On Tuesday the 16th of October, Ms O’Loughlin’s third class were lucky enough to visit Liberty Hall to hear author Pamela Butchart speak about her children’s books.

The class were already familiar with her book, The Phantom Lollipop Man and they got to hear about how she used her old school in Scotland as an inspiration for her books.

The children had great fun acting out the characters and some people were lucky enough to be chosen to go onstage to help create a new story.   It was a very enjoyable trip.

Senior infants have been learning all about autumn and the garden. They have been so busy playing in our garden centre, making bird houses, painting trees, printing with apples, playing with conkers at the water table and building garden walls with blocks. Here are some pictures

This September we had so much fun on our treasure hunt around the Botanic Gardens searching for the amazing sculptures with our Parents. The sun shone as we explored the Botanical gardens looking for sculptures and signs of Autumn

We discovered some unusual works of art some we could touch and some that were too delicate to touch

Senior Infants are delighted to be back at school and have been having great fun. Here are some pictures.
