Making Soup - 2nd Class become chefs for the day!

28/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Yesterday we got the chance to become chefs and make soup from scratch. We went out into the school garden to pick some fresh vegetables and we also brought some in from home. To make our soup we used potatoes, carrots, parsnips, leeks, celery and onions. We washed all the vegetables, peeled them and cut them and placed them all into one big pot. The vegetables were then boiled and when soft, blended together. We added a stock cube, cream, salt, pepper and curry powder at the end.  Kate's dad also sent in some delicious brown bread for us to have with our soup. We really enjoyed making the soup and it was so delicious. We would like to say a big thank you to Kathleen, Gail and Dolores for all their help!

Meán Fomhair i Seomra 13!

27/9/2017

0 Comments

 
We have been very busy here in 5th Class (Room 13) since we started back at school!

In art, we created our 'Selfie Portraits' - we learned how important it is to plan our drawing before we begin and the importance of starting with the eyes. We also created some rustic autumn trees by using  a variety of techniques using both brown and crepe paper such as folding, crumpling, moulding and balancing.
We also used teabags to create our 'Scrolls from the Past' to show how people may have learned about the 10 Commandments after the time of Moses.
Our Poet of the Month is W.B. Yeats (1865 - 1939). We have been learning about his life and looking at some of his work. We focused on his use of imagery in  'The Lake Isle of Inisfree' and chose our favourite lines of imagery from the poem. These lines then inspired us to draw what we saw "in our minds".
I nGaeilge, bhíomar an gnóthach! Bhíomar ag foghlaim an amhráin 'Caisleán ar an Dhroim' le Ed Sheeran. Chomh maith le sin, rinneamar Greannáin iontach bunaithe ar an scéal 'Daithí agus an Turgnamh Eolaíochta'. Tóg féachaint orthu!

Take a look at some of the work we have been getting up to!

Making Soup in Ms. Cooneys' 4th Class

26/9/2017

Today in our class we made  vegetable soup using the lovely vegetables we grew in our school garden last year. Kathleen,  Anne  and Christine were very kind and came to help us with our soup. First we went out and picked the vegetables from the garden. Then we went to the staff room where we washed and chopped the vegetables.  We chopped potatoes,  carrots,  parsnips, leeks,  garlic and onions.  We placed them in a huge pot and cooked them. When they were ready we added some herbs,  salt, pepper  curry powder and cream, Kathleen then blended the soup for us. When it was ready we all tried some and added in some homemade croutons.  It was delicious.  We can give mum and dad a break in the kitchen now and make  lovely vegetable soup for them.

Soil Investigation - Ms.Lane Room 8

21/9/2017

0 Comments

 
We carried out a soil investigation today. We examined a sample of soil and we found roots, moss, twigs, leaves and even snails. Then we half-filled a jar with some of the soil and filled the other half with water. The two were mixed together and left to settle. After an hour we examined the jar to see what had floated to the top and what had sank and we recorded the results. It was a fun experiment!
