Autumn
Autumn Autumn everywhere!!!! We started the year off with a beautiful poem on Autumn. This inspired some lovely lessons in Geography, Science and Art. We went on a lovely nature walk and spotted some beautiful signs of autumnal nature. We talked about and learned about some animals who are getting ready for hibernation. We completed some beautiful art pictures too.

Julia Donaldson Books- You really can't beat a bit of Julia Donaldson to put you in good form. Her books are so fabulous and have the ability to open up the children's minds and imagination. Her stories are all supported with beautiful illustrations which the children absolutely love. One of our favourites so far is The Smartest Giant in Town. The children worked in groups to complete pictures of the giant using the fabric and fibre strand in Art. They also picked scenes for the story and wrote about them They did a wonderful job!
Maths Time

A Visit to Arranmore
The children worked in groups the design brochures for Arranmore. We learned all about the beautiful Arranmore island in Geography which inspired us to do project work on different counties in Ireland. The children really enjoyed designing brochures to attract tourists to Arranmore. I really want to go after reading these. They are amazing!

HOMES AND HOUSES
We studied this topic in Geography a couple of weeks back. The children found it very interesting so we decided to develop it by constructing houses of our own. The children worked in groups and did a fantastic job by using an abundance of recyclable materials they found both at home and at school. They absolutely loved this work and became consumed by building their ideal homes. The children worked so well together. It was a pleasure to see. Some of the houses were so big that I even considered moving in!!!!!

What is Treasure?
We learned a beautiful poem called What is Treasure by Pauline Stewart. The children wrote their own poems in response to this. I think we have some future poets on out hands!

Spring has certainly sprung in 4th class with these bright and beautiful pictures. We learned the lovely poem called 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth and the children used paint to create beautiful pictures based on this poem. They certainly brighten up our classroom.

Room to Improve
I think we might have some interior designers on our hands judging by these fantastic pictures. The children designed four rooms in their 'own' houses. They used different fabrics and materials and were thrilled making a mess in the classroom!!!
