New Topic and Sounds

Today we learned all about the people who can help us in an emergency.

In Aistear this week we will be creating a Garda Station in our classroom and investigating crimes and looking for clues.

Here is a cartoon all about the vehicles and emergency services who help us.

Welcome back!

Hi Everyone, welcome back to Term 3, I hope you had a lovely break! I was away with the 6th class children for the last three days in Coláiste Uisce and I was told that my class have already been working hard and are ready for a busy few weeks before we finish for the summer :) Here are some important dates to note for the coming weeks. Next week - Monday 1st & 2nd Of May the school is closed May 8th the school is closed May 9th is our school tour June 2nd & 5th school is closed June 16th Class Assembly The homework has changed slightly in that the phonics and sound out words are being replaced by reading from our Wandsville, class readers. We hope to cover the three readers this term, so that means reading practice every night. It is only one page per night, lots of repetition and learning with the visual help of the pictures so no need to worry. You will have seen on the note that went home...

'a, a, ants on my arm!'

Today we learned all about the sound... Our rhyme for this sound goes like this - 'Curve around, up like a helicopter, bump, back down and kick.' We made sure to check our classroom for things beginning with the 'a' sound so you could have a look around and see if you can spot anything beginning with 'a' outside school! Here is the song for this sound. We have also been practicing our tricky word, 'the', and trying to find it hiding in different places around the classroom!
