We have been learning all about the food pyramid recently. We now know which foods are healthy and unhealthy for our bodies and how many servings of each food group we should be eating every day. To help us remember, we’ve put together our own food pyramid display in our classroom.  

Tá na páistí ag foghlaim an topaic ‘Am’ trí  cluichí éagsúla, mar shampla ‘Cén t-am é a Mhac Tíre?’, ‘It’s Time For Fun’ agus ‘Don’t be tardy for the party’. Imríonn siad na cluichí I ngrúpaí agus déanann mé fhéin agus Múinteoir Lorraine “team teaching” leo.

Last Friday, the children in the junior room made Halloween lanterns using old empty jam jars that they brought in from home, orange tissue paper, black card paper and lots of glue! Just pop a tea light candle into them and the orange glow from them is fab! The children really love them.
