Visit from our local community Garda, Colm.
First Class were really excited to have a visitor from Rathcoole Garda Station today. Garda Colm came to talk to the children about his job, he showed them the various parts of his uniform and explained a little about his job. The children enjoyed asking him questions and he allowed them to look at his walkie-talkie, his Garda badge and his hat! He hopes to visit us again in the new year! We are looking forward to it.
Green-School Rep Elections.
Happy Hedgehogs!
First Class made hedgehogs from clay. They were focusing on shape and texture, using clay tools to mark the clay to make the spikes on their hedgehogs. When the clay was dry, they painted their hedgehogs! Look how great they turned out!
Autumn Leaf Hunt and Art
First Class went on an Autumn leaf hunt around our school, and used the leaves we collected to make trees in art class.
Student Council Election.
First Class had their first student council election this term. The children learned about the duties of the student council. They also learned about running for election and they participated in the voting process. Well done to Artas who is our new student council rep!
Homes in Our Locality.
First Class took a walk through the housing estates near our school to see if we could spot some different kinds of houses. We saw terraced houses, detached houses, semi-detached houses and apartments.
