We have been learning about Drippy the Raindrop. He started off relaxing in the sea but it got too hot and he evaporated up into the clouds. The cloud became too full and Drippy fell out of the cloud. He landed in a stream. He floated down the stream which became a river and the river led to the sea. The whole cycle starts all over again! Ask us about Drippy the Raindrop’s journey. Please click here to see our lovely water cycle pictures....

Room 2 became Super Scientists this week in school! On Monday they were paid a visit by Scientists David and John (and a VERY BIG spider and scorpion!) who did lots of great experiments with them, and showed them how sugary foods and drinks like coke can stain our teeth unless we brush them well. Room 2 are learning all about living things at the moment, and are getting really good at knowing how to tell if something is living or not living- does it breath, move, grow, eat and drink, have babies or respond to the weather? They are also learning how to care for living things, and planted Hyacinths this week which they hope will grow over the next few weeks if they give them plenty of water and sunlight. They also experimented with balloons, and learnt how to charge up their balloons with electricity so they could pick up all the lovely materials Vinny left for them as a surprise! Well done Room 2 on all the great learning you did over Science Week 🙂 For more photos of the Super Scientists in Room 2 please click...

We are looking at the theme of food (Bia) in Irish this month. We have been focusing on the three phrases “Is maith liom _______” (I like), “Ní maith liom ________” (I don’t like), and An maith leat _______? (Do you like ______?) Have a listen to the rhyme we learned “An maith leat cáis?” (Do you like cheese?) We also played shop through Irish and welcomed the medical center into our room.

Last week in Room 6 we were learning about card games with our KWL chart. We asked our parents to see what card games they were playing when they were young. Some of us also asked our grandparents. They liked to play Macao, Old Maid, Snap, Switch, Blackjack and Poker. We learned to play Go Fish and Old Maid. They were fun games. We ask Ms. Looney if we can play them everyday! If you would like to see photographs of us playing cards, click...
