The Bakery

Do You Know The Muffin Man?

This month, our Aistear theme is The Bakery. We created a mind map of everything we already know about the bakery (what? who? why? when?). 

We listened to and performed the song "The Muffin Man" and added our own language for fun (Do you know The Brown Bread Man?). 

We read the story of The Gingerbread Man. We integrated our drama and visual arts learning to this story. Check out the gingerbread men we created in the photographs below!

We introduced sand play into The Bakery so that we could explore and really get into character. This play integrated meaningfully with our Maths learning too. We are learning about capacity. 

Overall, we've had lots of fun baking, creating and imagining. 
What a sweet start to the year!

Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste & Touch

Last month, we spent time learning about our five senses. We listed the senses and identified the parts of our bodies we use for each one. 

We learned a song about the senses, did some outdoor learning and created our own Mr. Potato Head's.

We are proud to have our work on display in our classroom

Trust Me, I'm a Doctor!

In October, our socio-dramatic play theme was the Doctor's Surgery. We watched videos, read stories, and shared our experiences about visiting the doctor. We completed cut and stick activities and learned some poems and songs. 

We developed our language by focusing on what, who, when and why.
Check out some photographs of us in action!

Areas Within Our School

As part of our Geography and S.P.H.E learning, we have been learning about our school. 

We've learned the name of our school and identified some of the adults that work in our school. 

Last week, we discussed and described the different areas in our school and the types of learning we can do there. We listed areas such as the classrooms, yard, library, P.E. hall and more.

We worked in small groups to illustrate one area of our school. First, we used a pencil to illustrate. Then, we used crayon to add some colour. 
Our finished pieces are on display in our classroom. Check them out below!

2D Shapes

We have recently been learning about 2D shapes- circle, square, triangle and rectangle.

We went on a 2D shape hunt around our classroom and school building. We noticed that shapes are everywhere!

We spoke about the different characteristics of each shape. We listened to some songs and played some online games. 

We then integrated our Maths and Visual Arts learning by creating 2D shape robots. We are proud to have our work on display outside our classroom. Check out the photograph below!

Our First Week in Laura's Class

Week one, done. Well done, everyone!
This week consisted of some mindful colouring, The Morning Meeting, circle time and much more.

We focused on our school's Golden Rules and made a commitment to uphold them as best we can. We traced our hands and cut them out as a symbol of this commitment (this also served as a great chance to practice our cutting skills!). Check out the photograph below.

We had a great time on our school tour! We were so lucky that the animals came to us!
We started our day making masks!

After that, we went outside to play! 
We played with chalk, bubbles, paint, space hoppers, footballs and we fished!

We then had our lunch outside! We ate popcorn and drank juice! 

The farm came and we had the best time! We got to hold chicks, rabbits and guinea pigs!
