Healthy Ireland Workshops with 4th class

Aisling worked with both our 4th classes today to share some interesting ideas and tastes of healthy food.

Taste is 90% based on smell- these two 4th class pupils helped Aisling experiment to see if they could tell the difference between the taste of an apple and an onion while they kept their eyes shut and held their nose to avoid smelling the food.

Results: The two pupils confirmed it took them a few seconds to figure out if the food they were tasting was the Apple or the onion. 

Maths for Fun

The children in Junior Infants have had a brilliant few weeks playing our Maths for Fun games in their classrooms with our Parent Volunteers.

A huge thanks to our volunteers who helped make this possible!

Fighting Words

On Wednesday, Ms. Kelly’s 3rd class boarded a bus for Cabinteely House. Before getting started on our creative writing workshop, we were given a tour of the house and listened to a story of the supernatural from one of the helpers. 

The children wrote a great story with the help of writers and illustrators. After a quick break and taking in the beautiful scenery, the children headed back to the workshop to get final approval for their story from their editor!  

We had a great day out!

We found out that apples, water and swimming are our favourites with baton twirling, pears and diluted drinks among our least favourites. 

Next week we will focus on yoga and mindfulness with Ms Cawley.
