Ms McDonnell's 3rd class painted lovely pizza slices on paper plates for Valentine's Day art today. The children stuck on red love hearts onto the pizza slices and captioned it 'You stole a pizza my heart'.

At 10 am on February 10th we did 10 minutes of exercise as part of Operation Transformation's plan to get young people moving! We really enjoyed it!

On Thursday February 9th we went to Clondalkin Library. In class we are doing the library in aistear so it was great to see a library in action. We met Clara the librarian who told us all about the library, how we can become members and showed us where to find books for our age. Tegan brought her library card so we were able to see how to borrow books on the self service machine. We had a great time!

See how easy it is to do 10 minutes of exercise a day, even at your desk!

Last week we celebrated our 100th day of school. Congratulations to all the children who earned their full attendance certificates. Well done!
