2D shape poems

Here are the rhymes we learned to help us remember our 2D shapes:
Tommy Triangle is the name for me,
Count my sides: 1, 2, 3!

Sammy Square is my name,
I have 4 sides, they're all the same!
 

I'm Reggie Rectangle, I am a good sport.
I have 4 sides, 2 long and 2 short!












I'm Cindy Circle,
My side bends,
It's one long curve that never ends!

2D shape

We have recently been learning about 2D shape in maths. Here we are doing some of our maths activities, constructing shapes from different materials.

Triangles.....

.....and squares.

Hedgehogs

We've been learning about Autumn, including animals that hibernate. In art we made these cute, spiky hedgehogs from clay and matchsticks. They're just getting ready for their long winter sleep....

Building bodies!!

We have been learning about parts of the body and The Doctor's Surgery in Aistear. Look at these excellent playdough bodies which Deborah, Kelly and Leo made.

Welcome back!!

Welcome back to school: we are all settled into Room 14 Senior Infants and are looking forward to a busy but fun year ahead.

All smiles from our new Senior Infants in Rm 14

Sports Day

Yesterday we had our school sports day. We did races, traditional yard games, skipping, parachute, relaxation exercises, dance and even got some ice-cream! We had a brilliant day and were all pretty tired by the time we went home....

 Keeping cool with some ice-cream.

 Fantastic skippers - Mellissa and Alan.

 Check out our funky moves at dance!!

Our young athletes - well done Alex, Eivinas, Favour, Karolina and Viktorija for winning medals in the races.

School tour

Last Friday, we went on our school tour to Kilinkere farm. The weather was perfect and were very excited as we all set off on the bus in the morning. We had a super day and got to do lots of fun things - riding a pony, going on a tractor-trailer ride, meeting and feeding animals, playing in the sand area  and playground and even racing up a hill with teacher!!

The rabbits liked Kornel!!

....and Yasmin!

Dylan and Raghad made friends with the gerbil.

Check back later....we may have more photos of our tour for you!
