I went around to Ms. Maguire’s 1st class to ask them some questions. In art they have been doing Halloween cards with spooky houses on them. The children are very excited to start their Christmas art. I asked two students what their favourite subject was and they said Art and Maths. Ms Maguire’s favourite subject is music.
During the week I visited Ms. Maguire’s First Class.
Recently they’ve been doing a lot of Science and Autumnal Art. Everyone says that their favourite subjects are Science, Maths, singing and dancing and they are all very keen to learn about animals, Science and space this year.
Ms. Maguire says that she is really enjoying teaching First Class because they are all very energetic, bright, good friends and are not scared to have a go at anything. Ms. Maguire also mentioned that she finds it really interesting that there are so many different nationalities in the class. The whole class including Ms. Maguire are extremely excited for the year ahead.
Until next time,

Hello Everyone!
Welcome back to St Anne’s news. Today we have an interview from Andrea in Ms. Rigby’s First Class. She has given us her perspective of school.
She told me that she loves school and enjoys Maths, Art and playing with her friends. She likes to play tag and cat games. She likes her teacher because she looks nice and teaches well.
See you next time for another interview.
I had an interview with Mr. Donnelly’s class. They are enjoying First Class but when I asked them what they missed about Senior Infants, they said finishing at half one. They all said that they like basketball, football and dodgeball.
I got an exclusive interview with Flynn. Flynn is a six-year-old boy who has travelled all over the world. His favourite countries that he has ever been to are Cambodia, Bali and Thailand.
Mr. Donnelly then told me that the children in his class love when he teaches his favourite subject which is Science. He said sometimes they can act like cheeky monkeys! The class did an experiment to see how a helicopter can fly. They made their own out of paper. They had great fun flying them.

Welcome to this month’s blog. Mr. Donnelly is doing lots of science. His class is having lots of fun as well. During science they did experiments with coke. The first experiment they put milk in coke. The results weren’t nice. The milk and coke separated. It looked pretty much like water apart from the fact that there was brown, particle like stuff on the bottom and on the surface of the water.
The second experiment was putting a tooth into coke! Surprisingly the tooth didn’t dissolve! The tooth went all black and yucky! Mr. Donnelly and his class love science. They also learned about bacteria. His class enjoy playing maths game as well. They were working hard on grammar and vocabulary games. Mr. Donnelly says that they enjoy doing their work.
That’s all folks!
The two First Classes were doing a lot of art, 3D shapes and science this month.
Mr Donnelly’s class were doing project work. Their projects were about amazing children and how their stories of great acts changed the world. Such children include Lydia Ko, Param Jaggi and Kim Ung Yung. Param Jaggi developed a machine that turned carbon dioxide into oxygen!
Ms Walsh’s class were learning about weight, length, sound, transport and making hot air balloons. Here is a picture of her class measuring length in the yard!
