Potato Planting

We have been watching the weather and hoping that we would get a chance to get our potatoes down. Finally, we managed to get out in the cold and get them down. Hopefully, we'll have some nice potatoes for May/June!!

 

 
While out in the Garden, we spied the new frog spawn in our school pond!


 
 


Down to Earth show







We watched this Down to Earth performance this week. It was based on helping the look after our Environment. It reminded the children to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Terrific Tessellations

We were working on 2-D shapes this week and tessellations. We created these tessellation pictures of our own!







We love you Mums!




We made these lovely pots for our Mums on Mother's Day.




Back in time

Emily D's dad brought in his gramophone to show us. It had been handed down through his family and he reckons its approx. 90 years old! The girls were very interested to see how music was played long before CD players and i-pods. Emily set it up and put it going for us and we loved listening to the teddy bear song!



Egyptian Projects completed

here we are after presenting our projects to the other 3rd class.

 
















We made these Egyptian face portraits during our projects using pastels. All beautiful

World Book Day

We were very lucky to meet the famous author Marita Conlon McKenna. We loved listening to her and all her stories. Eva had one of her books in school and got it signed. We all got a copy of her signature! We also created our favourite book covers to celebrate world book day!
