Pancake Tuesday
The children enjoyed picking various toppings for their pancakes!
Making pizza
We made our own pizza using wraps, tomato puree and grated mozzarella. They were yummy! We couldn't wait for them to cool down so we could eat them!
We squeezed out the tomato puree onto the wrap before spreading it out using a spoon.
Loom Bands
We had a visit from some of 6th class. They made loom bands with us using two colour patterns.

The boys all had a great rest over the Christmas and came back ready to learn. We had great fun in the month of January. We especially enjoyed celebrating Grandparents Day.

June
We went on our school tour with Junior and Senior Infants to the Burren Nature Sanctuary. We had a great day, we fed the animals, went on a fairy walk and got to play inside and outside.!
We spent the month of May exploring different styles of printing in art. We printed with sponges, stencils and even vegetables!
As part of our Food theme, we made butter. We used fresh cream and shook it until it turned into butter. It was delicious on crackers!
In April, our theme was Play. We tried out lots of toys and had lots of fun doing it!
We made our own playdoh, experimented with clay and played with some of our toys from home.
We are very fortunate to have the new walkway so close to our school. We have been making use of the sunny days and getting out for some lovely walks.
In March, we were learning about houses and homes and 2D shapes.
We used 2D shapes to help us to create pictures of homes.
This might have been our favourite day of the year so far, Pancake Tuesday! We loved choosing our toppings, nutella was the big winner on the day!
For Valentine's Day, we made cards using a printing techniques with pom poms and clothes pegs. This helped us to work on our fine motor skills and to make a card for the special people in our lives!
