1st & 2nd Class Ms Guing/Ms Hassett
Our Minibeast Hunt
We decided to make the most of the sunshine today and go on a minibeast hunt. We searched everywhere and recorded where each insect was found. The girls knew all of the names of the insects and were able to share interesting facts about each one.

Drumming Workshops
First & second class are really enjoying the drumming workshop. They are having lots of fun using different percussion instruments and learning the difference between beat and rhythm.
The Girls made beautiful flowers for Grandparents day. They had a fantastic day.
Beautiful Sunflowers
The girls worked very hard on their Van Gogh-inspired sunflowers. We drew the flowers step by step and used bright oil pastels to colour them in. We then used black oil pastel around the edges to make them stand out.

Road Safety
We have been learning about road safety and maps. The girls have explored familiar road signs as well as simple maps. We looked at what the symbols on maps mean and created some of our own.

First and Second class are enjoying learning about the weather. They have recorded the weather each day as they update the class weather station and have also explored some interesting non-fiction books about the weather. The girls have also observed and learned about the different types of clouds as well as the water cycle. They have certainly been very busy!!!
The girls have been exploring print making in art. We have learned how to do marbling using shaving foam and food colouring. The results were just amazing!!
Camogie Training
First and second class are working hard on their camogie skills. They are learning how to hand-pass, dribble and pass the ball. Keep it up girls!!
