During September we got to know each other by focusing our learning around the theme of 'The Birthday Party'. We practiced saying the date of our birthday, revising the months of the year, days of the week and using the calendar. We got creative making origami using the language of ordinal number, first to tenth, while also making bunting and party hats for our role play area.

For the month of October we got to learn about the different types of houses through the theme of 'The Estate Agents'. We've also being practicing our chest passes in PE, going on autumn walks, learning coding through Scratch and taking part in fun Music Generation activities every Wednesday where we learn to use percussion instruments.

Welcome back after our spring break!

On Thursday 22nd April it was World Earth Day and to celebrate this we performed at last weeks junior assembly. You can check it out here!

Here are photos of a some activities we have been doing since March! We have been learning all about the plants and animals, especially the ones native to Ireland.

This is also a nice activity to promote positive thinking!

​For Pancake Tuesday, we each brought in €2 and got a pancake and a topping of our choice! The money collected was donated to the Australian Bushfires Appeal. We were glad we could play our part in helping in a small way. Fé mar a deirtear: "Ní neart go cur le chéile" - there is no strength without unity! 
Thank you to all those who were involved in organising such a wonderful morning (PTA, Green School Committee and Student Council). 

​Welcome to First Class Green classroom blog! 
We will post updates about what we are learning about and what's happening in our classroom! Here we were all super excited to have the Sam Maguire cup come to visit us in November!
