Fionn MacCumhaill and The Salmon of Knowledge
Fourth Class have been learning about Fionn MacCumhaill and The Salmon of Knowledge in History. In our Art lesson we made our own Salmon and are now full of knowledge! We used celery to print the scales onto our fish.
Staying safe on the roads
We had a visit from the Road Safety Authority in October. We learned a lot from Caitríona about how to keep safe while walking, cycling and while travelling in our cars.
