We also read the book “Up up and away “and afterwards discussed holidays that the children have gone on.In History we looked at how beach holidays have changed with the passing of time and also looked at how transport methods have also changed .In geography we looked at the life of people in Spain & how their lives differ from ours.

Junk art saw the creation of various holiday items & children could be seen leaving the classroom with their home made suitcases!! In the sand area the children were busy searching for shells & other items in the sand . This month has really put us in holiday mode !! Aistear May...
