This week the focus was on letter formation. We are working hard and the children are really showing steady progress.

The children always enjoy learning through song. Here we are practicing our irish.

We also did some more exploring weight. The children are becoming really familiar with the concept of weight and we had some interesting discussions how we should sort objects around the room into order according to their weight. Lightest to heaviest. We also learnt that bigger doesn't away mean heavier.

Some more fun discovering through reading! We spotted lots of letters that we recognised. Also the children are encouraged to start to blend their sounds to read words on their own. Reading has really become a time to share opinions and interests together as friends.

This week marked the end of the month's topics. We had great fun learning about Winter, clothes, the Artic and weight and lots else. But we're excited to move onto all things new too. Below are a selection of fun videos of the children playing. Enjoy!

Homework was excellent as always. Great to see the children working so hard on their numbers and adding interesting patterns to their colouring. Well done everyone! 

To finish off this week's blog I am delighted to be able to show you a little video that really shows just how fantastic each and every child in my class is. I was extremely proud of how they managed to perform this PE exercise to such an excellent  standard. They do you proud moms and dads!

It was lovely to see all the moms and dads at the PTMs on Monday. I am glad to hear that your little ones are so happy in school. That's all any of us want for our children. Next month we will be moving onto the topic of 'Transport'... if anyone has any old toy cars, busses, boats, trains, airplanes etc I would greatly appreciate them to add to our play. That's it for this week. Have a great weekend.

Kind Regards,
Ms Murray

Saoirse has been going around the house with a small note pad constantly practising her letters, tonight she was writing Dad, it brought a smile on my face. She was delighted as we were to see her home sheet on the blog. Thanks again for everything, Ray & Serene

Awww, that's lovely to hear that she is having fun writing. We have added lots of writing activities into their Aistear now too, so they are getting plenty of practise! Keep it up Saoirse!
