Ms Hill's First and Second Class

  We really enjoyed having our grandparents in for Grandparents' Day. Here is some of the art work we prepared for them. We had plenty of chats about why we love our grandparents and loved performing some poems and songs for them on the day. We particularly enjoyed seeing them when they came to visit our classrooms. 

Spring is here and we celebrated the feast of St Brigid by making St Brigid's crosses. We learned the story of St Brigid and sang Brigid's special song "We Sing a Song to Brigid."

We have begun learning all about tens and units and have fun using our place value mats and dienes cubes to make different numbers. 

We have been learning how to pray the Rosary. We even made our own mini set of Rosary Beads to help us pray a decade of the Rosary. 

We have been learning all about the report writing genre. We have written reports on animals, a country and a famous scientist. Take a look at a sample of our work...

We have been exploring and investigating 3D Shapes. We made our own 3D shapes and figured out if they can slide, roll, stack and counted the number of sides and faces each one has. 

 

We have been chatting about and looking out for signs of winter. Here we are painting Santa's little helper the robin. 

  We had great fun during Science week in First Class. We made sail cars and tested which ones would  travel the furthest, we did an eggs-tra bounce experiment, we made our own lava lamps and got to visit the 3rd and 4th class science fair where they showed us lots of different science experiments. We learned a lot from them.
