A special visitor

We have been busy talking about people who help us for the last few weeks -we invited Ms.McGoldrick to visit and we asked her some questions about her job – we were delighted to hear her say that the best part of her job is meeting & chatting to the boys every day
Whiteboard work in Prefab 9

Today we used small whiteboards to practise mark making and drawing. We sang the song ‘Mat man’ to help us to draw a person. The link for this song is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ec7J57YewxQ. We also tried writing our sound for this week – s. The boys enjoyed using the whiteboards!

This week in Prefab 9.
October 7, 2019
In Prefab 9 this week we are learning the sound ‘s’. The boys could look at home for things that begin with s. We have created an ‘s’ table in our classroom with items that begin with s.
We have also been spending more time on making sets and sorting and matching.
We are very lucky because a librarian is coming to visit our class this week. We have prepared some questions to ask her about her work.
We are learning ‘ag léamh, ag scríobh and ag gáire in Irish.
Could you send in a photo of your son when he was a baby (with his name written on the back) as we will be using this for our work on the theme ‘Myself’ in History. I will return these when we are finished using them.
Many thanks.
Basketball skills

Ms. Murphy’s First Class have been learning basketball skills in P.E. They learnt the chest pass, the bounce pass, dribbling skills and how to work as a team. Ms. Murphy thinks, there are some future basketball players in the class, the boys were excellent!
