Here is a snapshot of Inver N.S. Christmas 2020. This year, the lead up to Christmas has been a little different but very much funfilled! Thank you all for your support and understanding over the past few months. Most of all, thanks to the children who make our job so worthwhile! Merry Christmas everyone!

 

 

Well done to all the boys and girls who were working hard again this week. In Maths we were focusing this week on number stories, number sentences and  shape and pattern revision. We also had another special message from Santa who is really impressed with the children!! Golden time and popcorn and yummy chocolate coins! In Sphe we are focusing on Friendship and how to be a good friend . We are all so lucky to have wonderful friends in school.

Nearly in single digits …AAAAAAHHHH🤗  D.Tyrrell

Just a little snapshot of the week which included the use of our new traversing wall which has gone down a treat. The junior infants are making great headway with their phonics and blending. Letter formation is improving all the time also. Senior infants are doing really well with their writing and plenty of spelling progression each week. So proud of you all!

I hope everyone enjoys the Toy Show tonight . Ironically the theme is Roald Dahl and we are in the middle of reading The Twits in class as our novel. Have a little chat about The Twits perhaps?

Did you know Roald Dahl was a spy, an ace fighter pilot , a medical inventor as well as an amazing writer! He was born in 1916 and died in 1990. His books including Charlie and the chocolate Factory, The BFG and Fantastic Mr Fox are famous worldwide and his story writing is an inspiration to us all. D. Tyrrell

 

Another week has flown by..where does the time go? We have been working on number and length in Maths this week again. In SPHE We all crossed the swamp by saying positive things about ourselves and when we got stuck our friends helped us think of positive traits. Good job! We enjoyed paired work as Gaeilge with our cartaí gaeilge , ranntaí and also library time connected to our theme of Books in English. Wonderful writing efforts from every boy and girl. I am so proud of you! D.Tyrrell

This week we had lots of fun investigating and predicting as part of Science week – egg in a bottle, self inflating balloons, transportation in flowers, OOBLECK which was very messy but lots of fun amongst others . We also had fun estimating and measuring length in Maths which we will continue to work on again next week. I am so proud of all the boys and girls who are working so hard both in school and at home. I can see big improvements in reading, writing and spellings(Senior Infants) so please continue with this wonderful effort. D.Tyrrell

 

 

A very busy first week back after midterm. We are making great progress in our writing workshops and will continue to revise all our phonics and tricky words at home too. Well done everyone! D.Tyrrell

Wishing you all a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! See you all soon! D.Tyrrell

Well done  to everyone who kept their Maths Eyes open this week. Maths really is EVERYWHERE!

The solution to yesterdays puzzle is Lucy is 8 years of Age. 

Well done to everyone who responded . The first correct response was from Kayleigh & Sean’s family so maith síbhse!!

One final question for Maths Week. This one nobody actually knows the answer to yet!!! But get your estimations in…. comment below.

What weight do you think Múinteoir Lisa’s baby will be?

 

We had alot of fun again this week. As well as many Maths activities for Maths week which included a Maths quiz -so much fun!, the children were also learning about the topic of Bia (food) as Gaeilge.

We have played cluichí cártaí in pairs  to practice ‘An maith leat___?’ ‘Is maith liom __?’ and ‘Ní maith liom___. It is fun for kids to reinforce these Gaeilge phrases at home and it normalises Irish as a language as opposed to a subject. So any opportunity you have, throw in the cúpla focal! D.Tyrrell

Great enthusiasm this Maths week with all the responses we have received. Well done!

Have a go at this!

How old is Lucy?

Sarah is three times as old as Peter. Max is twice as old as Peter. Lucy is two years older than Max. Altogether their ages sum to 26 years. How old is Lucy?

Yesterday’s Answer

What a fabulous response to yesterday’s estimation task. We had multiple responses on the blog and even more in school today.

We had 2 winners with the correct answer of 74 teddies so congratulations Róna and Eileen. Maith síbhse!! Thank you to our 20 judges who counted aloud so carefully.

Today’s Maths question is simply a prediction or estimation task.

How many teddies are in the lunch box?

All children have seen the actual size and are aware that the teddies vary in size. Just a bit of fun!

20 mini judges will count these out tomorrow morning and we will get back to you with an answer!

Well done to everyone who worked on yesterday’s puzzle. It was a tricky one but we had 2 families with the correct answer which was 11weeks. The Rocket was half way to Mars at eleven weeks.

The 1st family with the correct answer was Aisling Cosgrove’s family and in 2nd place Ray, Alex and Chris Coyle’s family. Fair play to you all!

Correct answer or not , what is important is the discussion/arguments around the puzzle. Maths is all about language!!
