Autumn and Halloween Fun in the Middle Room!

We have had a really busy start to the new school year and have been learning lots in 1st, 2nd and 3rd class! Have a look at what we have been up to!

In English, we wrote all out ourselves and the things we enjoy doing…

We wrote about our Summer holidays and all the fun things we did!

We painted pictures of our happy memories from the Summer holidays…

In Gaeilge, we learned and wrote about “Mé Féin” or Myself…

We drew our self-portraits in Art…

We designed very cool family crests depicting things that are important in our lives…

We designed Hot-Air Balloons with us inside them!

In Science and Geography, we looked at various buildings around the world, the materials they were made from and then designed our own “Dream Houses”!

In Music we listened and responded to “Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saens…

We were delighted to welcome local Historian Michael Moylan to the school in October to teach the children about “The Vikings” and other parts of History. The children had so much fun dressing up in various costumes, trying on armour and holding weapons from years ago!

We then learned about the season of Autumn, the changes that occur and did lots of art and writing about it…

We went on a Nature walk to the Discovery Park…

We learned about the traditions of Halloween and created some spooky art!

We tasted some delicious báirín breac and one lucky pupil found the “fáinne”!!

We read a poem called “The Pumpkin” by Oliver Brennan and identified nouns, verbs and adjectives in the poem…

The children in 2nd class learned about symmetry in Maths and completed great work and pictures in this subject area…

On the last day of school, we dressed up as some spooky creatures! We hope you all enjoy the mid-term break!

Well done on all your hard work boys and girls!
