School Tour 2017

We had a fantastic day at Bunratty Castle & Folk Park on our school tour last week. We visited the castle and learned about its history, took part in archery, explored the fairy village, enjoyed the playground and had a lovely picnic on the park grounds. A great time was had by all!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun! Part 1

It's been such a busy school year that we've neglected our blog for the past few months. However, we have lots of photos of all the different things our class has been involved in since earlier on in the school year. In this post we look back on the period from Halloween to Christmas. This includes: Halloween costumes; the boys' hurling team; skipping lessons; our MindUp brain breaks; and the Christmas Jumper Day.

A Visit to the School Garden

We have been learning about plant life in our science lessons this week. We were lucky enough to get Merlin Woods' resident gardening expert Múinteoir Karmel to teach us all about what plants need to grow. She also gave our class a tour of the school garden. Thanks Múinteoir Karmel!

Fractions Art for Maths Week

Last week was Maths Week in the Merlin Woods so we created fractions art in our class. Using halves, quarters and eighths of circles, the children used their imagination to create their very own fractions animal.
