This month we’ve been very busy learning all about volcanoes and even made our very own volcanoes using paper maché. Each group worked really well as a team and it was so much fun. We even made our volcanoes erupt! It was very exciting.
We also had the opportunity to visit Ashbourne library where we met Oisín McGann. It was so exciting meeting an Irish author and illustrator.
Here in room 9 we have a room full of mathematicians. As mathematicians we can see maths everywhere! We absolutely loved maths week. It was an extremely busy week for us. On Wednesday we went to the PE hall to play various maths games. It was brilliant! In PE we made 2D shapes using our bodies. On Thursday, during Power Hour we played the card game, snap. It was very amusing! On Friday, we went on a maths trail around the school. It was so much fun. It made us realise how much maths is all around us here in Ashbourne ETNS. This week we created bar charts as a class. We investigated and discovered what our favourite toys are. All in all we had great fun during maths week.
Our Annual Dress Up for Fun Day will take place tomorrow Friday October 27th. Children in all classes can dress up in their favourite fancy dress.
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!

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.
