1st class have had a blast in room 4 so far this year! The girls have all settled into 1st class really well (even with the extra hour!) It has been lovely getting to know each other at the start of a new year. Our days have been jam-packed with learning, discussion & fun activities.

We have been revising our phonics sounds & writing about our news each week. We also have started cursive writing which the girls were so excited about. In maths, we are working on our number skills & counting & some algebra as well as solving simple maths problems in our problem-solving copies. We have great discussions about how to go about solving problems! As Gaeilge, we have learned all about the theme of ‘mé féin’ through the characters of Síofra, Seán agus Oisín. We really enjoy using Gaeilge in the class, especially cluichí & drámaíocht!

In SESE, we have had lots of discussion about or families & the stages of life for history. We had a wonderful show & tell activity this month where the girls brought in their own special artefacts & explained why they are special to them. In geography, we chatted about our community in Rathangan & all it’s lovely amenities, including our favourite place to go. We also went on a senses nature walk around the school grounds & recorded what we came across using our senses. We conducted an experiment in science to understand the concept of dissolving, as well as discussion around the benefits of recycling & why this is so important for our planet.

We celebrated National Fitness Day later this month & we had a great time taking part in different relays & activities with Ms. Feeney’s 1st class outdoors. We also got out to our fabulous school garden to remove all the weeds so our bed is ready for planting in the new year. We are so lucky to have such a creative & imaginative class in room 4, who have been creating some gorgeous artwork to decorate our classroom. Check out the wonderful work & creations we have made so far this year below!

Also, a big shoutout to one of our girls who managed to win us all a pair of socks in a competition she entered!
