We have had a fantastic half term. We have been learning about different places and cities around the world. We have learned how to read a map and a globe, what an aerial view map is and how to draw them, we have learned about flags of the world, money, famous buildings and interesting new words like 'population'. We have learned about famous buildings in Dublin and some famous people who live there.
Our learning was really ignited by all the interesting items that the children brought into class from different places in and outside of Ireland. They really sparked wonderful discussions amongst their peers and made our learning more meaningful as the children shared their own experiences. Thank you parents for your help with this.

Dress Up Day
What a fun day we had on Friday celebrating our learning this term. We dressed up in our national dress, flag colours or team jerseys that were of interest to us. Take a look......
Passport to the world...
At the start of the day the children were each given their own "Passport". The idea behind it was that each time the children completed an activity based around a certain country they could add that countries flag to their passport. The children took these passports home with them on Friday so why not take a look at it with your child and ask them about the countries and flags that they know. These are some of the activities we got up to...
Tea with the Queen of England
Pin a magnet on a map......
Can you make a flag out of fruits and vegetables?
