A look back at Term 1

This term in 1st class we have had a very busy term back after coming back to school.

Maths Week 
We have been busy learning about lots of new things from taking part in Maths week where we used mirrors to explore if Halloween shape are symmetrical or non-symmetrical. We also got to share our learning during assembly. 

Procedural Writing
We have also been using learning how to write instructions so we could explain how to make Rice Krispie Buns. We had lots of fun making and eating them. 

Pyjama Party
We also earned our class treat during September which was a pyjama party. We got to wear our pyjamas to school and watch a film with some popcorn and our Rice Krispie Buns that we made earlier in the week. 

Beep Beep walk
We learned all about crossing the road and the Safe Cross Code. We then took part in the Beep Beep Walk with Junior Infants, Senior Infants and Second Class. We practiced crossing the road together, we also meet some local Gardai and then even let us have a look inside their Garda car. 

Playroom
This year we are so lucky to be able to use our new playroom, we have great fun trying out all of the fun toys and learning to play safely. 

Halloween Art
We have been creating some lovely art pieces over the past days. We created some lovely pumpkins to display in our classroom using some crepe paper and paper plates. We also were doing some printing to make some more pumpkins. We used apple halves to make the pumpkin shape and drew on some pumpkin faces.
