Making Candyfloss in the class By Mina




On Friday last week we made candyfloss. We made this in our class. The first thing we did was, taking the machine out of the box. Then we added a full spoon of sugar. After that, we have to wait a very long time. Then we saw spider webs coming out of the machine. We rolled a stick inside the machine to collect the candyfloss. It was really fun to make it and it was so yummy.

My Shiny Teeth By EWC 1






I have to brush my teeth each morning and night 
because I want them shiny and white.
maybe one day 
the tooth fairy will pay. 

by Nikhil 


I like to Smile wide 
so my mouth has to be clean  inside. 
My teeth are  white 
Because I clean them day and night. 
 I must clean my teeth right
 To keep them bright. 
When you brush
  you should not rush.
By Julia

Shiny Teeth by EWC 1


I clean my teeth every morning and night,
 because I want my teeth to look right. 
It is not good to waste
 expensive   tooth paste. 
I want my teeth to be clean 
so that I will look like a queen 
by Katy   



My teeth are the best you have seen
because every morning I clean
I take a big bite 
with my teeth so white.

Physio with Orla by Katy


Last week Thursday Orla, our fitness instructor came to visit our class. It was a nice day. We started doing warm ups. Then we stood along a line and started  hopping. We also did jumping and running. Walking along a line was bit hard for me to do. But we all took part in every exercise and had lots of fun.  IMG_0968.JPG

On last week Thursday 30 July, Orla came to visit us. It was a sunny day. We all went outside to start our program. We started with warm ups. First thing she wanted us to do was ‘’hopping’’. That was not too bad then we had to jump. It was bit hard but we all had to take part. last thing was walking along a straight line. Some of us needed Orla’s help but I could do it without her help. We all had a good fun.

Learning about Pie graphs by EW1


We are learning about statistics this term.  We use statistics to find information.
Today we wanted to know what our favourite colours were.
We decided on a Pie graph.  Each student and staff were allowed first, second and third choices. 
This is what the end product looked like and it seems Blue was the favourite colour.
