​We were very lucky to have a visit from an aer hostess yesterday in class. We learnt lots of interesting facts about flying and life at Dublin airport. We really liked Colette's uniform. We now know aer lingus buys their planes from France. Thank you Colette for giving up your time to come talk to us.

This month we have been learning about clothes in Aistear. We have had lots of fun learning about the different parts of a shoe, looking at clothes we wear in each season, washing and drawing clothes. We had a dress up shop in class which we really enjoyed. ��

We collected lots of different Autumn items for our nature area. Thank you to all who brought in items. We have a great mixture of leaves,  berries, acorns,  grain, conkers and even a baby pumpkin.
