Our Christmas Concert
We are working hard on our Christmas concert. The name of the concert is called Witness. Everyone knows the songs. The older class are saying lines. Caolan and Leanne are Mary and Joseph. All the older children have to wear costumes. We cannot wait for it!

Na trí Mhúicín Bheaga
For the past few days we were doing a drama called ‘Na tri Mhuicin bheaga.
We are tring our best for this drama.
Liam is the 1st muc, Roisin is the 2st muc and Siobhán is the 3rd muc. We had to learn our lines in gaeilge. We wear masks when we say our lines. Eve is the man with the straw, Aoibhe is the man with the wood and Laoise is the man with the bricks. Everyone else are the mac tíre gránna. Múinteoir is going to video us because we are so good. We love doing drama in class.

Science week in the senior room
The senior room asked all of us look at their science experiments for science week.
We went up to the senior room and watched them do their fabulous experiments.
We saw all the liquids like soap and water and baking soda and they tested them to see if they were acid or bases
They also took our fingerprints and footprints and we saw them with the magnifying glass. We could see if we had whorls hoops or arches.
They also did an experiment where the jar sucked the egg inside. It was cool. They even did the alien in the kitchen experiment.
Then they did a experiment which they had a car race. They had a balloon and a toy car. They put the balloon into the car and they pinched the top of the balloon . Then they let it go. The cars moved a bit. At the very end they caused the volcano to erupt. It was brilliant. We hope they do some more experiments for us next year.

We did lots of experiments like rocket baloons, coke and mentos explosion and the baLloon that inflated itself.We went to the shelter and we dropped the mentos into the coke. The diet coke nearly touched the roof. We did floating and sinking and we found out if they floated or sank. We did alkaseltzer pop . One lid nearly hit Siobhan. We did balloon rocket races. The yellow team and the red team got one point each.

An Foireann Glas
Our new Green team was established in September 2012 and has been working hard ever since. They have been monitoring the water usage in our school by reading the water meter every Wednesday. So far we are doing really well! They are also ensuring that there are no leaking taps around the school and are encouraging us all to be more aware of our own usage of water. Keep up the good work guys!

Our Active Flag
We are trying this year for another active flag. We are doing lots of exercise like football. We do exercises with Pat like boxing. At break we play rounders and volleyball .We have a committee with lots of children. Lorcan, Erin, Lisa, Eoin, Orla, Róisín and Seán Antaine are on the committee. The big children had to do a presentation in front of all the school. They talked about all the ideas they had and about why we need to be active. They were really good.

Maths Week
We also made a metre squared display. Each child had to cut out two 10cm square pieces. Some children had to cut out more than two. The older children stuck all of these 10cm pieces together to make one big Metre squared display.
In the junior room, we did lots of Maths activities. We made some patterns using ourselves and we had fun using our dice cards and our counters. We also collected pictures of Maths things that are all around us. The senior room helped us too. Some of the children played Maths Boardgames, some children got to do Maths on the IPAD and some did their Manga high challenges on the laptops. It was great fun!
Eve’s Enormous Onion
This is Eve’s onion. She planted the bulb with her Daddy a while ago and now look at the size of it! We all got a big surprise when she brought it in to show us. The children in the senior room weighed the onion. It is over 500g. That’s one big onion! When we saw the onion, it reminded us of the story called The Enormous Turnip. Anyone for onion soup???
