Welcome back to school after our two days off for Hurricane Ophelia! After learning a little bit about hurricanes and looking at some of the effects of Hurricane Ophelia in Ireland, Ms. Keane showed the children something very mysterious that ended up in her garden after the storm...
Who could own this? How did it get into the garden?
We had a look inside to figure out who might own the suitcase. We found lots of clues. There was a magic hat, a cloak, a hairbrush with green hair stuck in it, dark purple lipstick, magic pink powder, a candle, a sewing kit, a toothbrush and sunglasses. We discussed all of the items a decided that a witch must own the bag! We created pictures of what we thought Gilly the witch might look like. Later on the Juniors told and illustrated stories about how the suitcase ended up in the garden, and Seniors did some creative writing with Mr. Murphy about Gilly too!
