Games- Now and then

Long ago, children didn't have computer games or televisions. We have been learning about games children liked to play in the past. We interviewed older people to find out about the games they played when they were young. We still play a lot of these games.

We had fun trying out some of these games in the hall.

Marbles 

Hopscotch

Skittles

 Roll the hoop

Our walk with Mary

We were out in the school garden with Mary today.

 Oliver planted daffodil bulbs. 

We could see the roots and shoots.

Mary said we were a very clever class

because we could tell her all about the oak tree.

P.E.

Before midterm we were improving our throwing and catching skills. 

For the next two months we will be covering Athletics. 

We will be developing our running, jumping and throwing skills. 

 

Good Luck Dublin!

Harvesting and tasting

Today we helped Mary harvest the vegetables and herbs that we planted last year.

We harvested carrot, cabbage, potato, radish, onion and courgette.

 

Afterwards we went inside and had a chance to taste.

Thank you to Ms Horgan, Ms Dunne and Mary.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Ms Deery's blog.

Goodbye from 1st Class in Room 9

Good bye and see you after the summer.

Science- Minibeast hunt

We went on a minibeast hunt.

We found ants, bees, earwigs, spiders, woodlice, worms and greenflies.

We worked in pairs to scoop them into a jar.

We examined them with magnifying glasses.

We were very gentle and put all the minibeasts back exactly were we found them.

Our school tour to Puddenhill Farm and Activity Centre

We had a great day at Puddenhill Farm.

We loved feeding and petting the big animals.

We got to hold the small animals.

Then we had our picnic outside.

After that we went into the activity centre and had great fun.

Sport for all day

We had great fun on sport for all day.



The Enormous Crocodile- Reading our minibooks

We wrote our own versions of The Enormous Crocodile.

Last week we brought them home to read to our families.

On Monday we got into pairs with children

from Ms Ryan's class and read our mini-books

Science- Fruit and seeds

We looked carefully at the seeds inside fruit.

We noticed that the banana had the smallest seeds

and the peach had the biggest.

Incredible Edibles- Tasting with Alida



Drama

Here is the environment we made for Freddie.

 Saying goodbye to Freddie.

Art- The Enormous Crocodile

Poor Roly-Poly Bird.

The Enormous Crocodile snapped off his tail feathers.

We made him new ones.

 We made our own Roly-Poly Birds using crepe paper.

We cut card in the shape of Enormous Crocodile characters.

We used these as stencils and made prints using sponges.

Maths

This week we are learning about weight.

We have been balancing cubes, chalks, copies and lollipop sticks. 

Today we found out that it takes about 6 apples or 7 carrots or
25 small potatoes to balance one kilogramme!

Incredible Edibles

Here are some pages from our Incredible Edibles Logbook.







History

We have been learning about Kenure House.

We worked in groups of four to do mini projects on the house.



Try it Tuesday

We really enjoyed Try it Tuesday.

We brought in fruit and vegetables to share with others.

Thank you to all the parents and minders who bought and cut up fruit.
