Happy Halloween!!!

Friday was a very exciting day in Ms O'Brien 's class! We celebrated Halloween by holding a Trick or Treat party for Temple Street. Well done to everyone on the huge efforts put into the costumes - everybody looked fantastic!  A special mention must go to Tristan and Séan who won Best Dressed for their Boxtrolls costumes! We had a special treat in the afternoon when we made chocolate apples!  Have a great mid-term everyone!

The lifecycle of a Pumpkin

Have a look at what Ms. Keane's class have been learning this week about Pumpkins.
We even learned a song about how they grow. The link is below



Halloween Preparation

1st and 2nd class had a talk from Garda Suzanne and Jennifer on Monday about keeping safe around Halloween. Some things we learned were;
1. Keep a safe distance from the Bonfire and don't touch sparklers or fireworks.
2. Go Trick or Treating with an adult
3. Always look left and right when crossing the road, especially when wearing a mask.

Abstract Artists!

In art class we learned about Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian artist. He wanted people to enjoy colour and shapes in his art. He believed that art didn't need to look like things in real life and he was the first famous abstract artist. We used watercolours and circles to create this colourful painting. Isn't it beautiful?!
