Happy Easter everyone! The girls in third class had great fun making their Easter Chicks using clay.

We let them dry for a few days and then we painted and decorated them!

Take a look…

We had a great time learning about Australia. We learned about all the Australian animals and their habitats in Science, we learned about the Aborigines in history, and we learned about the country in Geography. Afterwards we carried out a big project using all the information we had learned!

We also did lots of Australian art!

We made these beautiful pictures using the Aboriginal dot painting technique.

We also made didgeridoos, which we brought home so we could play some lovely music for our families.

And we used papier mache to make these boomerangs, and painted them when they were dry.

We were learning all about syymmetry in our Maths so we decided to show how symmetry is in the world all around us by drawing and painting some symmetrical pictures!

The girls in third class learned how to quill paper. When we got really good at it, we used our quilling skills to make these beautiful pictures!

On March 4th Tara Talbot the current Rose of  Tralee paid a special visit to our school. She was welcomed by the School Council, Mr. Gately and her good friend Ms. Mary Kehoe, the Wexford Rose who is currently working in the school. Tara was really impressed with all the questions asked by the children, with our wonderful choir, under the direction of Ms. Hughes and the fabulous reception she received from all the pupils and staff in our halla. Tara was born in Dublin, but she moved to Queensland, Australia when she was 5yrs old. While it was her first visit to Wexford town, she had visited other parts of Wexford before.

Next time you visit our School Garden why not see if you can find the frogspawn. 

Be careful when you are searching for them that you don’t fall into the water!
