St. Patrick's Day

We all wore green to school to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The Social Justice Team held a cake stall at playtime to raise money for Caritas. We ate all things green - jelly, cordial, cakes, icecream, biscuits! We even had our faces painted. It was a great day! St. Patrick's Day on PhotoPeach

The Lost Sheep

We went outside to play a game 'The Lost Sheep' game today. One of us was the Good Shepherd, two of us were wolves and the rest of us were sheep. The sheep wandered out on to the grass and they followed the Good Shepherd who kept them safe from the wolves. At the end of the game we shared how we felt at different stages of the game. The Good Shepherd felt proud and wanted to protect the sheep from the wolves. The sheep felt safe but then they were scared when the wolves came and the wolves were angry because the Good Shepherd kept them away from the sheep. We discovered that the message from this 'Parable' is that God will always love us and be with us when we need him.

What is Happening to Hairy Harry?

When we made our Hairy Harry heads we created some of them differently. Some had no soil, others no water and another one had no light. Now it is time to go and see how they are going.
Do you think that the seeds can grow if they are missing either water, soil or light?

Let's see how they are going!

This Hairy Harry has soil, water and light.

What can you tell about the importance of water, soil and light to the growth of a plant?
Why does Hairy Harry have yellow hair when he doesn't get any light?

Where Are We?

We went outside to find out more about 'location' words.
We sat on the hill.
Nyandit put her hat in her bag.
We sat on the seat. We stood beside the flag pole.
We stood behind the tree.
We stood in front of the wall.
We stood on the play equipment.

This Is Me!

Marvellous Monsters

This week we have been learning about words that begin with 'm' and how to write 'm'. One of our activities was to create our own monsters. We hope that you don't get too scared! Marvellous Monsters on PhotoPeach
