St. Aidan's Primary School Classes

Have you been to Latvia? 
We have been there on a magical, “virtual” visit.
We learned about Latvia’s flag, language, customs, traditions, money and lots, lots more. We especially loved finding out about (and tasting) some lovely Latvian food.
A BIG THANK YOU (paldies) to Evelyn’s Mum for making us a bowl of delicious bacon buns (Pîrâgi). We also tasted some delicious rye bread.
Come and visit Latvia with us… you should know what to do by now Click the link on the picture.

Flat Stanley spotted Miss Moloney in Barcelona. He showed her around Barcelona Cathedral (Church of the Holy Cross and St. Eulalia), brought her to see people dancing the Sardana (national dance of Catalonia) and showed her Placa d’ Catalunya (Catalonia Square) by night.

We have been discussing the upcoming Olympic Games which are being held in London this Summer.

Using collage, we made our own Olympic Rings.

Using the art method of Pointillism, we coloured Koalas & Kangaroos.

We have been learning all about Australia for the past few weeks.

Here are some examples of Australian items including our very own  didgeridoos.

We loved designing and making clothes for our boys and girls in Senior Infants. Aren’t they very fashionable!!!!

We bring flowers to honour the ‘Queen of May’

Enjoy our beatiful paintings of  Van Gogh’s ” A Starry Night” & ” Sunflowers in a Vase”.

Summer has arrived in the Language Units. We have our May Altar and May Bush on display.

We say our prayer to Mary everyday. We decorated our May Bush with brightly coloured eggs and ribbons.

Last week we learned all about the Sioux people of North America. Using kitchen roll holders we made our own Indians.

During the past few weeks one of our pupils celebrated his birthday. We enjoyed some lovely cake.

Happy Birthday!!!

This week we were learning all about hedgehogs. We made some using clay & matchsticks for their spines. When they had dried we painted them.

We have been discussing our five senses, and have been using one of them quite a bit recently.

First, we used this sense to listen to the story “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Can You Hear?” in storytime.

Then, we played a “Where’s the sound?” game in class. After that, we made some music using empty jam jars (which we know are made of glass) and water…?

 ”Sounds in Action”, indeed, but not what you might think!

Yesterday we waved goodbye to a great friend!  Good luck in your new school.  We miss you!
