We are so proud of our latest project! We gave the Golden Book a makeover!

The Golden Book is a place where the children's good and kind choices are recorded and celebrated. The Golden Book is brought out during our school assemblies. It is so exciting to hear our names called out. It's always a special moment!

We choose to decorate it with a special community minded creature. The honey bee! We put one big honey bee on the front. And we each designed our own on the back. The children also felt the book was so special that it deserved to sparkle! We added beautiful golden gems.

This is how it looked before...

… and this is how it looked after!

Cúigear fear ag tógáil tí, ag tógáil tí,  ag tógáil tí
Cúigear fear ag tógáil tí,
Shuigh fear síos is  lig sé scíth!

The song is called Aon, Dó, Trí, Ceathar,  Cuig, Sé. (1,2,3,4,5,6.)

As part of our Stay Safe Programme the children choose 5 adults who they could tell if they had a problem, felt unsafe or worried.

The children came up with such good ideas. Ask your child which 5 people could they tell?

We have started the Stay Safe Programme. This is a programme that teaches personal safety skills. After the programme, the children will know what to do in a situation that feels uncomfortable or unsafe. 

This week we talked about situations that feel safe and situations that feel unsafe. 

Why not chat to your children and see which situations feel safe or unsafe for them?
​

The children take great pride in our clean and tidy classroom. We keep our desks clear. Our books stay in the right place and we clean up small spills ourselves.

Every single day we get more independent!

We have been spotted! We were so surprised and proud when Caitriona awarded us with the 'Tidiest Classroom Award' during our school assembly!

We can't wait to hang the award up in in our classroom!

In Aistear we play and learn about lots of things!

This month we have been learning about The Post Office!

Ask us what we have learned!

What does the Post Office Worker do?
What happens at the sorting office?
What does the Postman/Postwoman do?

We know a new song! Click the schoolbag image to hear us!

It is in Irish. It means:

Oh I like to go to school!
Oh I like to go to school!
Schoolbag on my back!
Schoolbag on my back!
I'm at school! I'm at school!
I'm at school now!
I'm at school! I'm at school!
​I'm at school now!

​We spent lots of time in September remembering how to play with others. 

There's so much to remember!

We try...

• to be kind.
• to be gentle.
• to be brave and honest.
• to look after property.
• to listen to each other.
• to solve problems with words.
• to share.
