1st & 2nd Class have had a very busy September!
 

Throughout the month, we explored lots of different areas including Art, Maths, Music, English, Gaeilge and SESE. On our very first day back, the children wrote about their favourite summer memory.

In Art, we experimented with colour mixing and created beautiful bird artwork. The children also designed Lego Portraits as part of our Self-Portrait work and explored Cubism to create striking Autumn Trees.

We have been paired with ‘Reading Buddies’ from 3rd and 4th Class, who come to help and listen to the children read. The boys and girls have really enjoyed reading with their buddy!

Our September theme was Autumn. In English, the children learned about the four seasons, with a special focus on Autumn. In SESE, we discovered different types of trees and even went on a tree hunt outside, collecting leaves to create colourful ‘leaf rubbings’.

In Gaeilge, our theme was Mé Féin. The children learned vocabulary for the parts of the body and how to talk about their feelings in Irish.

We also celebrated International Dot Day this month. The children each created their own dot artwork to show how everyone can use their creativity to “make a mark” in the world!
