Dance

We have been doing Dance as our P.E. topic and here are the children doing The Cuckoo Dance from Austria today! They are super dancers. 

STEM Stations

We had very busy STEM stations today!

Science: Walking Water Experiment-the food dye traveled from one cup to the other thanks to capillary action

Technology: Typing Club

Engineering: Construction different rooms of the house using our junk art supplies

Maths: Playdough boards to revise telling the time

Estate Agents

Many thanks to Thomas Potterton who allowed us to visit his estate agents in Trim! He spoke to us about the different jobs an estate agent or auctioneer has and showed us the things he uses for his job. We got to see the properties he has for sale and got a special estate agents goodie bag! We learned loads for Aistear! 

THANK YOU! 

Christmas Post Office

We have been having a lot of fun in our Christmas Post Office Aistear this week! 

Table 1: Christmas Small World

Table 2: Art-paper plate Christmas trees and doing the art for our Sweden projects

Table 3: The Post Office- The children were very busy wrapping presents, writing letters and buying stamps to post them to the different addresses all around our classroom!

Table 4: The Theater- last week the children did the Nativity story and this week they were allowed to create their own Christmas stories. They had to make up the story, write the script, make the puppets and practice before they put on the show. The stories were brilliant-Why There Was a Llama on Santa's Sleigh, The Lost Christmas Tree, Frozen 3 and Santa's Worst Nightmare!

Aistear is a great way to use vocabulary, practice reading and writing, develop social skills and cover a lot of curriculum subjects in a fun and informal way!

An Post

Many thanks to Edel and all the staff at Trim Post Office for letting us visit today! Edel spoke to us about the different services post offices provide and Emma, who was behind the desk, sold us some stamps! We even posted a letter! The trip will help us to prepare for our Christmas Post Office role play next week!

Senior Room Games

Many thanks to the Senior Classroom who designed and created brilliant magnetic games for the Juniors and Seniors! It was great for us to see STEM in action in a fun way! The games were really brilliant!
