Happy Halloween to everybody in St. Peter’s and the viewers from outside our school worldwide. Everybody in Fourth Class has written a scary story for Halloween. Some were as long as 3 pages. After we finished writing them, some of our stories were recorded on Mr. Foley’s iPad. We used an app on the iPad called “Soundcloud”. Some of the pupils who recorded did it in hilarious and scary voices. Mr. Foley recorded some boys while others were working. Of course when everything was going great Mr. Foley deleted the first two stories by accident! Nine boys recorded their stories.... 

Our very spooky Pumpkin jars! 2nd Class are just so excited for Halloween. We have learned songs, rhymes and poems in Irish and English and we made toffee apples and pumpkin jars. We even had some báirín breac to see who would get married first! Later in the week we will play Halloween games from long ago, bake Halloween topper cupcakes, carve pumpkins and make our trick or treat bags. We are using our English, Gaeilge, Art, Music and History lessons all about Halloween this week! The toffee chocolate apples we made, they were yumm   Here are some of our rhymes and poems!

This week for Maths Week, we decided to search for Maths in our environment. We based it on the ‘Have You Got Maths Eyes’ project – you can read more about it here. Most photos were taken outside of school on phones, tablets and cameras, while a few were taken in the yard. Andy even found a picture in the newspaper and cut it out. Take a look at our photos. Can you answer all of the questions? What kind of shape does the roof seem from this angle? What shape would it be if you were looking at it straight on? – Ben

We’re so excited to show off what we have been doing with our MakeyMakey board. Have  a look to see what 2nd and 5th have invented – a human piano, a banana piano and a PacMan controller that works with the computer even though it is just made by pencil and paper.
