This week Room 2 made lots of wonderful patterns by weaving, using peg boards, and even created their own 2D shape bunting for their classroom. At the beginning they put red square, in the middle came green triangle and yellow circle, and at the end came blue rectangle. They experimented with the light from the sun and their torches to create shadows and shadow animals. They painted their faces in art and worked together to make ‘group drawings’ with their new friends at school. Room 2 were also visited by the Junior Infants in Room 1 who taught them a song about Eid, and all the Junior Infants from Rooms 1, 2 and 5 created lovely moon and star displays to celebrate!

This week the children in room 3 had a look at the changes that have happened since they were a baby. The children brought in their baby photos to compare and contrast with what the children currently look like. We even drew pictures of us as a baby and us now to see the differences!

On Tuesday, we walked to the Citywest Hotel bridge. We were collecting information about the vehicles on the street. We call that data. We were counting how many vehicles went under the bridge. We used tally marks to help us record. We had to be very careful on the bridge and walking on the footpath. When we came back to the classroom we drew a graph using the squares in our copies. The cars were the most popular vehicles. Motor bikes, tractors and buses were the least popular vehicles. To view more images click...

First and Second class had a very informative talk from Louise who works for GOAL. GOAL are an organisation that promote the right to basics of life, food, water, shelter, healthcare and literacy. Louise has recently spent some time in Syria and told us all about the devastating situation there that is causing families like you or I to run and flee their lovely homes. She showed us before pictures of the streets of Syria. It was a very beautiful place. Unfortunately now though because of the war people are leaving their country and looking for a safe place to shelter. Here in Citywest & Saggart CNS we are going to help them We are collecting foodstuffs for them and we are going to send them over to them in an airplane. We hope you can help them too!

They have had the opportunity to play lots of interactive games and matching shapes that are the same colour and size . Room 1 worked very hard making their shape crowns and Mrs Swan was so impressed with their shape recognition and matching! For more photos of the children please click...
