Engineer's Week

Engineer's week was action packed in the 1st and 2nd Class classroom. Here you can see us having lots of fun designing and making our dream playgrounds. We worked on our teamwork, collaboration and problems solving skills and were very proud of the playgrounds we created. We invited Junior and Senior Infants into our classroom to view and chat about our projects. There was great excitement altogether! Well done to all the Infants who did a great job naming all the different rides in our playgrounds :) 

The children in 1st and 2nd Class also read the story Rosie Revere Engineer as a stimulus for coming up with their own invention for the future. They learned how important it is to have belief and perseverance when it comes to working as an engineer! Some of the cool ideas they came up with included the Homework Do-er 2000, a servant robot and a multiplying machine 14,000!!!

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.
