We have been learning how to reduce, reuse and recycle. We learned how to use the different bins in our classroom by sorting out lots of rubbish into the correct bins.

Short/Tall

In Maths we did a lot of comparing this week. We heard the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We then compared different sized beanstalks and put them in order from shortest to the tallest. We then put ourselves in order of height.

When We Were Babies 

The Baby Clinic has been open for business over the past week. The children really enjoyed this role play area especially as we have been learning about when we were babies and toddlers.

First Day of School

What a lovely first day with a fantastic group of children! We enjoyed playing together in the morning. We learned how to sing our morning song and answer an rolla with anseo. We enjoyed reading the book ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? We then drew a picture of what we saw and listened to the audio of the the book.

We learned where to line up and had a play in our own yard. We froze when we heard the 1st bell ‘Stopaigí‘ and walked to our line ‘Siúligí’ when we heard the 2nd bell. Mairéad gave everyone a sticker for doing such a great job!

We also met Incy, Wincy Spider and sang his nursery rhyme with actions. Incy is going to tell us what we are learning in school each day. Looking forward to a great term ahead. Here is a short video of our first day at school. Enjoy and see you all tomorrow!
