We had an event packed week in Rm 5. The week got off to a great start with the Spring Service. Everyone worked really hard to prepare for it and the Service was a great success. Together all the junior infants brought the walls to life with all signs of spring. It was lovely to see parents and grandparent who were able to make it. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Maths - It's All About The Money!
|
We have been learning about these little copper coins. We discussed what is different about them (size, numbers). It is interesting to note that when the children were asked which of these amounts would buy me more in a shop, everyone have their reasons for picking one or the other. The commons misconceptions where that the 5c coin would buy more because it is a bigger coin or the five 1c coins would buy more because there are more coins. Interesting. Try to take any opportunity to talk about money when visiting the shops and maybe give the children a chance to hand the money to the shop keeper and wait for the change.

Favourite Book Day
The children had a lovely Favourite Book Day in rm5. Ms Murray read out some of the books during the day using her best funny character voices! The children had lots of DEAR time and the where really happy to read for enjoyment and share with their friends.
Hand Writing
As we continue to improve our hand writing, we are returning our focus to the letters we have already learnt. Each week we have two letters we focus on, this week it was m and p. When we have done a little writing practice we write our very best work into our special writing copies.
Well done to these super homework superstars!
What lovely rainbows and pots of gold.
