Mean Old Witch

I’m a mean old witch with a hat!

And I ride on a broom with my cat!

And my shoes are pointed,

And my chin is too,

And you better watch out,

Cause I might Scare you!

I’m a mean old witch with a hat!

The boys and girls in room 2 have made some spoooktacular  witches this week. They were busy painting green faces and black hats before they drew on their own witch’s eyes and pointy noses. We read and acted out the poem “Mean Old Witch”. I heard lots of cackles eeeheheehe eeeheheehe 

We were busy with our “froggy fingers” colouring and cutting out pumpkins. Sometimes the scissors can be tricky to hold and to cut things out but we are getting much better!! 🙂 

Junior Infants will also be performing at their first assembly this week. They have learned a lovely song about an cailleach agus an púca ag ithe úll beag buí!! We can’t wait to sing all of our songs and poems!!

Room 2 were busy little scientists this week as they were learning all about the eye!

We played eye-spy, we looked for objects around the classroom and we learned about the pupil, the iris and our eyelashes. The pupil lets the light in and out, the iris makes our eyes blue or green or brown and our eyelashes keep all of the dust out of our eyes! We also investigated how the pupil can change size by looking at the light and looking away from the light – this was the fun part as we could see the pupil getting bigger and smaller!! We labelled our eye diagrams, we drew on our own eyelashes and we coloured our eyes the correct colour.

That’s all for now, but keep your eyes peeled for more fascinating experiments from our budding scientists in Room 2!!
