Our Trip to Airfield Estate:
We visited Airfield Estate as part of Science Week. We had a lot of fun and learnt so much about how to run a farm. A couple of things we learnt about on the farm was: How Nature Cleans Our Water, The Eggshellent Adventure - how eggs are made up, Agroforestry, Soil Types Under the Microscope, Compost, Solar Panels and Organic Gardening. We got a big surprise when we visited the farm yard where the cows are milked. There were four baby calves which we were able to pet which was so much fun.
Halloween Dress Up Fun!
Today was our Halloween Dress Up Fun day. We all dressed up as different characters, we had a really fun day. We baked some Spooky Halloween Cupcakes, had a Halloween Disco and our class party.
Maths Week
This week was Maths week in the school. We played a variety of different Maths games. In the hall there were jumbo sized games of Connect Four, Jenga, Snakes and Ladders, X's and O's and Dominoes.
Our Autumn Leaves & Trees
Our Christmas Art:
We are very proud of Christmas Artwork, we created Kandinsky styled Christmas Trees using crayons, markers and watercolour paint. We drew and painted Snowy Scenes and stuck cotton wool on to create snow on the ground and the roofs of the houses. One of our favourites were our Grinch's Hands.
Our 3D Globe Puzzle:
Over the past couple of months, we have worked incredibly hard on completing Our Globe jig saw puzzle. Finally, today was the day that we completed it. The boys have worked on it in the afternoons separating the pieces by numbers and slowly connecting them to create the dome shape. We are so happy and proud of the work the boys did. Happy FRIYAY!!

Rathfarnham Castle
Today we went on our Sponsored Walk. We walked to Rathfarnham Castle and all around the park. The weather was lovely and dry, all the Autumn leaves were crispy to walk on and so colourful.
