This story is a firm favourite in Junior 3, we love the song too- check it out below!
Caterpillar Update
Our caterpillars have grown very big over the last few days, they are very hungry too! But they don't eat ice-creams like in our story this week of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We sent our caterpillars off on holidays for the week today; we hope that they will start to make their cocoon homes soon; we can't wait for them to turn into 'big beautiful butterflies'.
The Great Junior 3 Bake Off
We had a great afternoon practicing our culinary skills in the classroom; we made chocolate nests with mini-eggs, sampling our delicacies was the best part!... We weren't so keen on the tidy up though
Our first task was to break up the chocolate so it would melt easy in the microwave... some of us tested out the chocolate to make sure it was up to standard!
Next we had to shred our shredded wheat to make it look like straw from a nest... this was so much fun!
Teresa melted the chocolate in the microwave for us... Thanks Teresa!
Then we mixed the melted chocolate in with our shredded wheat!
Then it was time to scoop our mixture into the cupcake cases, this was a messy task and we had to be so careful not to spill any of our precious goods!
Then it was time to decorate our nests with eggs... not real ones though we prefer the chocolate kind!
Let's have an Easter Disco...
Sweet Treats!
There's some chocoholics among us in Junior 3... Why not channel your inner Gordon Ramsay and get baking? Get the whole family involved and happy baking!!
Happy Mid-Term Break Everyone! Michelle, Lisa, Teresa, Stella and Jenna are so proud of the work we have done over the last few weeks at home and in school!

Baboro
For Culture Night in Galway this year, Phillida Eves and her team from Baboro brought their show "Hear Our Voice" to the school. Junior 3 and some friends from Junior 2 had great fun collecting pine cones, making a campfire, lying on blankets listening to music while shadow puppets cavorted above. It was a magical, multisensory experience for all the boys!
