May has been an eventful month for the boys in Room 8. There was much excitement when Noel began cycling classes with the boys. The excitement grew as Corey and Alex M got on a bike for the very first time.

Sinead from Junior Achievement finished up with the class this month. The boys were taught all about starting up a business which stirred the creativity of the 3rd and 4th class boys. They received certificates to mark the tremendous work they had  done throughout the weeks.

Yesterday, the boys of Room 8 enjoyed the sunshine with ice-creams in Fairview park.

It has been a very busy start to a new term in 3rd and 4th class.

Last week the boys worked collaboratively to create amazing  dramas based on well-known stories. After careful planning, writing scripts and planning props, the boys put on an amazing show within the class. Dramas included scripts based upon the stories of ‘Tír na nÓg’, ‘Cú Chualainn’, ‘Charlotte’s Web’, and ‘The Three Little Pigs’

On Monday, the boys were given a fantastic opportunity to attend the workshop ‘Fighting Words’. Set up with the assistance of Roddy Doyle, a favourite author of the Joey boys, the workshop allowed the boys to display their unique creativity and imagination. With the help of real-life authors and illustrators the boys got to publish their own books.

The story entitled ‘The Toe attack’ is a definite must read. Click on the link below to read it online.

Also a very Happy Birthday to Cameron who got a lovely singing to during the workshop.

On Wednesday, the boys in Room 8 (3rd and 4th class) took it upon themselves to clean and tidy the school environment.

As a green school, the Joey boys work hard to improve our school environment, keep it litter free and recycle our waste.

With gloves, bin bags, shovels and yard brushes, we swept, shovelled and picked up waste around the school entrance. It was a lot of work but thanks to the boys in Room 8, the school environment is extremely clean and looking fantastic.

With Halloween fast approaching, The National Botanic Gardens, located in Glasnevin, held a fantastic Halloween themed competition. Children were asked to design imaginative and creative designs for pumpkins. All entries are now on display in The Teak House for all to see.

After exploring parts of the gardens, the boys had the opportunity to look at the display of pumpkins. The unique designs caught all the Joeys boys’ attention and interest. Some of the favourites included minion, spider-man, pokemon and mad-hatter inspired  pumpkins.

There was also a harvest display comprising of a stunning array of pumpkins, gourds, giant Gortahork cabbages, and a variety of unusual seasonal fruits and vegetables. All of which were produced in the gardens.

With time to spare we ventured through the gardens. Highlights included The Viking House, the hawthorn tree, the fountain, the beehive and the enlarged Chimes!! Let me not forget, the excitement every time we spotted a squirrel (10+ times). Some boys said it was the first they had ever seen one!

We ended our wonderful tour in the green houses with plants so large, the boys thought they were on the set of Jurrasic Park!

Make sure to look through the photos!!!
