Our e-books

We have six new tablets in our school. We have been making e-books with them. We are writing about animals. We all got to choose our own animal. Most of us are working in pairs. The website we are using is https://www.writereader.com/en. First we chose what animal we wanted to write about. We had to know a bit about the animal. Then we made a front cover. We chose a picture, then we wrote our names and the title. Next we wrote a classification, then we wrote a description, after that we wrote dynamics. Finally we wrote a summarizing comment. We needed to put a picture on each page. They are not finished yet. When they are we will share them on the blog.

The Dublin team came to visit Scoil Mhuire. They brought a big trophy called the Sam Maguire. A player from the under 21 team came as well and he brought another trophy they had won. 

This month we learned about Antarctica and Emperor Penguins. We read about Emperor Penguins. We wrote reports about Emperor Penguins. We learned a song about penguins. We made pictures of penguins. We drew chalk pictures of Antarctica. We read a book calledThe Penguin who Wanted to Find out. We made clay figures of penguins and painted them. 

Fun fact about Emperor Penguins: They can hold their breath for 30 minutes under water!
