Maths Week in the Infant Classroom was a huge success! The children participated in a variety of activities including skip counting from 2 to 30 as they skipped, and marching and jumping to the accompanying music. They also chanted number rhymes with our rhyme of the week being one of our favourites, Two Little Dickie Birds. The children also worked impressively in pairs to engage in our Maths Trail at the end of the week. Well done to all for their participation and effort!!
To celebrate maths week 2018, Ms Atkinson’s class focused on improving their mental maths through various classroom games and activities. We ended our maths week by completing a maths trail inside the school grounds. This allowed children the opportunity to see maths in the world around them. Well done to all of the children for their fantastic effort!
WeDo is a primary education resource developed for primary school pupils as an introduction to control technology and programming using robotics. It’s a fantastic, simple-to-use tool that enables pupils to learn by constructing their own models and bringing them to life.
Ms Atkinson’s class were lucky to have the opportunity to use WeDo numerous times throughout the month of October. Great fun was had by all!
One of our art lessons this October used fabric and fibre. We created Autumn trees that highlighted the various colours that can be seen in Autumn.
On completion of our S.E.S.E. theme ‘Ancient Rome’, Ms Atkinson’s class designed and created their own Roman-inspired pottery using clay.
I’m a little prayer rock, and this is what I’ll do,
Just put me on your pillow, ‘til the day is through.
Then turn back the covers and turn into your bed,
And, whack! Your little prayer rock will bump you on the head.
Then you will remember, when the day is through,
To kneel and say your prayers, as you intended to.
Because your heavenly Father, cares and loves you so,
He wants you to remember, to talk to him, you know!
Can you spot yours?
As part of Maths Week, Mrs McGuirk’s room participated in various events associated with the theme ‘Keeping Active’. Children participated in active number rhymes with actions. We continued with our Malin to Mizen head walking challenge. We participated in number orienteering, passing a ball around a circle in a given time, action counting songs and using body parts and measuring implements to measure different distances! Well done all for your Active Participation!!
