Number 9

We had fun with the number 9 this week -making it at different tables,hiding 9 eggs around the classroom,bringing 9 teddies to the park in a game..

Shapes around us

Today Ms. McLoughlin's class walked to the beach with Ms. Conneely's class.

We looked at all sorts of houses.

We found bungalows, 2 story houses, 3 story houses, caravans, camper vans, detached houses, dormer houses, a thatched cottage, apartments, semi-detached and detached houses and even a split level house.

The highlight of our house spotting was when we got to see inside a real caravan! What a treat!

On our way to the beach we spotted all sorts of shapes.  Lots of the signs we passed were triangles, diamonds, rectangles, circles or octagons.  We also spotted cuboids, cylinders and spheres.

Which shapes can you see?

Lastly we just had fun.  Fun on the beach on such a nice day.  It is great that our school is so close to lovely Ballyloughane beach.

Healthy data charts

 We have been talking about healthy living and healthy eating.

Today we used our EDpaX Science CD to help us make "My Favourite Meal" and "My FavouriteTreat" data charts. We counted and compared all the different groups.  We are getting really good at interpreting data charts. 

 We chatted a lot about the different food groups and about needing good food, drinks, sleep, exercise and fresh air to be healthy and to grow big and strong.

Spring Data Chart

After chatting about the signs of spring we decided what we like best about spring.

Here is a data chart of our favourite Spring things.

 If you had the choice, what would you choose?

We had great fun counting and comparing groups, classifying items into plants and animals, looking at colours of spring and talking about spring in general.

WE LOVE SPRING!
