Seachtain na Gaeilge

Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge ar siúl sa scoil i mbliana ón 10ú lá Mhárta go dtí an 14ú lá Mhárta. Bhi neart spórt agus spraoi ag na páistí go léir ag baint taitneamh agus sult as na himeachtaí éagsúla a bhí eagraithe sa scoil i rith na seachtaine-idir ceol, dramaíocht, scéalaíocht, cluichí agus damhsa Gaelach. Bhí lá glas againn i gcomhair Lá le Pádraig ar an 14ú Márta. Tháinig na leanaí agus múinteoirí isteach ag caitheamh dathanna na hÉireann.

Our New School

We moved to our new school building on Friday the 28th February.

 It was a very special day as we said 'Goodbye' to our previous classroom and walked to our new school.

On Friday morning we drew pictures of our favourite memories and activities that we enjoyed in our previous classroom. Then we joined the whole school for a procession to the new school where Múinteoir Paula cut the ribbon and we released our balloons to celebrate our new school building.

It was fantastic day and we are very proud of our new school.

 

Na Trí Mhuc Bheaga

Bhain na páistí an sult as an dráma 'Na Trí Mhuc Bheaga' a chur na Naoináin Shinsearacha i láthair dúinn an seachtain seo caite. Bhí said go hiontach.  Maith sibh!!

Maths- Weight

We have been busy learning about weight in Maths, heavy, light, big, small, heavier, lighter, the same weight as etc.

We used a balance to examine weight and our “maths eyes” to see examples in the environment.

 

 

 

Positivity Day

We had so much fun celebrating Positivity Day in our class. We made Rice Krispie buns and hosted a Teddy Bears Picnic in our classroom.

We had such a fun day!!

Sight Words

Here are some practical and helpful ideas on ways to make sight word practice fun for all!

Flash Card Games

Can you find? Lay cards on table, face up. Ask your child to find a given word. If they find it, they keep it. Keep going until all cards are picked up.

Who has more?  Give flash cards to your child. If they read the word within 5 seconds, they keep the card. If not, you keep the card. The goal is that your child has more than you at the end of the game.

Concentration Using double copies of the words, take turns turning over two cards at a time, trying to make a match. The player must read the word correctly to get the match.

Other Activities

Using a highlighter or crayon help your child to find his/her sight words in print (newspaper, magazine etc.)

Read to your child, pointing to the words so that he/she sees the words in books.

Put magnetic letters on the refrigerator or on a metal cookie sheet. Let your child make their words.

 

Ordinal Number

This week in Team Teaching we have been learning about ordinal number.

We played a fun activity with Múinteoir Michelle where we lined up our toy cars and used the language of ordinal number to talk about their place in the line i.e. first, second, third, last.
