A Special Visitor

Today we had a special visitor from the fire station. We had so many questions and learned a lot of things about fire safety.

Nocturnal Animals

We are learning about nocturnal animals and have completed fact files on bats, hedgehogs and owls. We made beautiful owls using textured paper, feathers and card.

Number Stories

We are working on number stories and exploring all the different ways to make various numbers.

Music with Bergie

Today we had music with Bergie. We learned to use our listening ears and to watch and follow the conductor. We first used body percussion to put on a rain show and then we used percussion instruments. We used different instruments to sound out light rain, medium rain, heavy rain and thunder. We had so much fun!

 

Playdough Disco

We love using playdough as a fine motor activity. Our new favourite exercise is playdough disco! We love to squeeze our playdough, pat it, pinch it, roll it and to pass it around our hands. We’ve been working on creating Autumn signs and animals out of playdough using rollers and cutters of different shapes and sizes. Teacher is so amazed by our fabulous imagination!

 

Playground Games

We turned back the clock and played lots of games from the past. Elastics was our favourite.

Self Portrait

We worked very hard creating beautiful self portraits using oil pastels.

Music


We enjoyed our first music lesson with Bergie. We practised our listening skills by responding to a piece of music through movement. We walked, marched, jumped and tip-toed to the music! We also listened and responded to the poem Spring by Vivaldi and accompanied the poem with percussion instruments.

GAA


We had our first GAA training session of the year with coach Fearghal. We practised passing and receiving, kicking and soloing the ball with our friends. It was great fun!

PE

We really enjoyed our first PE lesson this year. We practised our throwing and catching skills using beanbags.
