Second Class are proud to be Irish

26/2/2015

This week we are learning Ireland's Call and Amhráin na bhFiann.
COME ON THE BOYS IN GREEN

Ireland's Call
Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country’s call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Chorus
Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We’ll answer Ireland’s call

From the mighty Glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick
And Dublin Bay
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Chorus

Hearts of steel
And heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until
We can fight no more
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Amhrán na bhfiann
Sinne Fianna Fáil

A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,

buion dár slua

Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,

Fé mhóid bheith saor.

Sean tír ár sinsir feasta

Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil

Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,

Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil

Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar

Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann

This week we are looking at insects and we decided to focus on the ant. Did you know that ants can live up to ten years?
An individual ant cannot survive without its colony.
Ants have lived on the Earth for more than 100 million years.
Ants are related to wasps.
Ants live in organized communities called colonies.
Ants smell with their antennae.
Ants can hear with their legs.
Ants are near-sighted.
Ants can bite, sting, and spray their enemies with chemicals.
Ants can walk upside down.
Ants are very neat and clean.
Ants do not have lungs, and they have tiny brains.

Ants do not have lungs, and they have tiny brains.
An ant’s worst enemy is another ant. Some ant colonies have
huge wars in which thousands of ants rip one another to pieces.
Ants are strong. They can carry food 5 times greater than their
own weight or drag items 25 times heavier.
Ants like hot and humid climates, like the tropics.
Worker ants are all female.
Male ants don’t do any work in the colony. They live a short time
and their only job is to mate with young queens.
When an ant dies it simply falls over. The other ants ignore it
until it starts to rot. Then they pick it up, and carry it out of the
nest

We have discovered lots of interesting facts about ants.
