Patterns





We had lots of fun making patterns from beads, pegs, cubes, counters and straws.

Happy Valentine's Day

An tEarrach


Tús an Earraigh,
Bláthanna ag fás.
Ainmhithe óge,
Duilleoga glas.

Laethanta níos faide,
Aimsir níos fearr.
Feormeoirí ag obair,
Ag cur síl sa pháirc.

Maths Games







Everyday we play maths games. Sometimes we play BINGO. Teacher calls out sums and we put a counter on the number, if we have it. The first one to fill their card is the winner!



Mixing Colours


Last Monday, we mixed some paints. We learned that blue and red makes purple, red and yellow makes orange and yellow and blue makes green.

Pancake Tuesday


Yesterday was Pancake Tuesday. Some children brought pancakes for lunch. We wrote recipes for pancakes in our copies. To make pancakes you need: 2 cups of flour, a pinch of salt, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups of milk. Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the egg and milk and stir until smooth. Cook on a hot frying pan. Serve with sugar and lemon. Enjoy!

Planets


For the past two weeks, we've been learning all about planets. Leanna and Chloe brought in books about planets and Cian brought in his telescope. We made planet mobiles using card and wire hangers.
