Sponsored Walk
Last Thursday (12th of May), all of the staff and students from St. Anne's partook in a Sponsored Walk along the canal. We left the school at 9:30 and followed the walking route past the Ardclough Village Centre, over the bridge, down the canal and into the Cliff at Lyons where we got some water and fruit. We took a few minutes to rest and eat our snack before heading back to the school. We met lots of people on our trip, including a Guard and some helpers who made sure we were s...

Tree Planting
Before Easter, our friend and local Heritage in School specialist, Paddy, came to our school to teach us about our school garden and to help us plant some new trees around our school. Paddy taught us about wind direction and how the new trees we are planting will help to shelter our yard from bitter Winter winds in years to come.
Paddy showed us how to make a T-notch in the lawn and then Millie and Noah gently lowered o...

Using our weighing sc...

At the beginning of the month, we went on a Weather Hunt in search of signs of Winter. We found frosty grass and icy leaves. We watched as the sun melted the frost right in front of our eyes! It was great fun!
After watching the frost melt, we wondered if we could do something to keep the fun frost ar...

Christmas Village
December 2021
This Christmas we decided to create a Christmas village as our Christmas project.
In order to stick to our pods, we decided that the safest plan would be to create 5 different areas which could then be brought together at the end.
Linking in with our maths lesson looking at shapes that tessellate, we decided to use hexagons as they would fit nicely together.
The first job was to come up with an overall design that worke...
