Trip to the beach!

Today we visited Ballyloughane Beach with Dr. Noirin Burke from the aquarium.We went exploring in rock pools with nets - we found crabs,mussels,shrimps,periwinkles and cockles.Noirin told us about the islands we could see - Mutton Island with the lighthouse,Hare Island and Rabbit Island.We learned that the black sand underneath the surface is not dirty - it is black because it doesn't get much oxygen.

It was a great day!

Shoe Mix Up!

Our shoes got mixed up in the classroom recently and each child had to find a matching pair.It was fun!

Autumn Nature Walk

We went for a walk to see the Autumn leaves.We saw sycamore,oak and ash leaves and found helicopters under the sycamore tree.The autumn colours were beautiful.We saw a golden spider on one tree!

Circus pictures

The children painted pictures of the circus - they did wonderfully imaginative pictures of elephants,acrobats,trapeze swingers and scary lions.
In drama ,we pretended to be the circus people -getting the town ready for the circus and performing as liontamers and lions,tightrope walkers,silly clowns and graceful acrobats!

Things we used when we were small

The children brought in some items they used when they were very small.We tested to see if any of the clothes they used wear would still fit them...but they didn't!
