Sports Day

We had great fun at our annual Sports Day. Thank you to all the teachers who organised the different events: soccer, relay race, rounders, tug o' war,  sprint racing, long-distance race, sack race and egg and spoon race. Ms Mc Cahill gave a very informative talk on the sugar content of some of our favourite drinks.

As a treat, we had a delicious tub of ice cream.

Cycling

Today was our last day of The Bike Green Cycling Programme. Thank you to Francis and Paul for your patience. All of us now know how to cycle. Today's challenges were to duck under a pole while cycling and then to score the most points in a specially designed throwing contest.








Storyteller

We were invited to Cavan Library to listen to the amazing storyteller Fiona Dowling. She entertained us with a variety of stories and songs in many languages. 








Sunflowers

 We used potatoes to print beautiful sunflowers.



Fire Station Visit

Third Class visited Cavan Fire Station. Connor and Andrew showed us the life-saving equipment. We each got a go at using the hose. 

It was great fun.

Boxercise

We had the honour of being trained by the champion boxer Dominic Donegan. 

Don't mess with us!



Onomatopoeia

We learned about onomatopoeia in our English poetry lessons. Onomatopoeia is a word that phonetically imitates, resembles or suggests the sound that it describes. We coloured some examples.
