March

Our theme for March was Ireland. We looked at Ireland a few months ago under the "Countries" theme so it was interesting to see what we remembered! March was cut short for us but here's a few photos for you all to look at.

We looked at different instruments and made a lot of noise!

Our friendly caretaker came into our classroom and sang some lovely songs for us.

Ms Walsh had some very cute visitors in her classroom so we went for a little look!

February

Our themes for February were Friendship and Health. Take a look at some of the activities we engaged in and enjoyed!

We started off with Friendship. We spoke about good friends and bad friends. We also did some Valentine's activities.

We made heart shaped toast and put some jam on it for Valentine's Day.

For our Health theme we looked at healthy and unhealthy food, looking after ourselves and going to the dentist and doctor.

We went to Colligan with Ms Whelan's class for a lovely walk.

January

Our themes for January were Winter and Countries. We went to see the Friary show called "Back to the 80's" and we also started horse riding which was a huge hit with us all! We had a busy January!

For our Countries theme we looked at Ireland and Australia. Our favourite was Australia!

In our food sessions we looked at meat, poultry and fish! We liked some of these but not all!

Here we are horse riding.

Please see the Gallery for photos from December.
