October was another busy and active month in the Senior Room.

English - we looked at Explanation Writing and completed brilliant Halloween themed pieces. We also learned a spooky poem and Ms Greene read The Widows Broom story to us. We read the A-Z of Monsters and about the peculiar happenings at 43 Old Cemetery Rd.

Gaeilge - we completed the theme of Mé Féin and we have learned so much about Mé Féin and An Scoil that we were able to write brilliant profile pieces on ourselves.
SPHE/Religion - We began our Weaving Wellbeing Programme and found out all about the positive benefits of Wellbeing and Mindfulness. As October is the month of the Rosary we looked at the history of the Rosary and how and when to say it.
Maths Week - We were busy playing maths games, watching Maths Tv and surveying, tallying and recording on graphs on our chosen topic
Geography - We learned more about our beautiful country, concentrating on the rivers and lakes
Science - We did some fun slime and potion experiments with Ms Hedderman and also looked at how plants drink.
PE - We completed our mile a day challenge and also our Halloween Fundraiser cycle. Some of us did great running/cycling in Cullen Park and some of us did a 7km look of Ballykane! That’s as well as playing basketball and football during lunch! Phew!
Art - We completed some haunted Victorian houses which really look lovely in the hall.
Then we finished up the month by having a Halloween dress up day with treats and some dancing
