Pancake Tuesday

We were very excited for Pancake Tuesday to come! We learned about the tradition of Pancake Tuesday and how it is celebrated around the world, before eating some delicious pancakes ourselves. Some of our favorite toppings are chocolate and strawberries, lemon and sugar and syrup!

As Lent is here, we decided that we would try to give something up - like chocolate, sweets and biscuits. Others decided to take something up - like being kinder to others. We are looking forward to learning more about the Easter story and getting ready to celebrate Easter in a few weeks :)

We learned about how pancakes are made.

Valentine's Day Fun

We had a busy day today. First, we had a visit from the Sam Maguire cup!

Then, to celebrate Valentine's Day, we made beautiful Valentine's cards for our family. We had lots of fun making them!

Happy Valentine's Day from Room 3!

Aistear Play

Aistear play is a very important part of our learning. Here are some pictures from our play time earlier today.

Frankie is making a shopping list before he goes to the supermarket.

 Aoife and Sophie are our shop keepers. They set the shop up, decide what the special offers will be and then take our payment for our items. 

Ieva is checking that she has everything on her shopping list before she goes to the till!

She forgot to buy dog food - lucky she has her shopping list!

The yellow table are playing with cars, planes and trucks.

The red table decided to have a tea party. Each person has a plate, cup and spoon to eat. On the menu today was pizza and chicken - looks delicious :)

The blue table are making shapes and prints in the sand. They even found some letters hidden in the sand.

It's Christmas!

Some of our Christmas craft work!

We learned all about the Christmas story. 

Ms. Hughes has some fantastic attendance prizes for Mia, Erin and Abraham- they were in school every day!

Exciting Christmas presents, under the tree :)

Merry Christmas from all of us!

A Visit from Santa!

We had a busy day today in room 3. This morning, we went to see first and second class performing 'Ralph the Reindeer'. We recognised some of our brothers and sisters performing on stage!

We had a very special visitor to the class after little break....Santa! He was so kind and we sang 'Santa Claus is coming to town' for him. He spoke with our Elf on the Shelf and then gave each of us a chocolate, Santa lolly.

We are looking forward to our Christmas concert on Thursday and have been practicing very hard. We hope to see you there :)

Reading Week

It has been a busy week in Room 3! We enjoyed book week so much and had lots of fun with our read and relax in the hall, drop everything and read and our buddy reading with third class. Here are some of the highlights.

We were lucky enough to have milkshakes and muffins while we read in the hall.

Some of our parents came to read with us in the hall

We had some special visitors to the class - third class came to read with us as part of Buddy Reading

We love to read in room 3 and we're looking forward to reading lots and lots of more exciting books!
