Numeracy Activities!



We love taking part in numeracy activities in the mornings! We play counting games, make patterns, make pictures from shapes and write our numbers! Maths Morning is a very busy and fun time in our classroom!!











Aistear- Learning through Play


We love Aistear in our class. Aistear means learning through play. We have six stations and each table takes their turn at the different stations. This month we have the Cafe, the blocks, junk art, the sand, the creative table and small world. We love using our imagination to make inventions and create our own games. We are super at working together as a team!

May

This month we received ten more stars for the best line! We went on a walk through the wood for our reward.
We looked out for signs of summer- flowers, leaves and insects!We had a wonderful adventure and sang lots of songs along the way.

Intercultural Festival!


March

During the month of March we celebrated out Intercultural Festival!
Each class was given a country to complete a project on. The country we learned about was India.
We learned lots of interesting facts about the food, clothes and festivals in India.
One of our pupil's parents came in to teach us all about India. She wore a beautiful Saris, a traditional Indian dress. She taught us lots of interesting facts and a lovely song, 'Vande Mataram'.
We also learned a nursery rhyme in Hindi called 'Dhobi Aaya' .

On the Thursday we had a food festival. Thank you so much to all of you for bringing so much beautiful food and treats into class. The children were very good at trying new foods and really enjoyed the day.
The festival was a great success.









Full Attendance!


During the month of February children were awarded with Full attendance certificates.
The certificates were awarded to the children who had full attendance from September to December. The children received bronze awards and a prize!
Certificates will be awarded again for the term January to Easter and again during the final term, Easter- Summer!
Well done to the children that received an award!




Pancake Tuesday!


February
We love Pancakes! On Pancake Tuesday we learned a poem about how to make pancakes and tasted delicious pancakes in class. We put sugar and lemon on our pancakes!












Ten Stars!!!

January

The children worked very hard at freezing when the bell rings and lining up nicely this month.
After each break two stars are awarded to the best classes at lining up. When a class receives ten stars they receive a reward of their choice and guess what............We earned our ten stars!! The children voted on a Teddy Bear Popcorn Party as a reward. It was great fun!
Well done boys and girls!
