Drum Lessons

First class are lucky enough to be taking drum lessons for the next 6 weeks. Alan Preims from Coole Music is the teacher. He'll cover rhythm and movement using drums as the teaching tool. The children will benefit greatly in the areas of co-ordination, teamwork and how to follow non-verbal commands.

New teachers in 1st class!

Ms. Sugrue and Ms. Rushe have been teaching us for the past week. They are first year trainee teachers. We had lots of fun making musical instuments, playing games and learning new songs!

Happy Easter

Yum, yum we love Easter Eggs! We used pencil toppings, crepe paper and tin foil to make a colourful collage!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Yesterday, we went outside to watch the Scoil Chaitriona Senior School band. It was a very cold day, but it was so exciting to see so many children playing instruments and marching. We all hope to be part of the school band some day. We made St Patricks Day badges and showed them off, as the band passed by.

Spring

Look at the wonderful Spring Lambs we made. We weaved white wool around a paper plate to make the body.

Fire, Fire, Fire!

The Fire Brigade came to visit us. We were all so excited when the firemen let us spray the hose and try on their hard hats. They even let us inside the fire engine and they turned on the siren! We asked them lots of questions about their work. They wear special fire proof clothes that prevent them from getting burnt.

Patterns

We had lots of fun making patterns from beads, pegs, cubes, counters and straws.
