The children in Sarah C's first class have been working so hard on lots of new learning! In December, First Class were working on narrative writing, and each child dictated a story to Sarah C, and then wrote it out themselves in their own little book! The class really enjoyed reading their own stories to each other on pyjama day!
In Maths class, First Class were learning about money, and using money to count in 2's and 5's and 10's. The children really enjoyed working together and playing shopkeeper with their own imaginary shops!
The children were also learning about pattern and algebra, working together to put all the pieces in the right place of the puzzle.
First Class were learning about Length also, and used Maths books and other non-standard measurements such as pencils to measure things in our classroom. The children really enjoyed this. They also enjoyed lining up from shortest to tallest, or tallest to shortest in their pods!
The children love Gaeilge in Sarah C's class and they are very good at asking questions and answering them.
Here are some photos of Sarah C's First Class enjoying their Golden Time on a Friday! The children have been working on lining up and when they have a Golden Line, they earn steps up the Golden Ladder and every time they get to 10, they earn 5 minutes Golden Time for Friday. There has been a wonderful improvement in the line since term 1, so keep up the Golden good work! Well done!
