First Day of School
The first day of school
Can be hard for Mom and Dad.
Part of you feels excited,
The other part feels sad.
For many years you’ve held their hand
And have been their loving guide.
Now you know the time has come
To leave them by my side.
But it is only for a little while,
As your child will learn and grow.
And at the end of every day
They will share with you all they know.
So as you walk away
Don’t worry anymore.
I’ll take care of your little one
When you leave them at my door.
From Ms. Hartnett

October
Games for practising sounds!
Rhyming game
We are learning to hear rhyming words. Play the game below to practice. Say the words together. Identify words that rhyme/odd one out.
Autumn Walk
We went on a walk with our Buddies to look for signs of Autumn. We saw fallen leaves, conkers, conker husks and acorns. We each made a special wish at the Hugging Tree with our Buddy. We couldn't tell anyone our wish as then it wouldn't come true! We collected our signs of Autumn in a bag and examined our bags when we came back to school. We recorded what we found back in the classroom and drew pictures of what we saw, smelt, felt and heard. We really enjoyed our day and can't wait to go back to the Hugging Tree for our next walk.
Making Patterns
Science - Shades of colour
In our Science lesson we looked at the different shades of red, blue, green and yellow. We sorted the shades from darkest to lightest.

Colour Hunt
In our Science lesson we went on a colour hunt around the school. We marked off the colours as we saw them. We were looking for red, green, yellow, blue, purple and orange. We also passed some objects on the way and we had to remember what colour they were when we came back to the classroom.

Taste - SPHE
We investigated our sense of taste using our tongue. We tasted a lemon (bitter), natural yoghurt (sour), crackers (salty) and jelly tots (sweet). You will never guess what our favourite taste was?!! Take a look at our facial expressions.....
Gymnastics |
We are enjoying gymnastics every Wednesday! We are learning lots and improving each week.
Our School This month we are getting to know our school and the people who work in Scoil Bhride. We met Anke our secretary, Cathal our caretaker and Ms. Dorgan our vice principal. We stopped at Mrs. Howard's office too. We saw the staffroom where the teachers have their lunch. We were very excited to see all the classes upstairs. We saw St. Brigid's cross and our teacher read us the Golden rules. What sound does a snake make? |
