Room 2 have had a hands on week- exploring the theme of the 5 Senses and playing with lots of fabric and fibre materials. They made wonderful textured hands and came up with a great list of words to describe how their materials felt- soft, rough, smooth, bumpy! They have also been learning lots about animals this week, the kind that are found in the pet shop and those that are found on the farm (Old MacDonald is their favourite!) and have even begun to learn about animals that hibernate in Winter. They also made lovely ‘Guess How Much I Love You? ‘ hugging-hands for their parents, using long instead of short string to show how much they love them (LOTS!) and are getting really good at putting their hands into the mála draíochta and figuring out ‘Cad atá sa mhála?’ i nGaeilge! To see more photos of these busy hands at work please...

What an exciting and interesting week we had in Room 8! The boys and girls in Room 8 were studying the life of a famous nurse named, Florence Nightingale. This week, we learned loads about Florence Nightingale and her life as a nurse. Did you know that When Florence Nightingale returned to Great Britain she set up a school of nursing? Some of the students in room 8 would like to be a nurse so they can assist people just like Ms. Nightingale did. Using items which were used during the time of Florence Nightingale, we set up our very own Museum in our classroom. We couldn’t believe that the tall porcelain objects were in fact hot water bottles. Look at the picture and investigate our many...

This week we heard the story of the boy who cried wolf. We found some pictures of the story but they were all mixed up! We worked with our elbow buddy to put the pictures in the right order. Please look at our pictures outside the classroom. Ms Harney recorded some of us re-telling the story. Here are some of these stories: https://cscns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/VOICE004.mp3 https://cscns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/VOICE003.mp3 https://cscns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/VOICE002.mp3 Please click here to see more...

Room 2 have had a very busy week, singing their hearts out in preparation for their Welcoming Ceremony, making lovely Diwali candles for Inter-Belief Week at Citywest & Saggart CNS, and exploring the theme of ‘The Pet Shop’. They sorted out animals at the Pet Shop, selected their favourite one, and played ‘shop keeper’ and ‘customer’ with their 1 , 2 and 5 cent coins. They made wonderful Gruffalo puppets with fabric and fiber materials, sang and acted out Baa Baa Black Sheep and sorted his bags of wool for him. Room 2 are getting really good at comparing sets to see which has more and which has less, and figuring out what needs to be done to make them the same. Well done Room 2 on another busy but brilliant week, and a huge thanks to all those who made it to the Welcoming Ceremony. For more photos of their busy week please...
