Night-time visitor

Look at this gorgeous photo of a hedgehog! Lucy, Rebekah and Tadhg found her last weekend. This is what they had to say:

"Look what came into our backyard last weekend, a hedgehog! To our surprise she shuffled in and curled up into a protective ball when our dog went near her and when our outside lights came on. Eventually after an hour or so she scurried off....hopefully to hibernate for the Winter ahead." Lucy, Rebekah and Tadhg Clavin

Siobhán's batty new friend!

Siobhán from room 18 brought in a baby bat for us to see.  Her Daddy found it.  Have a read at what she had to say:




I brought a baby bat to school today to show my friends in Room 18 and my Teacher Ms. O Hare.  My Daddy caught him.  We placed him in an old plastic container with holes in it so that he could breathe.  I brought him around the school to show him to the teachers and students. Some people thought he was cool and cute, others thought he was freaky.  After school I let him go free.

By Siobhan N. 3rd Class. Room 18.


Here is a picture of a bat.  Siobhán found out loads of interesting information on bats too.  Here are some batty facts for you:

(a) Bats can be as large as a small dog or as small as a bumblebee.. 
(b)  Bats can live up to 30 years.
(c) There are more than 1.000 bat species around the world.
(d) Bats come from two different groups - mega-bats and micro-bats.
(e) Bats are not likely to attack people or pets - PHEW!!!!!
