Well done to Eoin, Eoghan, Conor, Ciarán, Aaron and Laura Mae who all ran in the Community Games race today.  It was a hard fought battle to get to the finish line but they all did it!  Well done!

A big congratulations to Aaron who made his First Holy Communion on Saturday!  He learned all of his prayers and songs for the big day and was so good at receiving his First Holy Communion.  Well done Aaron!  We had a party in The Crocuses classroom on Monday to celebrate the big occasion!

We are learning about the farm this month, so off we went on a trip to Stonebrook Farm.  It was great fun.  We saw lots of animals.  We met Priscella the pig and we saw her very cute 5 day old piglets!  We saw a turkey, a rooster, hens, ducks and very cross geese!  We then met lots of the farm animals - more pigs, a shetland pony, goats, alpacas, calves, lambs, donkeys and deer.  The antlers fell off one of the deer last week so we held them.  It was really cool.  We fed the calf and lambs milk with their bottles.  We held and rubbed lots of small animals too - guinea pigs, miniture hamsters, ducklings, rabbits and even a tortoise!  After seeing all of the animals, we went to the playground.  This was great fun.  We played in play house, did a puppet show, climbed on ropes, milked a cow and lots more!
It was a fantastic day but we are all very tired after it!

Well done to the boys who won a medal for their fantastic Community Games art!  

We had a very exciting and tiring day today!  We decided to go to McDonalds for a treat because we have all been working so hard lately!  So off we went bright and early this morning.
First, we walked to Centra and waited for the bus to come.  We were all so excited.

Then we paid the bus driver and got on the bus.  It was really good fun.

We went into Tesco to buy some things for our classroom.  Then we walked to McDonalds.  We couldn't wait!  We were jumping out of our skin with excitement!  We took turns ordering and paying for our food.  We all got happy meals, yummy!

Finally, we got our long awaited Happy Meal!  It was delicious!  We got cool Shaun the Sheep spoons with out Happy Meal.  Some of us got chicken nuggets, some got a burger and some got fish fingers.  

When we finished our food, we decided to go for a stroll down town because the sun was shining!  

So off we went to the playground!  It was great fun.  We loved the climbing frame and the i-Play!

We headed back to school after the playground...on foot!!  It was a long walk but it was lovely!  We all had so much fun today but we are all so so tired now!  We can't wait for our next day out.  I wonder where we will go next?!

Well done to Ciarán who got Star of the Week this week!  He is thrilled with this great achievement.  Well done Ciarán, keep up the good work!

We celebrated a lot of birthdays so far this year!  Last week, Karolina, Ciarán and Eoin celebrated their birthdays!  We had games, songs, cake, sweets and of course candles! It was great fun. Happy birthday everybody!

We had a great time at the cinema yesterday.  We saw Penguins of Madagascar.  It was great fun.  Check out our class page for photos!

We had great fun today decorating our class Christmas Tree.  We put lights, baubles and tinsel on the tree.  It looks amazing - so shiny and glittery!

We all had a great time at K-Bowl today.  Check out our class page for some photos!
