Happy Easter!!!

 

Wishing you all a very happy Easter and we hope you enjoy the break-lots of love from Room 1 :)

 

 

 

 

 

Easter Bunny

We arrived in school on Friday (the day of the Easter hols) to a very special surprise-a letter from the 'Easter bunny'. We were left instructions that we must follow. We followed the arrows that led us on an Easter egg hunt-we hopped all the way along with excitement. The gate to 'the secret garden' was open which gave us a big hint about where the chocolate must have been hiding. Earlier in the week, we had made bunny baskets which came in useful to carry our treats in :) We found a pot of gold in the garden with cool chocolate coins-we can't wait to gobble up all of the chocolate. The Easter bunny had been watching us and knew how well behaved and hard working we were so well done to all the boys and girls-treats well deserved!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 



Perfect Attendance-100 days of school!

Perfect Attendance!!!

 

We celebrated the 100th day of school and we rewarded all pupils with certificates who have been un attendance every day. Well done to all the boys and girls in Room 1 who received a certificate.

An Damhsa Mór

A Ceilí was organised in the school as part of 'Seachtaine na Gaeilge'. We were very busy dancing during the weeks leading up to the event. Rocaí Rua was very proud of us as we learned the steps 'as Gaeilge':

                              Isteach dó, trí, isteach dó trí. Amach dó, trí, amach dó, trí. A haon,                                                        dó, trí, ceathrar, cúig, sé, seacht. A haon, dó, trí, a haon, dó, trí. Ar ais                               dó, trí, ceathrar, cúig, sé, seacht. A haon, dó, trí, a haon, dó, trí.

Have a look at us dancing to our hearts content. 

                           

Seachtaine na Gaeilge

During Seachtaine na Gaeilge, we performed in a 'ceolchoirm' in the school hall. We sang a song called 'Tá Mé i mo Shuí ar an gCathaoir'' and we had special actions for each line. We also performed a rhyme called 'Dhá Éinín Deasa'. We love this rhyme and even recite it in the yard at play time :)The concert was lots of fun and we listened to all the other classes perform to songs and rhymes. We all sang together at the end to the Irish rugby anthem 'Glaoch na hEireann'.

Room 1 has got talent......

We designed headbands for St. Patrick's Day.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Mother's Day

We would like to wish all the mammies in 'Room 1' a very Happy Mother's Day. We visited 'Newlands Garden Centre' to make flower baskets for Mother's Day. First we were handed a basket each filled with soil. We were instructed to make two holes in the soil to fill with flowers. It is very important to look after our flowers by giving them plenty of water and sun. Mammies were very happy with their gift. We also made special cards for mammies and we are getting very good at writing our own name.

                               

 

 

A Little Taste of Winter......

A Little Taste of Winter.......

We have had a very cold January-it was a good time to discuss all those winter words in Room 1-cold, snow, raining, freezing, frost, bitter, winter woollies, snowflakes, snowmen, ice, short days, dark nights etc.

One cold day in January, we set out on a 'Winter Walk' around the school. We made sure to wrap up that day. We put on our coats, jackets, woolly hats, gloves and scarves to keep warm. We hope you enjoy the pictures-you will see that there are no leaves on the trees, plenty of sticks on the ground and some snowdrops under the beech tree.

We could see our own breaths it was that cold..........

We had so much fun crunching the ice with our feet...

Check out our very own snowmen.....made from clay and painted once dried. 

It is important to keep warm in Winter so we brainstormed on all the ways to wrap up in the cold weather....

Grandparents Day

We had some very special visitors arrive at our school this month-our grandparents. Some grannies and grandads came to visit our classroom-they played games with us and we were proud to show them what goes on behind the red door. We listed some of the things we have learned in school so far! Children had the opportunity to show grandparents some of the hard work that goes on each day.
