Seeing Double
Today Junior + Senior Infants, 1st + 2nd class enjoyed a Virtual Autumn Farm Tour on a local Dairy Farm.
We are participating in a new virtual farm tour series called “Farming Through the Seasons” by Agri Aware.
We already can’t wait for our winter farm tour!
We made delicious chocolate covered apples this week!Â
It was so much fun.Â
Our classroom smelled like chocolate all day long.
Pumpkin Carving Maths Activity
We had great fun carving a pumpkin today!Â
We counted all the seeds and put then in groups of 2, 5 and 10.
There was 466 seeds in the pumpkin,.
Future Leaders at Work
In Religion we have been learning about the "Law of Love" and why rules are important.
This led us to the question "If you were the leaders of a new country, what would be your top 4 rules."
The children discussed this in pairs and shared their rules with the class. This lead to great conversation amongst the children.
Maths Week Fun
We started the week off with a really fun pumpkin investigation!
100 Square Race! This game is pure luck
We played a simple version of Seduko - 1st class have been working on bonds of 10 so this game was really fun!
