1st Class – Caherleaheen National School

First Day for First Class.

03/09/2017 Mary C 1st Class

Ms Ann welcomed first class back. They had lots of news, having enjoyed a great summer. They got straight down to work/fun, exploring the properties of tens and making number stories with manipulatives.

Spring has sprung some chicks!

They are adorable! We all got to rub their soft fluffy down. It was a long wait for ‘Joey’. Chick 2 arrived two days later, at ‘sos beag’. The teachers were more excited than we were, nearly!. Ms Mary calls Chick 2 ‘Goldie’. But Ms Noelle says it’s a democratic decision. We will call her ‘Tiny’. We can’t wait for tomorrow.

Hello Joey!

Joey is waiting for the others to hatch…..

Here’s ‘Tiny’, exhausted after battling her eggshell.

Joey meets ‘Tiny’…

Six chicks, by Friday! We are thrilled. What a lovely surprise, on our last day before Easter hols.

All of First Class are invited to pop in this Sunday to count the chicks and say ‘Goodbye’ before the go to their new home. School doors will be open between 11.30 and 12noon. Siblings and parents welcome too!

Our Easter Chicks.

Mr Liam gave us an incubator filled with eggs. They ‘are due’ this week!!! What will we do, if they hatch during the hols?. We gently turn them every day two times. Ms Noelle thinks the names we are thinking of for our Easter Chicks are perfect. But we haven’t fully decided yet, until EACH ONE hatches…..
