We kicked off the month of October dancing to trad music in the yard during our Céilí Mór. It was great to finally celebrate our Green Day!

The children created lots of art using paint. They painted and decorated pumpkins. They also used marbles dipped in paint to make fireworks.

As part of Maths week the children paired up to complete a maths trail in the PE hall. They had to find 20 cards stuck around the hall and answer the questions on them. They displayed great team work and maths skills completing this challenge. At the end of the week they received Maths Week certificates from Ms. Comerford.

After a very exciting Maths trail we went to the Phoenix Park to complete a nature trail. The children found 17 out of the 20 items from their nature lists. We will look out for ants, butterflies and caterpillars in the spring time when the weather gets warmer.

To get in the mood for Hallowe’en we made Frankenstein treats. We used rice krispies, marshmallows, green food dye, chocolate, rolos, strawberry laces and white buttons. They were more tasty than scary!

Finally, the children had a spooktacular time dressing up with their friends for their Hallowe’en break. Ashley’s pet snake even came in for a surprise visit…yikes!!
