We had such good fun getting ready to celebrate Halloween 2012. We made pumpkin masks, handprint spiders and chocolate apples. On Friday 26th October 2012 the Junior dressed up in their Halloween costumes and had a party! Lots of moms made lovely treats-they were delicious! We loved sharing them with everyone! Take a look at the video below to hear a poem we learnt in Club na nGaeilge. Is maith linn gaeilge!

We had a very exciting day travelling to Cork Pops. We saw the River Lee, Patrick’s Street and the Elysian building. We thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings of City hall and listening to all the wonderful music!  

We investigated the effect of heat on chocolate-it melts! With the melted chocolate we made chocolate apples. We decorated our apples with butterfly sprinkles and magic fairy dust. They were delicious!

We learned all about trees on National Tree day. We took leaf rubbings from some of all the lovely leaves we have collected for our Nature table.

The Junior Room are starting to learn all about sounds. This week we were learning about ‘ccc castanets’. Tíarna brought in her flamence dress and castanets that she got on her holidays in Spain. Kaylee also brought in her castanets. Check out this video of us doing our song!

On Monday 22nd October 2012 we said goodbye to Sheila who has been teaching us Athletics since September. Sheila presented every child with a gold medal for participation.
