Garda Fergus Donoghue came to visit. He told us all about his job and the important things that An Gárda Síochána are involved in. It was very interesting and we had lots of questions for him!

Watching for Foxes.
We learned more about foxes. We looked at different pictures and drew sketches of them. We decided to get things from outside and stick them to our pictures so it look natural. Everyone did a great job. They are hanging up inside our classroom this week.

The Irish word for a fox is a 'Sionnach'.

The Celts

The Celts lived in the center of Europe.
They discovered iron.
They made weapons and farming tools out of iron.
They were good warriors and fought many battles but could not defeat the Romans.
