a mhac tíre?' in the yard. They also raced each other around the school either running clockwise or anti-clockwise on teacher's call! The boys and girls also had fun making their very own clocks! Colin showed 3 o'clock or 'home-time' by moving the minute and hour hand on his home-made clock. Thanks to Ms. O Shea for helping us to make our clocks.

India week in 2nd and 3rd.

10/11/2017

 
This week the students of 2nd and 3rd learned all about the country India.  It was wonderful to see the interest the children had in different cultures.  We learned about the festival of Dilwali.  We had a special visitor from Mrs. Fawl's room Martin to tell us all about the history and culture of India.  I feel it is brilliant for my students to learn about different countries and hope this newly gained knowledge will inspire them to visit these countries in the future.
    Show Respect and Expect Respect.
