The children in Room 4 were very excited about the special visitors that came to our classroom on Wednesday. We were very lucky to welcome several grandparents as part of our Grandparent’s Day celebrations. We had written some questions to ask the grandparents – we asked them what they ate for lunch in school, did they have computers, what was their teacher’s name and did they have lettuce when they were small. It was lovely to see the bridging of generations in the classroom. We sang an Irish song and said a poem for all of the grandparents at the end of their visit. We hope they enjoyed the morning as much as we did! A very big thank you to all of our visiting grandparents. Please click here to see some more...

We really enjoyed Grandparent’s Day yesterday. It was great hearing about what school, toys and TV used to be like. Our favorite thing about Grandparent’s Day was hearing about watching Neil Armstrong land on the moon. A special thank you to all the Grandparents who were able to come into our class. We hope the grandparents who couldn’t make it enjoyed the day...

We had a wonderful day today in Room 8. Our Grandparents’ came in to our classroom to spend some time with us. They read us stories, they showed us old artefacts from when they were growing up, and as Grandparents’ always do, they told us funny jokes. We performed a concert for our Grandparents. They particularly loved when we sang Yellow Submarine by the Beatles, they remembered it being played on the radio when they were growing up. HURRAY TO GRANDPARENTS! click here to view more...

We were very lucky to have some of our Mums and Dads helping us out last week. On Thursday Room 4 hosted Maths 4 Fun. The Mums and Dads showed us how to play lots of interesting maths games like Domino Car Park and Treasure Hunt. We would like to thank our volunteers as this event would not be possible without them. We are looking forward to this week! Please click here to see some more...

This week children have been working really hard using the academic language linked to the ‘Garden Centre’ during our oral language lessons. Children have had opportunities to act in role as the cashier and customer, to meet and greet each other and to buy a range of goods from the Garden Centre to include plants, soil,watering cans and flowers! Mrs Swan was really impressed with how well the children worked together and acted in role. She was also delighted with how much academic language Room 1 has acquired during our topic linked to the Garden Centre! For more photos from our oral language lesson please click...
