In class, we read an excerpt from The Hiring Fair by Elizabeth O'Hara.
Thankfully this doesn't happen now, but maybe some older relatives would have some information about these fairs.
Ask at home and post any news here.
Whatever the weather...
5th and 6th class
You are learning about the weather, and in particular the instruments for measuring weather and how this inforrmation can be recorded.
The group challenge issued to you is to design an anemometer from simple materials that will give a basic reading of wind speed.
Here are some websites that will help you understand the elements of weather better.

Holy Rosary Convent
Today we visited the sisters of the Holy Rosary convent in Cavan.
We met with Sr. Kitty, Sr. Phyllis, Sr. Fidelma and Sr. Frances.
Alix, our photographer took lots of photos of the beautiful stained glass windows in their church.
Next week the pupils will post some information we learned from the sisters, as well as our picures of their windows.

Who wants pizza?
Ms. Prior has promised that the class who gets the most tokens at playtimes in September will win a pizza party!
I think that the boys and girls in my room should set an example for the whole of the school and model good behaviour every day.
(and win the pizza party- I want pepperoni!)
