Static Electricity

We have conducted a few experiments on static electricity.

Here are some photographs of our results.

We can't wait to get some balloons and try these experiments out at home!

Tin Whistle

Today in tin whistle we got the notes for two seasonal songs,

Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and
Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

We better keep practicing to know these in time for Christmas!

A Visit to a Storyteller

This week, we were very lucky to get a visit from a fantastic storyteller.

She read an excerpt from a story called "My Naughty Little Sister".

It was a very funny story that was set in England a long time ago.

The storyteller made the story come alive for us and we really enjoyed ourselves.

We are really looking forward to her next visit in a few weeks time.

Many Thanks to Mrs Bradley for organising it.

Swimming lessons

We will be starting swimming lessons tomorrow morning as part of our PE curriculum. 
Each Thursday your child needs to bring €5, a swimsuit, a towel, a swimming hat and a separate bag to carry them all in. 
A silicon swimming hat will help to keep your child's hair dry when in the water.
Weather permitting, we will be walking to and from the swimming pool, so it is important that your child wears a coat and a hat to keep themselves warm.
If your child comes to school wearing their swimming costume under their uniform, please make sure they bring their underwear as well.
