On Monday three Gardaí from Swords Garda station came to visit Room 1. They told us all about the important work they do. Some of us tried on a Garda hat and even handcuffs. We looked at the Garda car too.

We are still working on the athletics strand in PE. We are getting faster...

Look what we are working on in November:

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone on the 21st November at the parent teacher meetings.  Each meeting will be about 5 minutes long.  Don't forget to return your acceptance slip!

We have new themes for aistear for November.

People at work: doctor's surgery-firefighter playdoh mats-literacy book nook

Size: long-longer-longest. Small-medium-large...: sandpit

Goldilocks and the 3 bears: small world

Here are some photos of our first day exploring these themes!

Right hand

A partner

The secret is to keep your eye on the bean bag!

We had a great Halloween party on Friday.  All the children wore great costumes.  We had a costume fashion show, did creepy Karaoke and played bumps in the night.  Well done to the children who won the pumpkin raffle!
