Maths Week is Here!

During Maths Week we had lots of fun playing Maths games such as 4 in a Row and Snakes and Ladders. We really enjoyed solving some picture simultaneous equations. We also learned about Tangrams. We designed our own Tangram shapes and arranged them in various ways to make different Tangram pictures. This was a little tricky at first but with some practice we started to find it easier. We also went on a Maths Trail outside our school and among the things we had to spot were the different shapes in the school grounds, the number of different colour cars in the car park and the number of windows in the school as well as finding the year the school was built! We had great fun working with our groups to find the answers! A very enjoyable Maths week was had by all.

Carol Service Practice

1st and 2nd Class have been working so hard learning their Christmas carols for the upcoming Carol Service. They are really looking forward to performing their carols in the church. They should be so proud of themselves. They will sing Mary's Boy Child, Mary and Following a Star!

Penguin Art

Our penguins are waddling into winter. We experimented with mixing various shades of blue, purple and white to make the colours for our penguin backgrounds. We used black paper, white and orange paper to make our penguins and the snow and made cool scarves and hats for them.

Smarties Data

Learning about data peaked a lot of interest in rang a haon agus a dó when they realised smarties were involved! The children were very excited to receive a box of smarties to count and then they recorded how many of each colour they had on a block graph. They were amazed to discover that not every box has the same of each colour and the total amount of sweets in the box can also vary.
