Fall into Autumn in Rm 5!

Wow! Look at these wonderful leaves! Thank you to everyone who brought in leaves for our class this week and we got some fabulous conkers and pinecones too. With your support we can make our learning so much fun and far more visually stimulating for the children. Way more interesting seeing things in real life than just looking at them in a book! Keep them coming :) 

Nature Walk

What better way to start learning about the seasons and autumn than to take a trip out of the classroom and head on a nature walk! We collected some leaves and twigs and helicopters to add to our Aistear play stations.

Maths

We continue to learn about patterns all around us and here we are making some random patterns. We had great fun! Scroll through the photos below to see your little ones! 
We have also been learning about sets and how to group objects that belong together. We talk about why they belong together.

DEAR Time 

Reading time have never been soooo inviting! Thank you to our wonderful caretaker Tom who is always more than obliging to help us by sawing our plastic lid in half to create a table for each box. Let's hope the children don't grow too much lol!

Aistear

So we have been setting up our new Aistear stations this week and the children have been full of wonderful ideas. I sent a note home on Friday about resources we will need over the next topic but please, don't feel under any pressure and a few leaves will completely suffice!

The Hibernation Station makes the perfect little snug for reading and play. Full of all the colours of autumn.

Our Autumn Woodland is perfect for going on a nature hunt!

Our furry little autumn friends are perfect for encouraging the children to use their topical language. On Monday I will be sending the children home with a list of topical language, it would be greatly beneficial to their learning if you could practice vocabulary with your child.

Conker Hunt - We bring maths into our Aistear by searching for conkers, we count our set and the winner is the person who has collected the most. Who said maths wasn't FUN!

Play doh is always a favourite with the children.

Ah super, it's great to see them enjoy nature and Autumn is the best season for bearing interesting fruits! Although, there won't be much left after tomorrow I fear!
