The boys all wrote down their thoughts on 'Why I Love My Grandparents', and we displayed them on our specially constructed art piece for the big event.
Colm's piece reads, 'They let me camp outside their house...!' Ethan De Mesa's says, 'They let me play basketball in the house..!' And Alex G. tenderly writes, 'They give me love..!'
On Friday two lost T-Rex dinosaurs wandered into our classroom. They were so terrified when they saw all our ghouls, ninjas, wizards, zombies, and superheroes! They left at speed!!
We think Luka's hungry caterpillar was so greedy that he ate Ms. O Dea's lunch that day! Luka is one of our very talented artists...he's definitely one to watch!
The boys were delighted when they found their favourite Pokemon .... Yes!! Pikachu was in our classroom on Friday 25th of October, 2024...."Gotta catch 'em all!!"
Ethan is so proud of his Grandad's sporting medals, and guess what....he won them all as a past pupil in St. Mary's Boys' School when he was a little boy.
It was such a delight to meet so many grandparents on the day. We sang our songs, we gave them a lesson in Irish, (Oíche Shamhna), on the Interactive Screen, we asked them questions about their own experiences and memories of school. We all agreed that school nowadays is a much different, and possibly happier place for children!
