Latest - Our Potato Plant

After the weekend we saw lots of change in our potato growing bag. In just three weeks we noticed lots of activity. We watered it again today.

Kenya

We are learning about Kenya this week. We all did projects on Kenya. It is a very hot country. The biggest mountain in Kenya is Mount Kenya. It is the second biggest mountain in Africa. Nairobi is the capital of Kenya. The biggest lake in Kenya is Lake Victoria. It is nearly as big as Ireland! If you want to see our projects come to the third and fourth classroom where they are on display.

Happy Mother's Day to all our Mothers

Wonderful Mother

God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old.
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold.
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see.
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me


We made cards and badges for our mammies.

We painted some candle holders.

Sewing

We made pin cushions for mother's day. We gathered different materials and cut out the shape of the cushion. We sewed a heart on the front of the cushion. After sewing around the edges we filled it with soft material and did the final edge. The cushions came out well. We enjoyed sewing.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

This is 4th class with our St. Patrick's day art work.

This is 3rd class with our St. Patrick's day art work.

We painted glass jars with glass paints and decorarted them for St. Patrick's day. Miss Lardner gave us candles to place inside.

We made Irish leprechauns out using old kitchen rolls. We painted them green and once they were dry we added our own details!

Here we are painting the old kitchen rolls.
Here we are decorating the leprechauns.
Here are some of the finished leprechauns.

We used lots of green paint.

We used glass paints to paint our candle holders.

It was nice to decorate the glass.

We tried not to get any on our hands.

We painted using the colours Green, White and Gold for St. Patrick's day!

It was relaxing to use the glass paints.

Something is growing!

We are starting to see the first signs of growth of our seeds today.

This is the start of our lettuce!

This is the strawberry plant.

These are the cabbage seeds starting off.

This is the scallion starting off.

This is the cabbage plant!

Planting our Potato

We dug a hole in the bag of compost and soil.

We carefully placed the potato in the middle of the growing bag.

Next we watered the soil.

Planting the seeds

We sorted out the seeds for our scallions, cabbage and lettuce plants.
Today we planted the cabbage seeds carefully in the soil. We made sure they were covered in compost and then watered the seeds. Then we covered the container with a black bag to keep out the light. We will leave it covered for 2/3 days.
