Tin Whistle

Last week our class started tin whistle lessons. Our tin whistle teacher’s name is Padraig. We are learning to play The Kerry polka and Oro se do bheatha abhaile. Padraig gives us sheets with the notes of the songs we have to play. I think we sound really good when we all play together in time. But we need to practise. It’s exciting to learn to play music and maybe we might get to play in a school concert. Don’t forget to comment on our class blog!

Making smoothies with Ms Masterson

This morning the girls made yummy, healthy smoothies with Ms Masterson in the staff room. They used their own recipes that they wrote in class  yesterday. The smoothies were delicious, healthy food doesn't have to be boring!

Swimming

Every Thursday me and my class go swimming. We have so much fun. They teach us how to swim and then we have time to play in the pool. After that we change and walk back to the school. On the last week of swimming we will be allowed to go on the slides.

Our trip to the library

On the 10.09.15, our class went to the library. We read books and Ms. Fitzpatrick our teacher took some pictures. She also had a library card for the whole class so everyone could borrow a book. My book is called Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl. It is about eight people, their names are grandma Josephine and Georgina, grandpa Joe and grandpa George, Mr and Mrs bucket, Charlie Bucket and Mr Willy Wonka in a glass elevator in outer space. They couldn’t breathe so Mr Willy Wonka pressed a button in the elevator for oxygen and then they could breathe. I really enjoy reading the book. When we got out of the library, our teacher took a class picture and then we walked back to St Clare’s. We all had a good time.

Time Capsule

This week we made a time capsule. We traced around our foot to make our footprint and we painted our hands, stuck them to paper to make our hand print. We put a picture of our class into the time capsule along with our hand print and foot print. We also put our hopes for fifth class in the time capsule. We can’t open our time capsule until June.
