Winter!

We learned about the signs of winter; animals are hibernating, the weather is very cold and frosty, there are no leaves on the trees, we wear wooly and warm clothes in winter. We learned the 'Winter' song in Alive-O. We observed the signs of winter on our winter walk. 

We created robin redbreasts using crepe paper and crayons!

We listened and responded to the story 'Jack Frost' by creating chalk drawings of the images seen in the book. We did a really great job!!

Visit to the Church

As part of history week we went to visit the local church. We saw statues, stained glass windows and the altar. We blessed ourselves and said a prayer in the church with teacher. We created drawings in our copy when we returned to the classroom. 

Aistear!

We started a new playtime in January called Aistear.  We do different things at each station. We have learned to plan and review our playtime. It is so much fun.

We created lovely imaginative things at the junk art table.

The weather station at the role-play area was really enjoyable too!

We made our own play doe using flour, salt, vegetable oil and food colouring. 

We constructed many interesting things using the blocks- castles, jungles, houses etc. Teacher was really impressed by our imagination. 

Incy Wincy Spider

We learned the rhyme Incy Wincy Spider. We created a spiders web by colouring and cutting spiders and created spiders using paper plates. We made delicious spider cakes too!! We also listened to the story 'The Very Busy Spider' by Eric Carle. This was a great story. 

December

We had great fun in December! 

We were very excited for Santa and we did lots of fun things. We made Christmas trees. We created a nativity scene using shapes, we sequenced the nativity story and we made Rudolf! Catherine came to do Magic of Music with us which was really enjoyable! We had a carol service and Santa came to visit!! Here are some of the things we did!!
