Hands on Maths

Concrete materials provide wonderful learning opportunities and help to consolidate crucial mathematical topics.

Today, Infants worked together to sort objects by colour and then classified according to their type while 1st and 2nd used Numicon to assist them with addition.

Plenty fun was had along the way!

Senior Room Tour 2022

What a day! Our senior room students were able to participate in their very own team build experience. The Teachers have all said how proud they are of the students teamwork and support for one another.

Well done everyone!

Easter 2021

The Senior Room got creative making colourful nests from recycled fabric and filling them with cute little chicks and delicious Easter treats

The Junior Room made Easter decorations for the Easter Rabbit …. we’re sure the bunny came to everyone!

Scavenger hunt!

One of the Junior Room’s absolutely favourite activities is a scavenger hunt! Last week Ann had 1st and 2nd looking for items starting with each letter of the alphabet while Junior and Senior Infants had to find objects of certain colours. They had a great time working together!

Putting the iPads to good use!

1st and 2nd have started using the iPads to reinforce the tables that they are working so hard to learn. One of our favourite websites for all classes which we highly recommend is topmarks.co.uk. The game hit the button is especially excellent for developing speed when it comes to number facts. It hardly feels like work at all!

1st class Maths

One of the best investments we have made in recent years has been in the Maths programme, Numicon. The children absolutely love using the pieces which help reinforce mathematical concepts. Here you will see rang a haon using Numicon to learn about the number 18 and explore the various ways to make that number.

Super Science Week 2020!

Oh how we wish it was Science Week every week!

We did a variety of experiments which were so much fun. Like proper scientists, we wrote our predictions and recorded the results. We did the bubbling potions experiment, put a gummy bear sweet in water for 4 days and created a marble run.

Hard at (literacy!) work

Junior and Senior Infants have been working so hard on their letter names and sounds. They love being challenged so in addition to breaking down words and sounding them out from the ones Eimear writes on the whiteboard, they also spend time writing letters and words on their own individual mini whiteboards and in play doh. They are such hard workers!

Halloween Fun!

We had great fun in school last Friday when everyone dressed up in costumes for Halloween! Luckily it was nice and dry for our parade! There was lots of Halloween themed work done in school all week so a little party was called for before we finished up for our well earned midterm break!

Beebots!

We borrowed a set of Beebots from West Cork Education Centre this week and the boys and girls of 1st and 2nd are having so much fun with them! We definitely have some future computer programmers in our midst!
