Scoil Chrónáin Naofa, Dromakeenan

We were absolutely delighted this year to receive a phone call advising us that we had a winner in the INTO Handwriting Competition.  Ava in Junior Infants had come first in the regional final!  This is a great achievement ! Our delight was doubled when we received a second phone call  telling us that Jamie in Aoibhneas Class 1 was also a prizewinner – Jamie had been awarded a Certificate of Achievement. Both pupils attended a function in Tullamore where they received their prizes.         Well done Ava and Jamie!  

To enjoy the fabulous weather we’ve been having, Feasty Friday got moved outside!! We cooked some yummy sausages and chicken on the barbeque and sat out in the sun. We played on the playground and had lots of fun! The food was yummy!!….thank you Mr G!!                                             

In class 1 we have been reading all about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We made some caterpillars out of card in art. We painted paper plates to make a big caterpillar for our display board. We also talked about the foods that the caterpillar ate. So, in keeping with our theme, we chose to make a caterpillar cake for feasty Friday this week! We got some buns and made some green and red icing. We placed the buns on a board in the shape of a caterpillar. We used sweets to decorate the caterpillars face and to add some feet! It looked brilliant!! it tasted as good too   24/05/13            ... 

We’re very musical here in Aoibhneas Class 1! We really enjoy playing the chime bars!!                   

We made lovely hot chocolate in Aoibhneas on Feasty Friday. We made it with real chocolate and milk! We also made a dairy-free hot chocolate  We added marshmallows and had some digestive biscuits to dunk into it…YUM!!                     

On March 8th, Aoibhneas Class 1 and 2 set off to Tullamore on a day trip to Jumping Jacks and Cosmic Bowl. We played in the big ball pool, (much bigger than ours ) with slides and basketball and climbing frames. We then went bowling which was lots of fun. Then we had a yummy lunch together. It was such a fun day out.                                                      ….someone’s worn out                  

Aoibhneas Class 1 and 2 have started drumming lessons with Eddie. We started this morning (4th March). We had lots of fun. We used our hands and we also used drumsticks to play the drums. There was also different instruments like the Tambourine and shakers.                                             

Seen as Valentines day is coming soon, we decided in Aoibhneas to dedicate our Feasty Friday this week to Valentines and all things LOVEly Class 1′s turn was this week and we made heart shaped cookies and scones with our friends in Class 2! they were fab!! We decorated the cookies with pink icing and sprinkles!! Happy Valentines Day <3                                      

Mrs. Garrod came to visit us in Class 1 and brought in some fabulous puppets for us. We had lots of fun with them and made up some stories to act out!!  

Feasty Friday is back. We enjoyed it so much the last time, we have decided to give it another run Class 2 started it off with some lovely, healthy chicken wraps. Both children and staff enjoyed them Class 1 followed with homemade beef burgers, they were messy to make, we had to mix up the meat, beat the eggs and stir it all together. they were so yummy we gobbled them all up
