We are looking at the theme of food (Bia) in Irish this month. We have been focusing on the three phrases “Is maith liom _______” (I like), “Ní maith liom ________” (I don’t like), and An maith leat _______? (Do you like ______?) Have a listen to the rhyme we learned “An maith leat cáis?” (Do you like cheese?) We also played shop through Irish and welcomed the medical center into our room.

Room 2 have had another busy week, making lots of sets and patterns, sorting 1, 2 and 5 cent coins, reading and acting out ‘The Gruffalo’ with their strong speaking voices and learning all about the Autumn season. They learnt a new song about the colours of the Autumn Leaves and created lovely Autumn animals and trees with leaves! Room 2 have also been learning about electricity, and the dangers associated with it, and were visited on Friday by Katie from the Road Safety Authority who gave them high-vis jackets and taught them the Safe Cross Code! They have also been learning about their 5 senses (eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, nose for smelling, tongue for tasting and hands for touching!), and did a taste test identifying salty, sugary, bitter and sour food – some of which they liked 🙂 more than others 🙁 ! To see more pictures of their Autumn Adventures this week please see...
