January was a busy and fun month. We started our 'Couch to 5k' training programme where we are training to be able to run 5k! Can you believe it! We are all very excited about it and really enjoying the training so far. As a reward for our training we cook something healthy at the end of each week for our golden time. So far we've made homemade Kale Crisps, Smoothies, Red Pepper and Plain Hummus served with a selection of dips and Healthy Granola Bars. As it was Grandparents days we invited our Nanny's in to help us make the red pepper and plain hummus. They were are great help as it was a lots of work. We had to first roast the red peppers and peel the skin off them. They we got all the ingredients for the hummus ready - chickpeas, garlic, tahini and lemon juice. It was actually quite easy. The table doing the presentation of the food prepared all the carrots, peppers and pitta breads as dips. It was delicious - we all preferred the red pepper one as we think Ms O'Brien put too much lemon juice in the plain one! These are the granola bars we made last Friday. They were so chewy and delicious and only had 5 ingredients - Almonds, Oats, Almond Butter, Honey and Dates. We have now run 24 minutes and it feels great. We are all getting fitter and feeling healthier and stronger. Hi it's Nora and Katie here .
On a dreadful Monday we did our morning prayer after our morning prayer we did Irish. In Irish we played bingo it was good but Katie and I didn't win but it's ok because we are playing it again on Tuesday. Then after Irish we did some Maths it was not hard,it was easy. In Maths we did fractions it was a bit hard. Then after Maths it was lunch time we could not go out because it was raining and it was way to cold so we sat in our class and we ate our tasty lunch ,and we were all talking. When lunch time was finished we took pictures to put out side of the school office we all got a letter each and we spelled out really nice words and then they will look so so pretty up over the wall on top of the office.Then we did religion we learned about advent wreath it was so pretty .after religion it was big lunch we ate our lunch then we got our coats on and we went out to yard.We had half yardtime then went in for the other half because it was raining.Then we lined up for P.E, so we went down stairs to our hall and we played basketball.we practised shooting in the net,dribbling and tackling.it was so fun.

Hi me and my friend Sasha are doing the blog this week. Our teacher Ms.O'Brien called me and my friend China up to her desk and asked us to put culture into a sentence and a meaning. She recorded us saying it and it is now on the wall. She calls it Augmented Reality! Katie and I looked up stuff about the 1916 rising. We found a lot of history. On yard there was a lot of pupils. There was a new teacher in the classroom and she is very nice. We have the four courts and Sean Mac Dermott and Elizabeth O'Farell. The day after we played a balloon game,how it works is we get each person to come up at the board and there is sums at the top and in the balloons there is a bunch of different answers and you have to pick one. It was really fun. Our teacher writes down the scores. The winner was Kezia,she was really happy. Yesterday our teacher was telling us that we were going to be learning how to play the tin whistle. we were so exited everybody in our class out in yard this morning was playing the tin whistle. It was so funny. Today ( Friday ) we played the balloon game. How it works is we get each person to come up at the board and do our tables and at the top of the baloon there is a bunch of different answers and you have to pick one. It was really fun. Our teacher writes down the scores. The winner was Kezia.
