June Activities

20/6/2022

We have really improved when we go horse-riding. Someone in our class can even ride by himself. We love to meet Elvis, May, Angel and all the horses at Liskennett.

Mtr Máire played some music on her fiddle and we loved it!

We had so much fun on our school tour to Kidstown. The volcano slide was our favourite.

Sports Day went down a treat! We loved the egg and spoon race and the pizza box challenge.

Arts and Craft: We made a castle out of an old box. We loved painting it and drawing pictures to decorate it.

When the sun is out we like to go outside to play with our water station.

Indie, an Irish Guide Dog came to visit our class. We loved to see her coming and she loved to get a belly rub!

Updates from mÚINTEOIR mARK'S cLASS

Exploring Sounds:

Our theme for November was all about exploring sounds. As part of our music and SESE, we decided to explore the different sounds we could make using food and our trays. We then made our own shakers and explored the different sounds they made!

We went on a tour of our school to see what sounds we could hear all around us too - people were talking, music was playing, phones were ringing!

Life Skills:

As part of our SPHE and Life Skills work, we have been learning about recipes and how to follow them. We planned out what we would need then walked to the shop to buy our ingredients. After we had all our ingredients, we made some tasty hot chocolate and even put some marshmallows on top. It was a yummy treat after a stormy week!

Halloween in Múinteoir Mark's and Múinteoir Ciara's Class

Halloween Art
We made some spooky skeletons using cotton wool buds and glue. This was great fun!

We also made Halloween potions. We mixed different colours together and we may have added a magical spell too!

Halloween Dress-Up
We dressed up as different characters for our Halloween Dress-up day. There was a Superhero, some Princesses, pirates and even a Greatest Showman Ring Leader. We hardly recognised Múinteoir Mark as a pirate and Múinteoir Ciara as a witch. We had so much fun! Thank you to Príomhóide and the Parent's Association for running this day.

Halloween Disco
We were so lucky to have a Halloween disco outside with all of our friends. We danced to music and it was so much fun.

Halloween Baking
We decorated some scary Halloween biscuits. We chose our colours and designed each biscuit. We got to eat them afterwards and they were delicious.

Birthday Celebrations
We celebrated a birthday this month. We loved playing with the birthday balloons and wearing our birthday hats.

We mixed loads of different colours to make new colours. We loved mixing red and yellow to make orange and yellow and blue to make green.

Múinteoir Mark and Múinteoir Ciara's class teamed up to go on our GAA inclusion walk. We walked around Ballina and spotted some of our favourite places to visit. Thanks to Ballina GAA club for organising this initiative.

A busy September and October!

2/11/2021

Getting Active:

September and October were all about getting active and settling back to school. We have been doing gymnastics with Rody, horseriding in Liskennett, and working on our motor skills like running, jumping and hopping during PE and sensory time.

All About Autumn:
We also started learning all about autumn during this first half-term. We went on an autumn hunt, learned all about the Big Oak Tree and created autumn leaves during Art and Craft time.

Personal and Life Skills:

We have been learning about how to look after ourselves and our bodies, and one thing we have been trying out to do this, is how to make sandwiches. We brainstormed what we needed to do, then followed the steps to make some tasty jam sandwiches! Have a look through our photos to see how we got on!
