It has been a mixed bag weather wise this week, but Rang 2 made the best of the beautiful weather at every opportunity. We took off to Linear park for lunch on Thursday . We made skipping videos to show the younger children how to skip .
We also demonstrated rounders to Rang 1 and they loved it . Rang 2 are very good teachers!
We have been collecting items for our bug hotels and cannot wait to make them.
Rang 2 have also been learning about older people and as part of homework they asked an older person in their families to tell an interesting story from their lives. We have learned that Iris's Great Granny raised and educated 5 children on her own. Arlo's Great Great Granny's house was hit by bombs twice and she survived. Arthur's Great Grandad was the engineer for the famous Dublin Pigeon Towers, Matthias Granny had a close call with a herd of Cape Buffalo in Zambia and Zimbabwe. That Ethan's Great Grandad was captured by the Germans but heroically escaped. That Freddies's Great Grandfather was a station master in Dundalk in 1922 and played his part in assisting the rebellion against the Black and Tans.
What exciting lives they have lived.
Have a great weekend.
