Yesterday we went to Scarriff library. We were listening to Wayne O Connor. He was talking to us about David Walliams. He also told us two stories, one was about when he was small when he was going to school. That story was very funny. Then he told us a story called Grizenda. Grizenda was about a girl who attended a posh school for children with extremely wealthy parents but she wasnt posh at all. She played tricks on the posh people. It was really funny. We got certificates afterwards for reading books.

 

Today is National Tree Day 🌲. We went out to look at trees and identify them. We looked at beech trees, ash trees, willow trees, oak trees, and hawthorne trees. We will be planting seeds as well

Today  Aine brought in 2 old saucers and a silver spoon from her nanas press.  The saucers were made in England for our Artefact class’s . One was manufactured in 1884 and the other was manufactured in 1847 They both have designs on them , one has a house and a castle on top and a horse carriage the other has a castle and a man on a lake catching fish on a boat . The spoon is rusty and it made of chrome . We had look at all of them the .These saucers are very rarely used today .
