We rolled the grease proof paper and stapled them to form cylinders. We then punched holes in them so we could attach the string to make handles. We each got a battery operated tea light. They look great!!

Halloween Lanterns

We were looking at construction in art so we decided to make Halloween lanterns.  Firstly, we cut out leaves and pumpkins using paper and scissors. Then, we glued them onto grease proof paper. Next week we will finish them. Keep an eye out to see the finished product!

We had a theatre group come to the school and preform 'A Little Princess'. It was absolutely fantastic. We all enjoyed the wonderful performance.

We went outside to collect different materials around the school grounds.We worked in groups collecting stones, twigs and leaves. We then came back into the classroom and sorted out our collection.

We are looking at length this week in Maths. We are looking at how we measure things and what units we use. We worked in pairs and measured lots of different things in the classroom - the width of the door, the length of the teachers desk, the length of the floor and many more things. We had a great time!

Estimation Station
Each week we estimate the amount of items in the tub. Then we put all the estimates in order. Whoever gets the best estimate gets to fill the tub for the next week.

We designed our very own Christmas cards. It was really exciting. We came up with lots of ideas. Judi sent them off to the printers so we will get them back in time to send them out for Christmas.

Rice Krispie Buns

We made Rice Krispie Buns at school! We discussed the steps needed to make Rice Krispie Buns and we made them in the staff room. We needed to be very careful because we melted the chocolate using the hob. We read about 'The Story of Chocolate' and used this opportunity to use chocolate and make something delicious!! We mixed in marshmallows and smarties. We are looking at the different writing genres this year so we decided it would be a good time to practice procedural writing. Everyone did a great job!!

Table Quiz

After we completed and presented out projects on the locality we had a table quiz to see how much information we could remember. We had so much fun! The winning team got a prize!

Art Work

This month we drew self portraits and they turned out great! We used lots of different fibers and fabrics to complete our pictures. We also made colour wheel eyes! We put all our work on display and it really brightens up the classroom and corridors.

Materials 

 We used the school grounds to look for different materials. We found lots of different materials like wood, metal, plastic and rubber. We also discussed why different things were made from different materials. It was great fun to get out and about on such a sunny day! 

Our Projects

Our projects are displayed in our classroom. We are going to invited other classes into our classroom to have a look at them. Ms Butterly and Dolores were so impressed with our work!

Our Locality

We completed projects on our locality. Most of us worked individually but some of us worked in pairs. We discussed ideas at school after looking at our locality a little closer. We came up ideas like Seapoint Beach, St. Fechíns GAA, Carstown House, Drummond Garlic, Seapoint Golf Club, Beaulieu House, Surterrains, La Pizzeria and many more. Ms Butterly and Dolores were so impressed with all the projects. We presented them to the class and we had a table quiz on all the projects! It was so much fun!

We started off the year but looking at how unique and wonderful we all are. We chatted about all the different interests and talents in our class! We decided to write about how unique we all are and displayed our work! It really added colour to our room!
