No Hibernating in Room 10!
Wow! We continued to learn lots this month in 1st class. We spent time learning about Autumn- we used autumnal colours in Art, and even went on a fun Autumn nature trail. We knew what to look out for, as we spent time discovering, investigating and analysing the different tree types and their leaves in Science. We brought many amazing signs of autumn back to our class nature table. Each child walked with their partners and were fantastic remembering and practising the ‘Safe Cross Code’, when walking close to roads.
We also took part in a fun-filled maths week, and we realised that maths is all around us in the environment. We have fantastic ‘Maths Eyes’ in Room 10, Deirdre was so proud of all of the children. We constructed 2D shape pumpkins and houses, and we collected data during group work, and represented this data on block charts. Did you know we have 34 super mathematicians in Room 10? ( That’s 33 children and 1 teacher! 🙂 )
We hope you all have a lovely midterm break!

October in Robert’s class
We’ve had a very busy month here in Robert’s Senior Infants.
We’ve been working very hard at our Literacy Power Hour and our Maths activities each morning and earned lots of stamps for our good work.
We had great fun for Maths Week and discovered that maths isn’t just something we do in school each day but it’s all around us in the environment. We went on a maths trail around the school investigating and counting.
This week we’ve been learning a bit about Autumn. We looked at Oak trees, Horse Chestnut trees and Sycamore trees. We had lots of fun with the sycamore Helicopters.

Michael’s Amazing 4th class making Volcanoes.
Michael’s fantastic fourth class have been studying Ancient Rome and all about Mt. Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii in Italy. We decided to design our own Volcanoes using paper machee. The children are currently decorating them and they are really looking forward to their Science experiment where they will be trying to get their volcano to erupt.

Maths Week 2017
Last week was Maths Week at Ashbourne ETNS. We had lots of Maths based fun happening around the school. Children played card games in class, went on Maths trails around the school and played big Maths games in the hall.
