Signs of Spring

On Wednesday 23/1/13, Aaron went around the school grounds looking for signs that Spring is on its way. He and the other children will record their findings on the blog as well as on the www.greenwave.ie website. The website is where schools all around Ireland can show the coming of Spring. We are looking at the temperature, the ash and horse chestnut trees and frog spawn.

Aaron asked Mary about signs of Spring.

It was 0 degrees in St Catherine's.

The snowdrop is the first flower we see in Spring.

Our bulbs are starting to grow.

Happy Christmas

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday. Before the holidays we made a picture of the town of Bethlehem.

Aaron's Stories

Aaron has written two stories and he hopes you like them.

Once upon a time there was a boy. His name was Jack. His eyes were brown. His hair was black. He lived in Rush.He was 8. He lived in a big house. He loved football. One day Jack went to play in Reece's house. Jack's dad brought Jack to Reece's house. Reece and Jack played untill 5.00. Jack's dad fell and broke his foot. He said 'I will be on crutches for 6 weeks'. 'Oh no' said Jack. He was sad. He went to play football. He got €2. He ran to the shop.
Friday his mammy got a new car. 'It is cool' said Jack. One day Jack saw Aaron. Jack's mammy brought Jack to Aaron's house. When Jack went in to play, Aaron went in too. Jack went to play with his friends. He went to the woods and a bear ate Jack.

A SPOOKY STORY

Once upon a time there was a boy who lived in Rush. His name was Lee. His eyes were brown. He was as tall as a car. He thought he was cool.

One day Lee drove to the shop. He went to his house to get ready for football. He broke his foot. 'Oh no' said Jack,

One day he went to the woods. The wolfman jumped out of a bush. 'Aaaaaa' said Lee. The wolfman ate Lee. Jack went to look for Lee. The wolfman ate Jack too.

Aaron’s Poem

I am a man

I have a van

I have a bear

And he has no hair

We are working in the garden. Mary gave us a plot to use. 

Jonathan worked hard spreading the compost. 

In the room we planted mustard and cress seeds.
