We really enjoyed our nature walk around the school. We collected leaves and flowers for our nature table. We also made a rain gauge and placed it in the school garden. We checked and recorded the readings regularly.
We learned all about 2-D shapes and made our own pictures using circles, rectangles, square and triangles.
Learning to play and share with all our new friends. We are excited to be in 'big' school at last!
Our Playtime Routine We have structured playtime in our classroom and take part in the Aistear programme. Each activity is rotated and our play theme is changed each month. We have five play groups : construction (lego,bricks,straws etc), fine motor (playdoh, stencils, jigsaws, art), small world (houses, cars, dolls etc), maths play (games, bingo, patterns, pegs) and a role play area. Our role play is based on a monthly theme. October: The Baby Clinic November: The Building Site December: The Toy Shop January - February: The Vets March: The Cafe April: The Grocery Shop |
