Science Week In Scoil Mhuire!!
4th class ran some exciting experiments last week with the junior classes. From exploding volcanos to relaxing lava lamps, we had a blast!
The Lunchtime book club is back!
Our lunchtime book club has resumed on Wednesdays and we couldn’t “bee” happier to be back! A warm welcome to our new members from Third Class and a cheerful welcome back to our returning book lovers.
In September, we had a fun vote to choose the name for our club this year, and the winning choice was “The Book-Loving Bumble Bees.” To celebrate, we let Chat GPT design our very own bee-themed mascot, and we think it’s absolutely adorable! Now, our hive is all abuzz with excitement for the reading adventures ahead.
🐝 Buzzing Into New Stories
This October, our busy bees dived into Grimwood: Five Freakishly Funny Fables by Nadia Shireen. The story follows fox siblings Ted and Nancy, who flee the city for the woods — only to discover it’s full of weird and wonderful animals. We watched a video of the author and illustrator herself talking about her quirky characters, and even took part in a draw-along of the adorable Ted. It was a hive of creativity and fun!
November’s Nectar of New Reads
For November, we’ve started Mary’s Hair by Eoin Colfer — a short and funny story about a little girl who decides to cut her own hair! After that, we’ll be listening to the audiobook of This Morning I Met a Whale by Michael Morpurgo, a beautiful story about a young boy named Michael who discovers a talking whale in the River Thames. The whale asks Michael to deliver a powerful message to the world about protecting our planet — a theme that’s sure to get us all thinking.
It’s shaping up to be another ‘bee-lightful’ month of reading, friendship, and fun discussions and activities. Just like last year, we’ll also be making some submissions to Moycullen Matters magazine, giving our Book-Loving Bumble Bees their first taste of being published writers — how exciting! Everyone from Third to Sixth Class is welcome to join — just pop into Room 14 and the hive will welcome you! 🐝📚
Happy reading,
Mrs E Walsh
Ms Bohan’s class potion making!
