HALLOWEEN GAMES!

The Student Council very kindly organised traditional Halloween games for us in the GP room today. It was really great fun!!

SUPER SCIENTISTS! Rain Gauge Project winners!

Congratulations to our super scientists, Naofa and Holly who worked so hard on their rain gauge homework projects. Holly brought in pictures of her doing her projects at home.-one to demonstrate evaporation and the other to measure rainfall.

Naofa astonished us all with her outstanding rainfall project she presented to the class. We took pictures of it to show you all.

Congratulations to both of the girls on receiving a "STAR STUDENT" certificate for their diligent work.

Autumn/Halloween Wreaths

We loved making these Autumn/Halloween themed wreaths. We used beautiful Autumn leaves from the school yard, cardboard, tissue paper, spider webs and other bits and pieces. We listened to spooky music while we worked too!

Milk Tasting

We had a very important job to do for Lakeland Dairies on Monday morning. We had to taste their yummy flavoured milks to see what we thought of them. 

Blackberries

We were caught red handed during break time picking the lovely juicy blackberries growing around the school yard perimeter. YUM!!

Maths Week 2019!

Today, as part of Maths Week, our class teamed up with Junior and Senior Infants. We made 6 teams and rotated around 6 stations in the GP room. We worked on maths games on the tablets, cutting and pasting shapes on a Halloween firework and a selection of maths games. It worked really well and we all enjoyed ourselves very much. 

Marbling!

As part of a Science lesson, we discovered that oil and water do NOT mix. Therefore we based an art lesson around this. We used marbling ink which is oil based. Mrs Fay put a few drops of the ink on the surface of some water in a tray and dipped the paper on top of it. The results were amazing!!

PE is FUN!

We had great fun this week on the Astro Turf during PE time. We did warm ups, played Hit the Hoop, Court Cleaner and then practised our under arm throwing and catching in our ball skills game. Then we played a fun silent game where we had to line up in certain orders eg the months of the year in which we were born. It was so difficult trying to communicate with no words but we managed it!
