Easter Rising 1916 Centenary Programme

As part of the Easter Rising centenary programme for 2016, we were lucky to be visited by members of the Irish Defence force today. They presented us with a new tricolour flag and also a copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Republic. To prepare for this visit we learned and sang Amhran na bhFiann, which Room 22 sang beautifully today! Check out the pictures below of the Irish Defence force talking to the whole school! 

It's starting to feel a bit spooky around Room 22...

We created our spooky owls in trees using white and black paint and pastels. Watch out for some more scary art in the next few weeks...

Reading Eggs

Every Thursday morning at computer time, we have the opportunity to work on Reading Eggs. Reading Eggs is an online program which  makes learning to read fun through games, songs and earning golden eggs.

The children all have their login details at the back of their homework notebooks so please encourage your child to continue with Reading Eggs at home!

Here are some pictures of how engaged the children are with the program!
