THE LILY CLASS
Welcome to the Lily class.
We are all working on our Junior Cert Level 1 in Communication and Language, Mathematics, Being part of the community, Physical Education, Personal care and wellbeing and the Arts.
We have been very busy. We have explored the themes of Autum, All about myself and my school. We are currently getting ready for Halloween. In Personal care and well-being, we have explored personal hygiene, staying healthy and feelings.
Music makes us all very happy in class and we love listening to music, dancing, and playing percussion instruments. We have enjoyed Music with Niamh and love experimenting with the various instruments. We particularly enjoy the keyboard and the drums. We have worked on some beautiful Art creations in collage using fabric and fibre. We enjoyed painting leaves and creating pictures with leaves and flowers. We also liked smelling the various herbs such as lavender, mint, basil, and rosemary. Kerry our Art teacher helped us to make autumn leaf-stained glass pictures and we made scary monsters using clay for Halloween.
We are a very active class and love PE in the hall. We love playing basketball. We also resumed our visits to TUS for activities on a Monday afternoon. This is a lovely outing for the whole class. We go out to play in the basketball court every day at break or lunch which is fun for everyone. We are fantastic cyclists and love the trikes in the court. When the weather is nice, we love going for a walk and visiting the sensory garden.
We enjoy baking with Vera every Wednesday morning and thoroughly enjoy measuring and mixing the ingredients. We have made banana buns, lemon drizzle cake, scones, flapjacks, biscuit cake and Frankenstein rice crispy squares.
We are looking forward to dressing up for Halloween and will have a party in school to celebrate.
