Science Week

For Science Week, the Junior Room looked at the topic of Winter. We found out lots of facts about the season of winter. We carried out an experiment to find out what happens to different liquids when we freeze them. We also began making snowmen out of clay.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

We enjoyed working on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We listened to the story, sequenced the story and acted it out. 

Maths Week

Maths week was lots of fun in the Junior Room. We did lots of maths including a shape hunt in the playground. We found lots of shapes and even had time for some play! 

Wasp's Nest

A big thank you to Tommy O'Dwyer for bringing in a wasp's nest for us to see. We enjoyed dissecting it and learning all about wasps. To find out more about wasps follow the link: http://www.coolkidfacts.com/wasp-facts-for-kids/

Maths

In maths the infants have been using bears to make patterns. First they followed the patterns on their cards. Then they made their own patterns using varying colours and sizes. Everyone enjoyed it.

Credit Union Art Competition

We enjoyed entering the Credit Union Art Competition. This year's theme was 'Dreams are made of this...' We used our imagination to create lots of beautiful painting.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

While 2nd Class went on their outdoor trip to Castleruddery, we read the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We made our own books and used symmetry painting to create beautiful butterflies.

Maths

We have been very busy at maths time. We have been counting, sorting and learning the pairs that make 10.

Back to School

We are enjoying being back at school, seeing our friends and playing and learning.

Maths

We have been working very hard in maths. We have been counting, ordering and categorizing. 

The Rainbow Fish

We really enjoyed reading the story of The Rainbow Fish. We did lots of work around this story in English, discussed what we would share with our friends and even made some wonderful clay Rainbow Fish!

Green Fingers

We have been been busy in the school garden over the last few days. On Friday 1st and 2nd class weeded the garden and prepared it for planting. Today we planted 5 five varieties of wild flowers. We are excited to watch them grow. Hopefully they will attract lots of bees and butterflies into the school.
