2nd and 3rd class school tour!
On June 8th Second and Third class went on their school tour to the Pine Forest in Kilternan. Even though the weather wasn’t great, the children had a great day!
They went for a walk down a very steep hill and came to a small river where they picked rushes and small twigs from some of the many trees. The children later used the rushes and twigs to make lovely hedgehogs. They also drew some beautiful pictures of animals that can be seen in the Irish countryside and made some funky colourful dinosaurs.
Take a look at the children at work and their finished products!
2nd class girls get to work drawing some animals.
Here is some of the 3rd class girls finsihing their drawings.

Tin Whistle!!
Children in Room 10 practicing the tin whistle
The children in room 10 have been learning the tin whistle since September! We can now play lots of tunes and we even took part in the school’s marching band last week! At the moment we are learning “Dublin’s Fair City”. Our tin whistle teacher is Ms. Fitzpatrick and we are very grateful to her for teaching us this year.
Here is a list of some of the tunes we can play:

Summer-time!!
The children in room 10 cannot wait for the Summer holidays. We love playing outside in the fabulous weather. We wrote Summer acrostic poems this month to celebrate summer time!!
The following is a poem written by Martina in which she expresses her love of Summer-time:
Summer, Summer, I love you. It is really true.
Under the water and the light blue sea, it is nice and wavey,
My sunblock on me, Yippee.
Mary-Bridget, my best friend and me,
Enjoying Summer, Yippee!!
Rain has gone, Summer has come…I am so happy and so is everyone!
