Stone Age Life

We studies the Stone Age people recently.
We learned how they made their homes and then made models of their homes.

We discovered how the Stone Age people made their weapons and then made some of our own.

We discovered how they made paint for their pictures using berries and plants. We made paint using raspberries, strawberries and fushia flowers and made some pictures with this paint. Do you like them?

MATHS TRAIL FRIDAY

We have been studying shapes, lines and angles.

Then we went into the garden to look around.

We used plumb lines to check and see if lines are vertical or diagional.

We saw vertical and horizontal lines, circles, triangles and right angles.

Now here is a challenge for you!

How many rectangles do you see in the two windows?

Look carefully and count them all!

Reading Buddies

Every Thursday the children from Ms Bates' class join us for reading.

We met our buddies for the first time this week.

 We read for the little children and
 they read for us.

We all enjoyed reading.

Welcome Back

The children in Room 4 are back in school working very hard.
They all look great in their uniforms. .

We have been trying different fruit and vegetables from the garden.

Of course we are delighted Dublin won the Sam Maguire Cup. Up The Dubs!!

Musical Instruments

We made our own musical instruments and then decorated them.

Then we played our instruments as we sang songs.

Out in the garden

We planted sunflower seeds and put them in the poly tunnel. We watered them and watched them grow. Then we brought them home to plant in our own gardens. I hope they grow really tall.

We planted out some vegetables with Mary.

We examined the birds' nests in the polytunnel.

We also looked at the rocks in the polytunnel.
