Back to school!

We are back in action and loving it!! Wow! What a fantastic first few weeks we have had! Can you believe we are already in week four ? 

Since returning to school we have been busy learning some of the new routines such as washing our hands and keeping our distance from friends who are not on our table! We enjoyed a science investigation on the importance of using soap and also learning about place value in maths, ag labhairt as Gaeilge and lots more!

We are just about finished our 'Big Write' and we are very proud of the wonderful writing that we have done on the traditional story of 'The Three Little Pigs'. We loved using puppets to retell the story, creating story maps and we really enjoyed acting the story out in our pods in front of the class. Some of the children were pretty terrifying acting as 'The Big Bad Wolf' and had us all laughing. Take a look at some photos below:

​We are really enjoying doing the 'Daily Mile' and getting lots of active time outside also. We are all set up with our outside gear- wellies, raincoats and a change of clothes so no amount of rain clouds will be stopping us getting outside. In fact, we are hoping to get some rain soon to help us find out if we have any snails in our school ground. One of the things we will be learning about this term are  slippery, slimy snails! 

We also created our own magnificent monsters! We love the ones on Dojo so much we decided we would create our own. We made them really funky using different kinds of lines! Take a look below:
