An author comes to visit

Today we got a lovely surprise when the author Mary Arrigan came to visit our school. We went down to the halla and she told us a story from her book 'An Bhó Fhionn'. She translated the story into English for us. We really enjoyed the story and afterwards we got to talk to her and ask her some questions. She also explained a little bit about the process of writing a book and she showed us some of her drawings and sketches which she did for her book 'An Bhó Fhionn'. We really enjoyed meeting Mary today.



Making Pancakes - Tuesday, 8th March

We made delicious pancakes in class today for Pancake Tuesday. Teacher had a handy pancake mixture which we just had to add milk to and shake. Next teacher poured a little of the mixture on the pan.We had to be really careful when we were near the hot pan. When one side of the pancake was cooked we turned it over to cook the other side. Then we put some fresh lemon juice and Nutella on them and ate them while they were still hot. They were very tasty indeed!!

We also learned a little rhyme about making pancakes:

Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,

Pop it in the pan.

Fry a pancake,

Flip a pancake,
    Catch it if you can!!

Spring Nature Walk - Friday, 4th April, 2011

We went for a nature walk on Friday to observe all the signs of Spring. We saw two birds' nests just beside our school and the birds were busy flying back and forth to their nests. We spotted one bird with a twig in its beak flying back to its nest. We noticed how birds like to build their nests up high for better protection from both humans and animals. We also saw that most of the trees had buds on them by now whereas a few weeks ago there were no buds to be seen around our school!! We saw some lovely daffodils and some snowdrops also. Then we all closed our eyes for a minute and just listened to all the sounds we could hear. It was lovely to hear the birds singing.  

Our computer pictures

We created these pictures on the computer using 'Splosh'. We simply love using Splosh and we are all really good at using the programme now. Have a look at our beautiful pictures. 

A visit from Judy the dog

We got a lovely surprise today when Judy the dog came to spend some time in our class. She's a pomerian. We all got a chance to hold her and we took good care of her. We hope that she will come back to visit us again.
