We have planted the donated blackcurrant, redcurrant, raspberry and blackberry plants along the fence. Hopefully we should get our first crop this year! This week at gardening club we turned over the soil to break it … [Read more...]

Chris won the Specsavers  Irish Children's Book of the Year for this super tale of a lonesome beast trying to friend his friends!  1st class had great fun listening to the story, asking Chris lots of questions and drawing their own versions of the Lonely Beast. Chris also found time to share his brand new book … [Read more...]

Our tie dyed t-shirts turned out just great! I used an olive green colour! The one common mistake we did notice is that if you did not tie the elastic bands tight enough that the dye leaks through and the pattern is not as obvious!

February 24, 2012 By

Taste Bud Test Today we were doing a taste bud test. Firstly we learned that your sense of smell and taste are linked, but we couldn’t take Bobby’s word for it…we had to put it to the test. We held our noses and closed our eyes. Our partners gave us fruit and we had to guess what fruit it was. The idea was that it would be difficult to taste what fruit was what if we could not see or smell it. The fruits were mango, banana, apple, pear and pineapple. 3 quarters of our class had … [Read more...]
