The bloodmoon lunar eclipse

Here are a few photos that teacher took during the eclipse.

 The best time to have watched it was between 2am and 4am on Monday morning.

No wonder we were so tired yesterday!

Here's a YouTube time lapse video of the lunar eclipse.

Autumn leaves and seeds

We have lots of ash leaves with their helicopter seeds, and some ask twigs with their black buds.

We also have horse chestnut chestnuts and conkers.

Our local environment: The seashore

We went for a walk to Ballyloughane beach.

There were lots of interesting houses, signs and things of interest along the way.

We paired up with Ms. Cunningham's class and had a partner we have never had before.

On the beach each pair had a plastic container which we filled with lots of interesting things.

We found lots of things that belong on the seashore like shells, crabs, seaweed and stones.

We also found things that don't belong on the beach like a necklace, a hat, a sock, a golf ball, a large ball, a piece of plastic and a lock.

Have a look at all that we found.
