We have recently finished our Write-A-Books. They were a great success. We have received books from Scoil Iognáid in Galway City. They are excellent. We are very proud of our success with our books. Some of the books we wrote include “Candy Land” by Ellie in 4th, “The Shannon” by James also in 4th, “Famous Diabetics” by Hannah in 5th, “5 Futuristic Technologies” by Eoghan also in 5th, “Brilliant Brazil” by Ben in 6th and “Tom Daley” by Dervla also in 6th. We displayed them in the hallways for everyone to read during bookweek.
We had a visit from the children’s author Patricia Forde. She writes English and Irish books for younger children. She has written books such as “Frogs do not like Dragons” , “Scoil na bPáistí Deasa” and “Hedgehogs do not like Heights” She told us to describe the situation as much as you can when we write creatively, make people feel empathy for your characters and write down all your lies! Honestly she said you could lie all you like in fiction writing!
We organised a monster book quiz to celebrate Book Week. There were all sorts of questions about books and there was a picture round. We had lots of fun and there were two rounds for younger children so they’d get a chance to partake. The winners were Laura in 6th, Stephen and Patrick in 2nd and Killian in Senior Infants. Congratulations guys!
We devised a project called “Buddy Reading” for the week also. It was to help younger kids expand their reading experience and get them to know the senior pupils a little better. The kids in the senior room buddy up with the younger children. There were awards for kind generous senior buddies during the week.
We always enjoy when some mums and dads come in and read to us and this year Michelle (Ava’s mom) and Anne (Abbie’s mom) came in to read to us. Michelle read “The Famous 5” and Anne read “Wayside School is Falling Down”. They were really kind to give up their time and come in and read to us.
On the last day of Book Week Politician Ciaran Canon came in to officially launch our new website. He unveiled our new website and gave out awards to the people who stood out in Buddy Reading. After he unveiled our new website we went into the halla and played some music. He joined in and played “Fields of Gold” by Sting on the keyboard. It sounded really well with the tin whistles, violins and flute.
Spring has sprung in Senior Infants! We’re looking forward to the rain stopping so we can go on the grass again; it’s been a long time!
In Maths, we learned value of numbers, and play games to find out what numbers are squashed between numbers teacher calls out.
Our Write- a- Books are coming along brilliantly, we are nearly finished them and will have pictures here of the published books next month.
We would like to wish the Ardrahan Senior Camogie team all the very best in the All Ireland in Croke Park on Sunday March the 2nd. We drew pictures and decorated slogans to support the team, we’re all behind you!
Ms. O Doherty is on an EPV day on Friday the 28TH of February.
Happy birthday this month to three girls in our room who all, remarkably have the same birthday- they are Ellie, Béibhinn and Tara. The chair got plenty of spins that day! Ellie and Béibhinn are both six and had a really great birthday party. They got to do magic!
We brought teddy in to school for Art this month. We used our teddies as inspiration to draw an oil pastel portrait. Here are our masterpieces!

Mairead McGuinness MEP visited our school on February 14th, 2014 to view the school environment and assess the impact of recent flooding on our school. She listened to the concerns of our principal, Edel Leech and a local deputation led by Mattie Hallinan. The concerns were
1. Sanitation hazards due to rising water table
2. Risk of flooding in the grounds and building
3. How the newly proposed M18 construction will effect drainage in the school grounds
4. The provision of runoff from the newly constructed road

Hello everyone, welcome to wet February. This month was a busy one. We learned about St. Bridget and spring, Irish legends Oisín and Tir na nÓg, and loud and soft sounds. In Maths, we learned value of numbers, and what’s bigger and smaller than certain numbers. We would like to wish the Ardrahan Senior Camogie team all the very best in the All Ireland in Croke Park on Sunday March the 2nd. We drew pictures and decorated slogans to support the team, we’re all behind you!

In the senior classroom we completed science experiments to do with Carbon Dioxide. The first experiment we undertook was making carbon dioxide gas. We put bicarbonate of soda and vinegar into a plastic bottle. Next we put two straws together to make passage for the gas to pass through. Then we filled a glass with water and put food colouring in the water so we could see the gas in the form of bubbles.
Another experiment we did was to show how a candle needs oxygen to stay alight. So we filled a basin with water until it was about a quarter full. Then we stuck a candle to the bottom of the basin, lit it and then put a glass on top of it. If a candle doesn’t have oxygen, it will quench.
The last experiment we did was making a fire extinguisher. Firstly we put 5 tablespoons of vinegar into a plastic bottle. Next we lit a small candle. Then we poured half a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda in with the vinegar. We needed to cover it very with our hand so that the gas wouldn’t escape. Next we held the bottle sideways above the candle, be we needed to be careful not to pour any of the foamy liquid out of the bottle. Your candle should quench when the gases are released from the bottle.
Every year we have an annual sports day in June. Some of the activities include Egg and spoon race, tug of war, relays, puc fada and Athletic races. We have lots of others as well. Every year we have great fun. All Children from the Montessori to Sixth class participate. There are lots of other games for younger kids like giant Kinect four, piggy back races, hockey and Javelin throw. Everyone is a winner at our sports day. Parents and past pupils are always welcome

February was a very busy month for us in the Middle Room. Here were some of the things we did… Write-A-Book
We are very busy writing our books for the March 1st deadline. We have a serious bunch of authors this year as we are submitting a whopping 26 non-fiction books and only 3 fiction books; ‘Tara’s Time Travel’ -an amazing journey backwards and forwards in time, ‘Out with the Old, In With the New’ and ‘The Adventures of Jack Shaw’ . These two books are both inspired by Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Our non-fiction books range from reports about trips to London, Cork, Cyprus, Dún Guaire Castle in Kinvara, books about cousins in Sweden, grandparents in Australia and Ireland, Kilkee, Clare, buildings around Galway and the wildlife and geography of the Galapagos Islands.
We have books about sports and hobbies; the Olympics, Tai Kwon Do, ballet, cooking with Mum, fishing and Minecraft. We have books about living things and extinct creatures; snakes and dinosaurs and two biographies of famous people, the late Nelson Mandela and Pope Francis. Timmy wrote about his favourite toys, the Smurfs and Luke wrote about farming with some gorgeous photos of his own farm included. Every time we have a finished book from an author the whole room sings “Hallelujah!” – a highlight for every young author here!
Drop Everything And Run!
We tried out an initiative being piloted by a school in Dublin to increase fitness levels among pupils. Like Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) it involves a short burst of focused activity but instead of reading we ran laps around our basket ball court…We think it’s a great idea so we will do it more often!
The Vikings
We completed some group project work on Vikings in History this month. We looked at where they came from, their beliefs, how and why they travelled, the Viking long ship, death and burial in Viking Times and Viking legends. We reported back to class in our groups, presenting the work on charts for display and building replica long ships. We had great fun and now realise what it really meant to go beserk!
Viking Ships
Hockey
In PE we echoed the events of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in Russia with a little yard hockey. It was fun and the days we played it were cold enough to see our breath condense…Olympic dreams!
Holy Communion Preparations
First Communion Special Mass involved Seán, Adam, Adam, Toby, Luke and Paul this time. They had readings and gifts to bring to the altar and showed everyone how ready they are to take the next step in their spiritual journey.
Ardrahan Senior Camogie
Ardrahan Girls Senior Camogie Team have been a big preoccupation here for many of our pupils as the excitement of their All Ireland Final Day draws near. We composed a book of poems, inspired by their achievement in reaching the All Ireland aptly called ‘We’re Blue, We’re White, We’re Dynamite!’ Many of the poems were acrostics about camogie, sliotars and the pitch. Their match, which will be played in Croke Park, on Sunday 2nd of March is against Milford, from Cork.
Irish Dancing
We finished our last lesson of the year with Louise Curran and we thank her so much for all we have learned in such a fun way!
Reading Buddies
We are beginning our preparations for Book Week. We are training the Senior Buddies who will pair and share with our Junior Buddies. We look forward to meeting author Patricia Forde, Jonathon Gunning who will entertain us with storytelling in a humorous way, our Book Fair and reading competitions and activities. We really love Book Week in our school!
