Maths activities
October 3, 2019
Today we did Maths stations in Prefab 9! The boys spent 10 minutes at each station doing various maths activities. They made patterns with beads, patterns on peg boards, played a dice game with cubes, made maths jigsaws and played a counting game on the interactive whiteboard. The boys had great fun doing these hands on activities.

Mother Nature, Did you Sneeze?
September 30, 2019
We have really enjoyed falling into learning this September! We’ve learned that during Autumn, leaves change colour and fall, animals hibernate, fruit and vegetables are harvested and birds migrate to warmer countries.
We also read the poem ‘Mother Nature, Did you Sneeze?’ by Pat Cook and painted our very own Autumn trees using our handprints, paint and cotton buds. Here is a little peak at some of the masterpieces!

Aistear in Prefab 9
September 30, 2019
Our theme for Aistear this month is ‘Myself and My Family’. We will be having lots of fun this month role playing in the home corner, playing with toy houses for our Small World activities and designing and building houses with various types of blocks. For our Creative/Junk Ark work it would be great if the boys could bring in some empty cardboard boxes from home e.g cereal boxes or shoe boxes as we will be using these to make houses.
This week the boys will visit the school library. They will choose a book to bring home and enjoy reading with their family. Please mind this book carefully and keep it in your son’s school bag as we will change these books every week. These books can be read to the boys purely for enjoyment.
Thank you.
