For the past couple of weeks 1st & 2nd class have been learning about apples.
From looking at the different apple varieties, to how they are harvested and creating an excellent apple harvest display they now have a great deal more knowledge on a favourite fruit for many.
In recognition of their hard work, they all got apples from the Apple Farm in Cahir. The variety they received was ‘Tipperary Pippen’.
Some beautiful artwork is starting to fill up the school’s walls, like these colourful autumn scenes in Mr. Fitzgerald’s room.
A display of the LEGO portraits which were created by 5th class.
3rd & 4th class completed an excellent investigation in their room last week. You can read about it in these write ups:

Here are some photos of some of the pupils on walks last week. Juniors and Seniors made a new friend on their walk!
1st & 2nd class celebrated the work of Eric Carle by creating some artwork in the style which he became famous for. The class also looked at some of his more well known children’s books like ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?’.
Have a look at the beautiful artwork being created by the children in juniors and seniors.
3rd & 4th Class explored the school grounds recently on a ‘Shape Scavenger Hunt’ which was designed by a pupil in the room.

On Friday 1st & 2nd class learned about some of the Irish athletes that will be heading to Tokyo for the Olympic Games.
