The Rainbow Fish

We read a great story called the Rainbow fish about a really kind fish.

We enjoyed putting the story in the right sequence.

Listen to the story here:

The letter Rr

We are learning all about the letter Rr

We know what sound it makes and we are able to write it now

Today we used marla, pipe cleaners, crayons, counters and rainbow sand to make the letter r

A rocket rhyme

We know a rocket rhyme

Zoom zoom to the moon

Travel really fast

Out around the universe

Watch the world go past

Today we wrote out this poem onto a rocket.

We decorated our rockets and then stuck them to a giant rocket which is outside our classroom now.

A puppet show in Ballybane library

We were invited to Ballybane library for their book week event.

Today we attended a puppet show with Jay Ryan from Pignot Puppets.

The puppet show was wonderful and the magic show was even better.

We loved Jay's magic colouring book, we loved watching Jay catching a bubble and we especially loved when Jay used Joanna's word "Abracadabra" to change a red handkerchief into a huge magic wand.

Thank you so much Jay for your wonderful performance

and to our parents who made sure we had waterproof jackets and shoes for our walk today.

Room on the Broom sound effects

We have been reading this story in class.

We really like it.

Today we re-read the story again, adding sound effects whenever we could.

The story is so much more fun and interesting with added sound effects.

Visiting our school library

Our class will visit our school library every Tuesday and each child can take a book that she/he likes.  This book needs to be brought back to school on Friday in time to make it easy for teacher to issue new books on Tuesday.

Enjoy sharing some nice books with your child!
