Rang a dó – March 2012
We have carried out lots of measuring tasks this month, and used metre sticks, string, links and rulers to help us.
We made 2D and 3D shapes using raisins and toothpicks – the children really enjoyed this task and made some really interesting shapes!
We use the interactive whiteboard to help us understand money and change activities.

World book day
What a wonderful success World book day was. The children brightened up Robertstown that morning walking from the village to the school dressed as their favourite character from their favourite book! Anybody passing Robertstown that morning must have thought they had landed in a magical world filled with fairies, witches, incredible hulks, not to mention Harry Potter and a book eating boy! Take a look at some of the fabulous photos! A big thank you to the parents association for their help organising the event.

Green School’s Project!
Next Thursday March 14th Robertstown NS will be taking part in an exciting project called ‘Keeping it Green!’ just in time for St.Patrick’s Day. We are very lucky to be given the oppurtunity to work with local artist Beth Murphy who will visit our school for the day and work with 4th, 5th and 6th Class to build a beautiful dome structure out of willow. The structure will be placed at the front of the school for all the community to enjoy and this project will help towards receiving our 5th Green School’s flag for Biodiversity. For more information on the work that Beth does please visit her website. http://www.willowwonder.net
