We love reading!

We love reading in our class and we visit the library every week to read books and pick out other interesting books to read at home!

Releasing the butterflies

We have been busy learning all about the life cycle of the butterfly and the boys and girls have waited patiently for the caterpillars to form their chrysalis and then waited patiently for them to emerge from their cocoons as butterflies! 

We were so excited when they came out of their cocoons and once all five butterflies had come out, we released them!

We sang goodbye to them and we will be looking carefully in the sky to see if we can see them again soon!

Birthday celebrations

We love to celebrate birthdays in our classroom by singing happy birthday and sharing treats! 

Attendance Awards

Well done to the boys and girls who achieved their bronze attendance awards for this term! Also a big well done to the children who won silver awards for being in school every day for both terms!

Maths Activities

Everyday in our Maths lessons, we use lots of concrete materials to learn about number! Here we are learning to sequence number cards up to 10!

Learning about Spain

We have been very lucky to have 2 Spanish students working with our class, helping us with our work and teaching us about Spain! Andrea and Angela taught us all about the country of Spain and even showed us how to do 2 traditional Spanish dances - the Cha Cha and the Macarena! Here we are practising our moves!

World Book Day

We had great fun dressing up as our favourite storybook characters for World Book Day! We also loved listening to and reading other children's favourite stories too!

Hurling

The boys and girls are having great fun learning new skills in hurling with Gerry! They have been practising really hard and am improving each week!

Wally & Tiny Turtle

Wally brought a friend with him to our school today - Tiny Turtle! He's been teaching us all about how to keep calm when we get frustrated. He teaches us that we should take 3 deep breaths and imagine our happy place when we take some time out in our shell! 

Pancake Tuesday

We celebrated Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Tuesday, in our class by making delicious pancakes! We mixed milk, eggs and flour to make the batter and when the pancakes were ready, we added lots of delicious healthy and tasty toppings!

Attendance Awards

Well done to all the children in our class who got bronze attendance awards for attending school every day in term 1!

Learning about Poland

The children have been learning all about Poland for the International Festival we are having, to work towards getting our Yellow Flag! Some of the parents very generously gave their time to teach the children songs, poems and dances and read traditional Polish stories to the children.
