In ALC Blue we visited Drumcondra Library on Wednesday. The librarian Ciara had a sensory spot ready for us and we got to trial new sensory toys for the library. We then got to read a Dirty Bertie book about zombies! We would highly recommend a visit to the library. There are so many books and dvds that can be checked out or you can even just go for some chill time 😊

Both Fifth Classes enjoyed a trip to a ‘Magical Plants’ workshop in the Botanic Gardens this week where we learnt lots of spooky and interesting facts about different plants and flowers. Beccy & Sylvia

Beccy’s Fifth class finished their Local area projects, which comprised of hand drawn maps and group-researched posters about different local buildings which they then made constructions of! Buildings chosen were the round tower at Glasnevin, Balnagowan House, DCU, John Players Factory, Bon Secours Hospital, a Glasshouse from the Botanic Gardens and the MET office. Beccy

Junior infants teamed up with Jill’s class for some shared reading. Emma
