First Class have really enjoyed Maths Week. We did lots of Maths activities: we played a Shape Race game, we played a numbers game in PE, we did lots of work with cubes, we read stories that included maths, and we even did a Maths Trail around the school in teams! Today we read a story about a survey and then we conducted our own surveys in the class, using tallies. It’s been great fun and we are all using our Maths Eyes everywhere we go!
During the months of September and October Tony’s class were very busy settling into the new school year. We learned all about the season of Autumn. We played lots of games and joined in some hurling coaching sessions. We sang some action songs like “Tony chestnut” and heard some lovely stories like “The gingerbread man” and “Chicken licken”. Have a look at the lovely photos below to see how much fun our classroom is.
Recently we had an outdoor assembly where we sang and danced as a whole school to celebrate a few important events in Harcourt Terrace E.T.N.S. We all sang “If you’re happy and you know it” while stamping our feet and clapping our hands. Of course there were a few important birthday milestones in the school which we marked too. A huge thank you to Ronnie who provided the wonderful music from her guitar which we all enjoyed. Check out the lovely photos below.
Lori & Dan treated us all to some ice-cream after we toured our gorgeous new building. Now to get down to the hard work of setting up these clean, empty rooms to make them the best classrooms in Dublin! We can’t wait to see you on Tuesday 31st of August!
Don’t forget we’re lining up at the FRONT of the building beside the library’s accessible entrance ready for school to start at 8.30am on Tuesday morning.
We were very sad to say goodbye to our principal Niamh Cullen on Friday 25th June. We gathered in the yard for a whole school assembly to honour all that Niamh has done for us since we opened in September 2018. It’s been an amazing three years with Niamh at the front and center of our gorgeous school community. All the best to you Niamh on your new journey with Gracepark ETNS. Looking forward to inviting you back for the big official opening of our permanent school building in Harcourt Terrace in a couple of short years’ time. You’ll be missed.
Senior Infants have been exploring the capacity of water and rice using various containers. We first chose a container to measure with and then we estimated how many of that container would fit in another container. We were right nearly every time!
We have had such a fun time learning all about the babies these past few weeks! We played in the role play area as doctors, mums, dads, nurses and sister or brothers taking care of babies, we made baby cribs and babies to put in them, we took care of the babies by washing them and putting clothes on them. We build lots of things for babies in the construction and playdoh area too! Our favourite books were Mog and the baby and Everywhere babies!
We are really enjoying our hurling coaching in the sunshine with Jenny!
