Don’t forget, the children are finishing up for their Spring break at 11.30am this Friday, 26th March. They’ll have two lovely weeks off to rest and recharge and will be back to school at 8.30am on Monday, 12th April.
Here are some ideas of activities for families while you’re enjoying your well-deserved holidays!

We are learning how to spell our names in ISL and doing a fantastic job!
We have been looking at the ‘Measures’ strand in Mathematics over the last while.
We have been focusing on ‘Length’. We looked at a variety of objects in our classroom and compared the length of each. We made use of vocabulary such as ‘long’, ‘longer than’, ‘longest’, ‘short’, ‘shorter than’ and ‘shortest’.
We decided to predict how many cubes it would take to measure the length of selected classroom objects. We then tested our predictions in groups . We could not believe how many cubes it took to measure the length of our shoe!! We also couldn’t believe how many lollipop sticks it took to measure the length of our table to different parts of the classroom!
We had great fun exploring our Aistear theme of the Garden Centre this week. We played in the garden centre buying plants and flowers, we enjoyed planting with our soil and tools, we built garden centres with blocks and polydrons and we painted lovely flower gardens!
