This week, we listened to the story ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ by Giles Andreae. This book was full of lots of short rhymes that told us about all of the creatures that live in the sea! 🐟 🐬 Senior Infants taught their teacher about sea creatures!🐠 🐠 Some children wrote about the shark, one wrote a story about a crab named Buttercup.

Please send us pictures of some of your work through your teacher on Dojo and we’ll feature some of them next week in our Virtual Gallery! Line is one of the elements of Visual Arts – a line is basically a dot that has gone for a walk so for your warm up, we’d like you to take your pencil for a walk! You can colour it...
