Butterflies

We spent a long time learning about  the lifecycle of a butterfly. We were really lucky to have them our class. When the butterflies were ready we released them into the world.

Ashtown Castle

We had a fantastic day at Ashtown Castle. We enjoyed a tour of the castle, played in the playground, had a picnic and finished with a very tense soccer match. A great day had by all.

Stations in the sunshine!

The boys had lots of fun playing outside. They used lots of the skills they have learned in PE this year and really enjoyed themselves. This is such a lovely time of year in school!

Ashtown Castle

We had an amazing day in Ashtown Castle. We learned about the history of the castle, saw a model of the entire Phoenix Park in the visitor centre, and learned about the different flowers and animals in the park. We ended the day with a picnic and some time in the playground.

The Final Laps!

The oldest boy in our class was asked to run the second last lap of our marathon today and pass the baton to one of our Junior Infant boys for the final lap.

We could not be prouder of the boys in Room 1, they gave so much encouragement and support to each other and to our final runner!

 

Our boys worked together to run a marathon, we are very proud of each and every one of them. Well done boys!

Fitter Younger

We were delighted to be the class who ran the final set of laps of our Fitter Younger Marathon today. The boys made an amazing effort and it was clear to see that all of their hard work running their daily mile each day is paying off. They are all fantastic athletes!

Jellyfish Art

This week we have been learning about ocean animals and talking about the sea. We made beautiful jellyfish pictures using paint, chalk pastels and oil pastels. Then, we added some interesting facts about jellyfish to complete our work.
