We talked about how important proper hand washing AND drying is today. Don't wipe on your jumper or trousers or other people! Use a clean towel! We love this dance to help us to remember! #handwashing#sphe

REMEMBER - this stormy, cold and in some places snowy weather is when your garden birds need you most! The days are still short so they have limited time to feed to stay warm and alive. Make sure to top up your birdfeeders, and provide some fresh water too! #IrishGardenBirdSurvey
Some of our classmates have been teaching us how to play uno! We love it! There are so many rules to remember sometimes it's tricky! It keeps our brains sharp and we really have to take turns and listen! #maths#turntaking#socials kills
We had a professional drummer do a drumming circle with us in January. It was amazing! We learned the jumper difference between rhythm and beat, a rhythm is a pattern, just like in Maths! #drumming#music
After planning and constructing, we presented our homes to the class. We had to explain how it worked, what was most difficult to do and answer other questions from the audience. #orallanguage#art#construction
We designed homes for Antarctic Emperor penguins. First we planned out our vision, next week worked together to follow our plans and build. It was tricky trying to get it all to stay together. #construction#art#planning#designing#teamwork
In #SPHE last week we explored what to do if someone is "on" in a game and doesn't want to be. We used drama to show how to resolve conflict & include everyone. #funfriends#problemsolving#playgroundgames
Last week we went on a Spring scavenger hunt, we had to look for signs of Spring in the natural & animal world. We heard a Robin sing, saw mushrooms, feathers, spider webs and some cherry blossom buds. We can't wait for #Spring to really start! #see#naturewalk
Tá stocaí, lámhainní agus bhur bhróga ar an radaitheora inniú! Bhí sé ag cur sneachta nuair a bhímíd ag dul ar scoil. Bhímíd fluich agus fuar! #sneachta#snow
For Art this week we are designing & planning in pairs; we are trying to guess what Gary is building with his materials. We noticed they are 2d & 3d shapes!
We guessed a clubhouse, shed, class-gym room, bench, castle, house or a stage! #art#design#architecturaldesign
During P.E we did a blindfold walk. WE had to listen to instructions. We said turn, walk, right, left, back, sideways and count the steps too. We had to trust our friends. It was fun and scary! #sphe#PhysEd @PDSTpe
Before our Christmas concert we had a relaxing morning to help us stay calm. We drew a puppy in a present- we had to listen and watch each step, it was fun but tricky! We really enjoyed our concert, our parents are very proud of us!
Yesterday the Garda Band sang Christmas songs with the whole school!Santa arrived with 2 elves! He did the switch& other dances from fortnite! He made the teachers do head shoulders knees & toes too! We even got sweets afterwards. It was such a fun day! #santa@GardaTraffic
We are trying to run laps outside every day to increase our fitness. It is for the @ActiveFlag . We start at 2 minutes and count how my laps we can run. We will run for longer soon. We all have our own personal best to beat!! #activeflag
