First and Second class have had a very busy few weeks.
Aistear:
We have started Aistear in our room and have been having great fun learning all about China.
We explored the Chinese New Year festival, food and the Willow Pattern Story. We also discovered how to write our names in Chinese and reconstructed the Great Wall of China.
We really enjoyed exploring the resources that parents sent in including Chinese stamps, pens, cookbooks, fact books and a box that once held Chinese tea leaves. In our Visual Arts area we made Chinese Drums, wall hangings with our names painted in Chinese, and dragons using egg cups.
The girls reconstructed the 'Temple of Heaven' in Beijing using play dough.
We recreated the characters from the 'Willow Pattern Story'.
The boys made famous Chinese landmarks - Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai and The Great Wall of China.
Maths:
Second class have been having great fun learning about positional words in Maths. We had great fun following giving and following directions.
Sporting achievements:
We are so proud of all the children in our class and of each of their achievements.
Emma recently came First Place in the Under 8 Mile run on New Year's Eve in Avondale.
Megan competed in a national gymnastics competition in Dublin on the 20th of January. She took part in the trampolining section.
Well done girls we are so proud of you both!
