Over the last few weeks in junior 7 Ms Morleys class the children have been busy settling in after their summer holidays. We have been learning about Vincent Van Gogh. We got to dissect a sunflower head to dry out the seed for spring time and that inspired us to paint a sunflower picture just like Van Gogh. We learned that Vincent painted lots of self portraits which depicted the way he was feeling. We also painted a self portrait. We listened to the song Starry Starry Night by Don McLean and worked over 2 days mixing colours on our Starry Night painting. This week we have gone on some nature walks and have gathered some autumn leaves, beechnuts to examine in the class. We hope you like our short video of our lovely pieces on the walls outside junior 7 in Scoil Chormaic. Check out the video
We have had a busy month in Scoil na nÓg, welcoming back two children and four new children joining Eyvonne's Early Intervention Class. Our focus this week was on sensory play. Eyvonne says it is good for our brain development- it helps us to develop problem solving skills, builds our awareness of the properties of materials and how they work, and that it leads to better memory skills. She says that it helps us to develop our language skills, motor skills, play skills and social skills. What do we think? We just think it's fun
This week in Ms. Sammon's Class we did lots of fun learning activities linking with our theme of Halloween. We hope you enjoy this little video showcasing just a snippet of the fun we had!
Pumpkin Play in Preschool with Evelyn During the month of October, we were busy getting ready for Halloween in the preschool. We had lots of fun exploring and learning about pumpkins. We were learning about the colours of autumn, discovering the pumpkins using our 5 senses, reading books about pumpkins and learning out 5 little pumpkin song. It was great fun and we learned a lot!
