First Day of School
The first day of school
Can be hard for Mom and Dad.
Part of you feels excited,
The other part feels sad.
For many years you’ve held their hand
And have been their loving guide.
Now you know the time has come
To leave them by my side.
But it is only for a little while,
As your child will learn and grow.
And at the end of every day
They will share with you all they know.
So as you walk away
Don’t worry anymore.
I’ll take care of your little one
When you leave them at my door.
From Ms. Hartnett

Our Autumn Walk!
We went on an autumn walk to the Hugging Tree. We were looking for some autumn changes. We found autumn leaves after changing colour. They were red, yellow, orange and brown. We found conkers and conker husks too. We saw berries on the hedges. When we arrived at the Hugging Tree we made a special wish. We remembered our road safety rules on the way. When we got back to school we sorted what we found into sets. We recorded what we saw, smelt, heard and felt. We had a fantastic time!

Michelangelo
|
|
In our History lessons we listened to a story about Michelangelo. He lived a very long time ago. He was a great artist. He painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Italy.
Ms. Hartnett allowed us to be mini Michelangelos!! We lay under our tables and drew our own masterpieces. We had great fun. After awhile our backs got very sore!! |
December
We have been learning about owls in our Science lessons. Owls are nocturnal which means they come out at night. A baby owl is called an owlet. A barn owl does not hoot, it screeches. A barn owl has a sharp beak and sharp claws called talons. It has speckled feathers. It has large eyes and a flat heart shaped face. They are good hunters because when they fly their wings don't make a sound.
In our art lesson we created our own owls with the help of our buddies.

Science: Does it float or sink?
We tested 6 different things to check if they float or sink. We made our predictions before we tested. Our buddies helped us.
