The boys and girls in First, Second and Third Class created their own personal Advent Calender. They used their own fun ideas to create goodwill gestures of what to carry out on that particular day in the countdown to Christmas Day. Some of them include “extra PE day”, “wear fluffy socks to school day” and “extra yard time” to name but afew. They are having great fun each morning opening the door to see what lays behind for the day.
They also created an Advent Calender using their hand cutouts.
The boys and girls had so much fun in PE this week. The new traversing wall where they can climb horizontally and at a lower height than most climbing walls proved to be very popular amongst our class. They had great fun trying to co-ordinate around all the various grips with lots of teamwork and trust building which was lovely to see.
This week the boys and girls were busy thinking of lots of adjectives to add to their Christmas Narrative Stories. They really enjoyed working in their pods to think of some ‘amazing’ adjectives! Take took and check those adjectives out. Excellent teamwork by all the boys and girls.
The children were learning about 2D and 3D shapes over the past few weeks. They played lots of games and got to make different regular and irregular shapes from marshmallows and sticks. We all had great fun with our creations.
The boys and girls in Múinteoir Aoife’s Classroom had super fun during Science Week November 8th-15th 2020″. During the week the children carried out lots of experiments, science themed crosswords and investigated some interesting scientists and scientific facts.
