We have been overwhelmed by the positive responses to our project ideas. Boys and girls, together with their families, have been using their time at home to explore the natural world. They have documented their discoveries and shared their stories with us here at school. Indeed, we were thrilled to learn that extended families from far away got involved. Some of Ms O'Connor's family in Donegal decided to share in our fun. They very kindly sent us these pictures with some information on the wildlife in their back garden. We love that they even included their wonderful cat, who has a most intriguing name. Perhaps some of our families in Huntstown might like to compare the birds found in Dublin 15 to those found in Donegal. We learn so much when we open our worlds to other people. We often find that we have lots in common with our friends, neighbours and families who might live in different counties. We can also learn about the things that make each place unique. In Huntstown there are lots of roads and streets named after pheasants, such as 'Pheasants Run'. Yet very few of our boys and girls have ever seen a pheasant up close like the one in the pictures above. What wildlife might be found in Huntstown that might surprise our friends in Donegal? Maybe someone might take a photograph and share it with us: [email protected]
