We were lucky to go the library on Tuesday 22nd of January. We had a great time. We firstly got an overview of the library and its services. Then we listened to two stories read by the librarian. They were very funny. For one of the stories we got to dance. Afterwards we headed downstairs and explored the children's section. We learned we could borrow up to 12 items for 3 weeks. Some of us became new members and were able to borrow books.
Yesterday 2nd class went on tour. We went to LETS GO CAMP. First we went on the inflatables. It was so much fun. Then it was time for lunch and then we went on the BIG BALLS. After that we went to the disco inflatable. There was a quick hunt. It was time to go home and on the way home we had a shop stop. By Aoibhínn 2nd Class We went to Graune Pet Farm in Ballyhaunis for our tour. We there by bus. It took us one hour and ten minutes to get there. When we arrived we went to a room to our bags in it. We then got to play in the play area on slides and a tube slide. After that we went to the petting area. We saw kittens and cats puppies and dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hens, peacock, a rat, a snake, turtles, a ferret, an eagle owl, a parrot, a turkey. We then went on the farm walk after. We got to feed the goats and the lama. We saw chickens, ducks, geese, hens. We saw a one day old baby lama, donkeys, pigs, emus, Shetland ponies, a sheep with curly horns, alpacas and a deer. We then got to play on the bouncing castle and bouncing slide and went on a bumpy tube slide. We had lunch at 12.20pm. We had sausages, chips and chicken nuggets. After lunch we went to the playground. There were ziplines, tyre swings, a big sand pit with cars. Finally we went to the shop. It was a very fun day.
Here is our video of our trip to the woods. Enjoy.
Belleek Woods Walk 2015 from Culleens NS on Vimeo. We had a great day in Belleek Woods today. We met Niamh Hennessy from Coillte and Cyril Collins from Ballina. Niamh showed us the different types of trees in Belleek Woods and Cyril showed us the squirrel feeding box. Some of us saw a squirrel at the top of a tree. We saw a squirrel's home which is called a drey. We also planted some trees. When we got back from the classroom, Niamh Hennessy gave us a Coillte goody bag with a pen and pecil. We also got some trees for our school. Thank you Coillte. Here are some pictures from today. We will get a video up later. The Red SquirrelWe only have red squirrels in Belleek. The red squirrel has soft fur. It is light brown. His tail is as long as his body. It keeps him warm and helps him jump from tree to tree. The squirrels' home is called a drey. He makes his drey in the top of a tall tree. It is made of twigs, moss and leaves. The baby squirrels are born in spring. In autumn the squirrel gathers nuts and hides them. Sometimes he forgets where he has hidden the nuts. The squirrel sleeps for most of the winter. Sometimes he wakes up to eat. Have a look at these videos to learn more about the red squirrel.
