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

Tidy Towns Competition

admin01 — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:32:40 +0000

Aoibhneas Class 1 came 2nd place in the local Tidy Towns poster competition. Oisin and Jamie came into the library on the presentation night to collect the prize with their parents. The title was “My Green School” so we chose to paint a picture that shows us “doing our bit” for the environment!! We all come to school on the bus so we thought this would be a lovely idea to use in our “Green School” theme. Taking the bus helps us to help the earth by having less traffic on the roads
