Stepping up in the snow!

We are stepping up in Scoil Mhuire to measure how much energy we use. It is encouraging us to be more active. We are using a pedometer to count how many steps we are taking each day. The class who has taken the most steps will receive the golden boot, Second place wins the silver Wellington and third place gets the fluorescent flip flop.
Here are some photos of us enjoying the snow while counting our steps.

Green Fashion Show

In Scoil Mhuire we are very conscious of the environment and are proud to say we have 6 green flags.  In October we created costumes and fashion items from recycled materials. We walked down the catwalk to show our inventive creations.
Here are some photos of the days of preparation and the Green fashion show.

Halloween in Room 13

Happy Halloween

We would like to wish everyone a happy Halloween! All the children looked fantastic dressed up in their Halloween costumes and even some of the teachers were unrecognizable! We learned about Halloween safety and created posters to raise awareness about this. 

 We went on spooky school walk to end the day.

The Skeleton

The Skeleton

This month we have being learning all about out skeleton. We can name the bones in the body and we know where they are located.

 Here we are labelling the bones of the skeleton.

We also made life sized skeletons by drawing the outline of members of the class. We really enjoyed this activity.

                  Here are the finished results

Halloween Pumpkins

Halloween Pumpkins

Last Friday we designed our own pumpkins using coloured paper. Firstly we drew our ideas before cutting out our creations.
We love that everybody was given the same materials but yet they all turned out differently.
                         HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
