This week we learned all about the penguins living in Antarctica. We painted our own penguins using short brush strokes to create a feathered look.

For the month of January we are learning about Antarctica. We are learning about its climate and the animals that live there. This week we focused on the blue whale. We  painted our own blue whales and wrote about them.

We had a very special visitor all the way from the North Pole. He told us he has his bags of toys ready and that he’d  heard wonderful things about all the boys in Prefab 9.

After weeks of practise the boys put on a fantastic performance in the church today. They sang and looked like angels.

We learned about the northern lights. Using chalk pastels we created our own aurora borealis.

Blasting into space with our rockets this week. The boys used card, lollipop sticks, pom poms and buttons to make stunning colourful rockets.

This month we are learning about the moon and space. We used chalk pastels and oil pastels to create our own aliens in space. We took inspiration from the book Aliens Love Underpants.

We had a creative morning in Cabra Library enjoying Sprouting Scenes.

We had an exciting day today. The Lord Mayor of Dublin James Geoghegan came to visit us. We presented him with a beautiful piece of art and  sang him a song.

We constructed  haunted houses out of boxes, card and paper. They were terrifyingly good.
