St. Andrew's National School

3rd class had great fun planting flowers in our school garden. Everyone helped out and enjoyed getting their hands a bit messy! It’s lovely to see how much the garden has brightened up already with all the new colours. Whilst one half of 3rd class were busy gardening, the other half became budding zoologists, botanists and entomologists, using their trusty magnifier hand-held lenses. With these simple devices the class were able to marvel at animal, plant and insect life ten

This week we had a very special visitor come to our classroom...a lamb! At first, we sat and listened carefully while we learned lots of interesting facts about lambs. The lamb was calm and curious.

Its wool was so soft, and everyone made sure to be quiet and careful so we didn’t scare it. We had lots of fun!
