We enjoyed our blow painting as part of our 'fireworks' creations. Notice our 'fireworks' poems already attached in safe containers awaiting Hallowe'en celebrations.
Fun and games as we prepare for our Hallowe'en break.  
First of all we had some 'Floury Fun'! 
Then we were blindfolded and tried to pin the tail onto the witch's cat! See where we put it.
Next it was 'apple bobbing' time!
We simply got 'wet, wet, wet'! You can see we had so much fun.

In 2nd class, we listened to some stories about homeless people in Dublin and imagined how difficult life would be if we were homeless. We wrote our own stories and what we would need to improve our lives if were had no homes.

A report is a piece of writing that gives information about a person, place, animal or thing. We read lots of report examples during our literacy classes and paired off to write our own reports. We researched our topics on the laptops and here are our finished pieces.

Maths Fun in First Class during Maths Week

Look at our Shape and Space pictures. We learned about 2D shapes. We coloured and cut out tangrams and then reassembled them creating these beautiful pictures.
We have been working on numbers bigger than 10. We are able to count, add and partition sets. We are very good at describing our sets of tens and units, using a selection of concrete materials.

This week for art we dealt with a halloween theme. We read the poems 'Seein Things' and 'Witches Potion' and then in our groups created Halloween themed dioramas. We discussed what we wanted our diorama to look like, collected materials and got to work! Look at our finished products...and Happy Halloween!
