Maths Week - Maths for Fun Games

This week, we are celebrating Maths Week in our school. Today we invited our mums and dads to come to our classroom and play some maths games with us! We had lots of fun learning how to play new games with our parents and teachers!

Buddy Bench

We love using the new buddy bench on our yard! When we are alone or have nobody to play with, we can sit on the buddy bench and other children invite us to play with them. If there are a few of us on the bench, sometimes we play together!

Forest walk

Last week we were the first class in the whole school to get enough stars for best líne, to earn a special reward! We chose to go on a forest walk to Merlin Woods!

We left the school in pairs, following Múinteoir Carol...


We walked along the pathway, using our senses of sight, smell and hearing to explore the local environment. 


We entered the forest with our bags to gather some leaves from all of the different trees we could find...


We discovered some very tall evergreen trees in the forest and we learnt that these trees stay green all year round, even now in autumn!

We then found other trees, that change over the seasons. We gathered lots of leaves from different trees and even found some seeds from some trees on the forest floor...



After we collected the leaves in the forest, we returned to our classroom...


We are going to have lots of fun examining the different leaves and seeds we found! 
Later in the week, we will show you some leaves from the trees that are all around us! 
Maybe then you can explore your  own area and discover some of these trees too!
