January
In January, we were happy to return to school to see all our friends after the Christmas break. We shared lots of fabulous stories of our break and of the excitement of Santa’s visit to our homes.
In Art, we experimented with Primary and Secondary colours and made our very own colour wheels. We then created a colourful class caterpillar.

The following week, we explored what we had learned about mixing colours to create tonal hot and cold colours. We were all experts at this!
In Aistear, we learned about the Post Office. We built postal routes, made maps for the Postman, went on a word hunt, worked in the sorting station and wrote and posted letters to our friends. We learned the process of how letters and parcels arrive at their destinations. This was fascinating!
In Science, we explored floating and sinking. Thankfully, all of the water containers stayed upright and most of the water remained in them!
February
In Maths, we learned about 3D shape. We are all very familiar with cubes, cylinders, spheres and cuboids. We sorted shapes, drew pictures with them, built shapes using matchsticks and play doh (This was a challenge!) and made towers.

In Music, we made shakers using a variety of different dry foods. We listened to and discussed the sounds our instruments made. This may have resulted in us having a picnic lunch as the clean up became a little too much… we were secretly delighted!
In Handwriting, we used matchsticks and lollipop sticks to make our capital letters E, T, K and H!
Listen to the song we learned whilst learning about the Lifecycle of the Frog.
We became Dentist’s in Aistear.
March
In phonics, we matched pictures to words, went on word hunts, played board games and other games to help us learn our ‘ai’ sound.

On Pancake Tuesday, we decorate pancake faces and ate pancakes with our favourite toppings… they were devoured before we had time to take pictures!
In Drama, we created Sculpture Galleries. We worked with a partner to mould each other into shape for others to view in the Gallery. We learned that it is very hard to keep a straight face!
World Book Day was so much fun. We had some interesting characters in our classroom that day.
The water containers returned for maths, and we explored units of measure. We learned how to show containers that were full, empty, half-full, almost full and almost empty.
Check out our Green Day song, parade and dance moves.
We had some lovely weather and Gerry invited us to the garden to help him plant some trees.
April
Early April, saw us take off on a mission to Space in Aistear. We learned about Astronauts, their voyage into Space and the planets.

In phonics, we worked on out oo and oo sounds before our well-earned Easter break!
We hope you enjoyed catching up on what we got up to in Term 2.
