Our animal visitors

Yesterday for news Claudia bought in a tiny duckling that had been left by it's mother. Claudia called him/her "fluffy" and boy was it "CUTE". Tania held him really gently while all the children got to give it a little pat to feel how soft he was. Thanks Claudia that was great news.

Bridie also had very interesting news... she found a little green frog at home when she was playing so she bought it in to show us. Her Mum Connaire helped her put it in an old fish tank with lots of grass..... he was pretty cool to look at, and at some stages during the day all the children were screaming at the same time because he was climbing up the side of the tank. Mrs Behague was very thankful there was a lid on them top with vents for it to breathe!!!!!

Our Italian Visitors!!

Today we were lucky enough to have Henry's Uncle Gavin and Patritzia come and visit us all the way from Italy. Well they didn't come just to see us, they were coming to see Henry's family!!!! They had posted some comments on our blog so it was great to meet them. Gavin answered alot of the children's questions about Italy and what they did there etc. Patrizia translated the children's names into Italian and we practised pronouncing them..... I must say they sound very dramatic compared with how we speak. It was alot of fun and the children were so lucky and got given a little Italian Flag with their translated name on it from Gavin and Patritzia.

Athletics Day

Today we had our athletics..... We did shot put (with beanbags) and discus (with coits) and high jump and long jump. We also did running. We had the finals of the running races this afternoon which was great fun.

Assembly 9th November

Fun Friday

On fun Friday me and Bridie also Dominic made a castle with a long gate. It needed lots and lots of rulers to measure it. We used 8 little rulers (30cm) and 1 big (1m). Also it was made out of blocks. I make buildings out of blocks because I like measuring them and putting things on top.

Time

We have lots of ways to make time. We have normal clocks and digital ones we have lots of different ones. These are some of the things I know about time......
* There are 7 days in a week
* There are 60seconds in a minutes
* There are 60 minutes in an hour
Mrs Behague taught us a song to remember how many days in each month..... it goes like this:
30 days have September, April, June and November
all the rest have 31
except for February
all on it's own!!!
