Australia Day....2011 Calendar

This week we celebrated Australia Day.....we talked a lot about how people celebrate Australia Day and about the different Animals that we know that come from Australia. We looked at pictures of the different landmarks like Sydney Harbour bridge, The Sydney Opera House and Ayers Rock to name a few.

We then drew a picture of the Sydney Opera House and made it into a 2011 Calendar that we brought home to put up in our kitchens. Here we are making our calendars.

Babaro

On the 12th October, We went on a class trip to see 'Echoa', a show in the Black Box Theatre run by Babaro- The International Art's Festival for children. It had alot of drumming and dancing, it is kind of hard to descibe but it was great fun to watch.

Lets Go Fly A Kite

We had great fun making kites. We were lucky to get a windy day so it made our kites easy to fly. They took off quickly. Up up and away ...............................

Brigit's Garden

Big day out for Junior Infants

We visited Brigit's Garden on the 15th of June. We were very excited!! We went on the bus on Tuesday morning. We learned lots in Brigit's Garden and played lots of exciting games. We all made stinky potions using all the herbs in the garden. Kay our guide gave us magic paper to colour and make a wish using the colours and then we put it on a magic wishing branch. The branch is now in our garden outside the classroom.

We really enjoyed working as scientists.

We went fishing for pond creatures. Then we studied and examined the creatures we caught in special dishes . We were very gentle with them and put them back when we had examined them. We really enjoyed this part!

We had a great day.
