October

Great fun was had for Halloween STEAM day in the hall with Jennie and Colin. 

We started making simple dishes for cookery. Our plan is to learn to cook nice and simple food that we could make at home on our own. We made pasta and noodles. 

We loved carving our own pumpkins that we bought ourselves. 

We marked Mental Health awareness day by painted some stones with positive messages. 

A highlight of our term so far was a bus trip to Crough Woods for a cup of tea and a walk and a stop at Clonea beach on the way back. 

We used our leaves that we collected in the woods to do some Autumn art. 

Our topic for numeracy for Junior Cycle this month was money. We looked at receipts and bills. 

We made very cute/scary spiders in cookery. 

Using clay we modelled a sugar skull for our learning on Day of the Dead. 

September

What a start to a new school year. We eased ourselves back into school life after being off for so long. We used the nice weather to get out and about as much as we could.
We took our school bus to Ardmore for a lovely day.

We got into the swing of the new routines of hand washing, masks and social distancing.

We did amazing self-portraits.

We got busy in the cookery room! Brownies, pizza, milkshakes and rocky road were on the menu.
