Potato Day

Thursday, October 4th, was Potato Day in our school.
To celebrate the day, we did lots of potato prints and then had some yummy potato to eat.





For the printing, the potatoes were cut in half and then shapes were cut into each half.
We did two pages each, one light and one dark.




We used lots of different colours and made many pretty patterns with the potato shapes.











When we had finished doing our prints, we ate some delicious potato cakes :-)









We really enjoyed Potato Day, it was great fun :-)

Google Hangout

We took part in our first Google Hangout today!

The Hangout was part of the national launch of Children’s Book Festival 2012. It was a Monster Doodle Party with Laureate na nÓg, Niamh Sharkey, South Dublin Libraries and Children’s Books Ireland.




Niamh was in the County Library Tallaght and we could see her on our Interactive Whiteboard.






She showed us how to draw, we copied her and were delighted with our results!

















We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Niamh, Maria, Nessa, Kieran and everyone involved in organising the Google Hangout. We enjoyed every minute of it and were delighted to be involved :-)
