Our First School Tour – Room 1
Active Walkway launch
Well done to all classes who got out and followed our active route around the school looking for clues at each post. Great teamwork by everybody and it was great to bring our learning and fun outdoors and get in extra steps as well. We look forward to using this again.
World Book Day in Room 1
We celebrated World Book Day in style in our class! The boys and girls dressed up as characters from their favourite books. We went on a book hunt around the school looking for quotes from popular books and we had to guess what books they are from. We entered a competition to design a book cover for our favourite book. Mrs. Coughlan came to our class and read “The Gruffalo” to us. We thoroughly enjoyed World Book Day this year!
Congratulations to Lena who won the book cover competition with her beautiful picture of Cinderella.
Congratulations also to Insiya who was the winner of the junior section of the Green Schools travel poster competition.
The Puppet Theatre – Room 1
Our Aistear theme in March and April was the puppet theatre. We had great fun using the puppets to put on different shows for our group. At the construction station we built theatres and we used the construction straws to make imaginative characters and creations – some very long snakes were seen slithering in the classroom! At the art station we designed and stitched our very own puppets. We also worked on our shape booklets.
