- They eat fish.
- They are very good swimmers and toboggan on their tummy.
- There are 17 different types of penguins.

When we grow up….
We have been talking about different jobs and what we would like to be when we grow up!
We have been working hard on our morning activities based on jobs.
Road Safety.
Yesterday we listened to the SAFE CROSS CODE. We drew pictures based on road safety then.
Maths Week.
The last two weeks in school were Maths Week. We used our Maths Eyes to go on a Halloween Maths trail around the school, played Snap games, Bingo games, played with Halloween jigsaws, ordered numbers 1-10 to make Halloween pictures and we even worked with children in 2nd class to play some really fun Maths games.
Sam Maguire Cup.
We had a surprise visit yesterday in school. We got to see the Sam Maguire cup that Dublin won from the All Ireland Finals.
