Room 2's Solar System

We are learning about space so today we pretended to be the planets and the sun and the earth's moon. Then we went around the sun, and the moon went around the earth. We had to stay the same distance from the sun the whole way around.

until Mrs Schroder says it is safe to go out to the field and line up to call the roll.

If you are outside stay outside. Move away from windows, trees into an open area.

The Wedding at Cana

On Tuesday we acted out the Wedding at Cana. The bride was Pia and the groom was Adam. Jesus and Mary were played by Cameron and Aoibheann. The servants were Jacob,Jasmine and Sparsh. Everyone else that wanted to be in it were wedding guests. We got into costumes and got the props ready and then Mrs Schroder took photos of us. We made a comic with the photos and added Speech bubbles to retell the story.

Ben Browne the author visits St Marys

The whole school went to the hall and Ben Browne came to talk to us. He told us about writing books and stories. We found out that he likes to read books and to write them. His wife is an illustrator and she draws the pictures for his books. He didn't like reading until he was 9 and he read a book called Tom Sawyer.
He read us some books and Pia held the book and turned the pages to show us the pictures.

Fish and Chips

Today we went to Porky's Fish and Chip shop and got some chips. We all sat at the tables and ate our chips but we didn't have fish. After we finished our chips we walked down to the park. At the park we played on the playground. On the way home we had a race to the grandstand and then we walked back to school.

Hockey on St Patrick's Day

Today we got to learn some hockey skills. We learnt how to hold the stick properly and how to dribble and trap the ball.

Tractor Trek for Cancer Kids

We walked down to the beach to see all of the tractors come past. A police car with his lights on was first and then a fire engine followed by all of the tractors.

The student of the week was Jacob and he got to sit on a tractor and they started it up. Jacob said it felt real good. After that we all sat in the tractor.

Summer Reading

We read all summer and filled in our summer reading form. Mary from the library came in today and gave us our prizes.

Sprinkler Fun

On the Friday of the first week of school we played in the sprinkler. It was fun.

Here is a picture of Aoibheann jumping the sprinkler. Sparsh and Rebecca and Pia are in it too.
