On Monday the 20th of February, Jennifer and Ausra came to talk to us about architecture. They talked to us about the past, present and future of architecture. Later they gave us cardboard boxes and asked us to draw a building for the future. It was really fun and we all enjoyed it.

They have captured another trophy, this time from St. Boniface’s R C College in England.
Well done to all !
There was great excitement in the Ballinamere camp when both the Junior and senior team came first in the Credit Union Quiz! Congratulations to the children on both teams on a magnificent performance. The Senior Team will now travel to Navan on the 10th of March to compete in the next round. We wish them every success.
Below is a video of one of the children making a St. Brigid’s Cross.
It may take some time to load.
On February the first, fifth class made crosses out of rushes.
Have a look at some of our pictures!
We sowed cress seeds last Thursday in egg cartons with cotton wool and a little water. We put newspaper over them and left them in the dark store room. This is what they looked like:
Today, four days later, this is what they look like:
We are going to put our cress out on the window tomorrow so we are looking forward to lovely, crunchy cress in our salad sandwiches next week!
Junior Infants have put the sheep out to graze…..but fear not - They put up a good wooden fence, so they won’t be following anyone to school!
