Last week our topic was "how to Keep Our Bodies Healthy".  We explored our five senses with taste, smell and hearing tests.  We read and responded to the book Handa'a Surprise.  Sophie's Mammy came to visit with Bándearg the Dinosaur who showed us how to brush our teeth properly.  We did lots of PE in the hall and watched a DVD where Barnaby Bear taught us all about keeping fit and eating well.  We also designed a healthy meal and on Friday we made Fruit Kebabs.

The Tuesday before the midterm was a very busy day.  We spent the morning finishing off our Valentine's love bugs and handprint poems and then after break we had our Grandparents Day concert.  We loved putting on a show for all our mammies, daddies and grandparents.
Later on we sang the pancake song and tasted some pancakes that teacher had made.  They were yummy!  We were definitely ready for our holiday by hometime !

We have been working very hard on our sight words - I know there is a lot of them and the children do need to be revising them every night at home.
Here are some pictures of us playing numeracy and literacy games.  Some of the games were linked with our rhymes and stories - "Ladybird Ladybird" and
