Halloween Walk

THANK YOU to everyone that sponsored us for our Halloween Walk. There was great excitement in the days leading up to it and we loved seeing all our friends dressed up in costumes. We had lots of fun on the walk and it was great to see people out to wave at and support us.






Maths Trail

We took advantage of the lovely Autumn weather in October and went outside to do a maths trail. Firstly, we had to put ourselves into groups of three and decide who the leader was in each group - we are getting very good at doing this without arguing! We had to bring a book to lean on and a pencil for writing our answers on the answer sheet. Before we left the class room teacher explained all of the questions to us. We had to look for and find lots of different things such as a sign with a red and a black rectangle, a red berry, a silver car and write down its registration number. We found lots of shapes near the recycling bank. We had great fun and enjoyed working in teams.






A trip to the library

We were very lucky and our class was chosen from a draw to go to Ballybane library to watch a puppet show last week. We had to wear our rain jackets and some of us even wore our wellies in case it was raining when we were walking to the library. We enjoyed the walk and saw a lot of interesting things including the G.M.I.T. where some of our Mammies and Daddies go to college.
The puppet show was super, we really enjoyed it and all the games we got to play - we were so good that the puppet man told us we are the best class in Galway!!!! Luckily it did not rain on our way home and we were able to have a race in the field next to our school.
