We have been so well behaved and working so hard lately that our teacher brought us outside to blow bubbles! Look at the fun we had!

6th had an amazing end to this part of Term 2! Since Christmas we’ve been on a real rollercoaster, enjoying days out, hard work, staring on the TV (!), projects… the works! Here is what we got up to recently.
Our big news is that we were on the TV… but more about that later!
We also had an amazing Engineer’s Week, again – more about that later! Both of these pieces of news deserve their own post!
We got our January certs!
Well done to the 6th Classers with Perfect Attendance and Perfect Homework in January! Great job! #schoolspirit pic.twitter.com/yv2yNZbuwV

Junior and Senior Infants have been learning about the post office during Aistear. We have been learning what our address is, we have been learning that we put our address on letters and parcels that you send off in the post. We have been learning what stamps are too.
We had a very exciting visit from Trevor the postman last week. We asked him loads of questions like “where do you get the letters?” Trevor told us that another postman collects the letters and sends them to Dublin. The people in Dublin send them back to Bray and Trevor delivers them!
We asked them what happens if you forget to put stamps on your letter and Trevor said that you must put your own address on the back of your letter. Then the people in Dublin send it back to your house so you can put stamps on!
Chloe told us her dad is a postman too and she even gets to go on the back of his bike!
Thanks a million to Trevor for coming in and sharing all his knowledge with us!

We love to use Vine in 6th Class. It’s a snapshot of our day, a window into our classroom! It’s a lovely way to capture the energy and enjoyment in our school day. Vine is like a moving photograph! Check out some of our most recent Vines!

This is our ‘Thank You’ video to Bernard. Bernard sent us a HUGE box of Lego in the post!
This is our most recent Art lesson! We made teepees as a follow on to our Native Americans history study.

Last week, 2nd class welcomed Baby M back to the school after the Christmas break and we couldn’t believe how much she has grown. Jerry noticed that she got taller and Leon noticed that she has even more hair.
Our theme at the moment is sleep. We’re learning about active sleep, deep sleep, transitions and REM. We were talking about dreams and nightmares. We all shared something with the group. Ms Whyte told us that Baby M sleeps very well. We all got a chance to talk to Baby M and to play with her. Arpit noticed that she was really interested in us and she was looking at us more than she did the last day!
Maddy rolled the ball to Baby M and we noticed that she was trying to bite it. Adam remembers that Baby M was trying to bite the doll’s head. Lana remembers that we learned that babies need more sleep so that they can have more time to grow. Nathan’s sister is going to have a little baby soon so he’ll have to get as much sleep now as he can!
Here are some photos from our visit from Baby M – we’re really looking forward to her next one!
Check out our Vine – she liked our singing so she started rocking back and forth!
Here’s our Animoto of our photos from Baby M’s visit. We can’t wait to see her again soon!

Hello people of the internet!
In Fourth Class we have been doing our Write a Book project recently. First we had to plan out the plot. Then we had to write it out chapter by chapter. We did six chapters each. After each chapter was written we passed out the copies and everybody got to read a random story. We wrote a comment on each story. When we had it finished we typed it out. We also illustrated two pictures for inside the story and the front cover.
We have also been doing long multiplication and division. We’re just finishing division now. We have been playing Maths games to see if we know our tables well.
We have also been putting out bird seed for the birds in Science.
In History we have been learning about the Vikings. We have been learning about Norway because it was one of the countries that the Vikings were from. There were 3 countries that the Vikings were from, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. All those mixed together are called Scandinavia. They found America 500 years before Christopher Columbus. They went to Greenland because Erik the Red lied to them! We also learned about how an excavation found Viking facts in Dublin.
We all went to a Gaelic tournament in Loughlinstown. The boys went last week and the girls went this week. The girls won and Aoife scored a hat-trick!
We have recently been doing cursive writing as part of our stations.
Thanks for reading our blog post. There will be more to come!
From Fourth Class
Written by Finn, Dylan, Abbie, Lex, Szymon, James, Adam H, and Christopher
