Loading ...In Room 1 the children recently learned about living and non-living things.
We visited the school garden to find both and the children certainly did!
Each child then planted their our own flower bulb which hopefully will prove
to be full of life in Spring!!
We went on a lovely summer walk to Redmond park with all our friends in 1st class on Tuesday. We were looking for all the wonderful signs that summer is here and we found plenty. We brought the iPods with us to take pictures – have a look for yourself ..! 
The children had good fun in Rm 3 recently designing and constructing their own
desk tidies using cardboard inserts, plenty of paint and very careful cutting.
Well done – they are so bright and colourful!
Before Christmas the children planted bulbs in the school garden and last week they also planted raspberry plants with Ms. English. We visited the garden to see how the bulbs were growing and the plants are well above grouns. The children also had lots of fun and screams checking for bugs! And while we were there a rainbow appeared also - with treasure of course !
The children worked very hard in Rm 3 to collaboratively create a Spring collage. Well done! – all the working together to choose colours and carefully apply the different paper and fabrics paid off!
The bulbs the children in Rm 4 sowed last Autumn have been growing and thriving over the past months. Last week, we saw the first ones flowering – the crocuses. Here are the proud gardeners!
The children in Rm 4 recently made book covers of their favourite books. They look great – even better than the real books – well done!
To all the children in Rm 4 – hope you are still enjoying the snow – and of course doing some reading as well!!!
Recently the children in Rm 4 examined different habitats and looked closely at the behaviour of woodlice and snails in the classroom, (very lively woodlice who wanted to explore the entire classroom, but for the bravery of a few boys in the class who captured them!).
Then they each put together a food chain mobile, based on a woodland habitat, starting with oak leaves, eaten by caterpillars, eaten by robins, who in turn are eaten by a hawk!
The children in Rm 4 each designed their own outfit and cut it out from different materials. They created very unique and special pieces and then chose some famous people to wear them!
The children in Rm 4 created their own solar system. Each group was responsible for making a particular planet, mixing paint to get just the right colour and then using much newspaper to create 3-D planets. They are so colourful and cool – and won’t be forgotten easily I hope!! Well done children!
Having learned about some birds, the children in room 4 set about making birds nests. Firstly, they used clay to make the base of the nests. Then on a visit to Redmond Park (kindly invited by Ms. Flynn), the children collected the materials they needed to complete the nests – moss, twigs, ivy, leaves, grass etc. Well done to all the children – the nests look really well!
In Rm 4, the children designed and built their very own park. After much discussion, we made a list of what everyone felt they would love to see in a park and in pairs the children built each part. The class park included a skateboard area, roundabout, bird table, duck pond, slide, swing, roundabout, walkway, flowers, trees, picnic area and tree house.
Well done – it was great collaborative work built on really creative ideas!
Well done to all the children in Rm 4 for their great performance in the Sleepy Shepherd Nativity play. I hope you are having a lovely Christmas!
