On Friday two very funny Gardaí came to visit our class. They let everybody try on their hats and hold their handcuffs. They told us lots of jokes and made everyone laugh. They even handcuffed Suzanne and Miss Dempsey!

On Friday we all dressed up for Hallowe'en! Well done to everybody for putting so much effort into their costumes! You all looked great! We played lots of games like 'Bobbing for Apples', 'Mountain of Flour', 'Musical Statues' and 'Musical Bumps'. We watched a Hallowe'en cartoon called 'Meg and Mog' while eating chocolate apples and we did our favourite Hallowe'en dance, the Skeleton Dance. Here is a link to the Skeleton Dance on Youtube.

We made a scary witch using a mask, a hat and a dress. We stuffed them with cushions to make them look like a real witch. We move our pretend witch around the room to try to scare all the teachers!

Here is our pretend witch reading 'Winnie the Witch'.

Autumn Nature Walk

This week we started learning about autumn. We went on a nature walk to look for some autumn leaves and fruit.
Picture
We found loads of brown leaves!
Picture
We didn't find any acorns or conkers. Maybe the squirrels have them hidden already for the long winter!
Picture
We were very lucky to see some blackberries behind the prefabs.
Picture
We put everything on our nature table with our two hedgehogs.
Picture
This is our colourful autumn board. We cut out the leaves ourselves.
