This term Ash Class have been enjoying Athletics each week with their teacher Ciarán. They demonstrate excellent listening skills with Ciarán, take turns in their teams and always try their hardest even when the activity is a challenge. Today they practiced relay racing with batons and hoola hoops, running over hurdles and some nerf ball over-arm throwing at the end.

A huge thanks to all the families who sent stuff in for junk art this week. We got so many different materials and items to work with! Today we got into pairs and looked at 2 different ways to join and connect items. We got into pairs and started working on our projects. We are making rockets, space stations and even space cars from our imagination!
If you have more materials at home keep sending them in as tomorrow we are going to continue our work and learn another 2 ways to connect items together. The plan is currently to paint on Thursday and then we'll take photos with the finished projects on Friday! This week we began the theme of space during Aistear. Ash class love this theme and have really engaged in all activities. Take a look at some of our activities below.
Today in our athletics lesson we are practicing throwing at targets. If we get a beanbag in the 1st ring we get 1 point, 2 points for the middle ring and 3 points for the last one! We've to throw carefully and then add up all our points!
We're having a super time in Chestnut Class at the moment. We've been dressing up as astronauts and blasting into space to visit our space station. We're painting planets from our imagination after we've looked at lots of pictures of the planets in our solar system! We're also building rockets, space stations and even mars rovers using duplo and magnet blocks!
Congratulations to our Student and Table of the Week! They all worked so hard this week to earn their awards.
On Wednesday, the Chestnut Class started athletics with Ciarán! We had an amazing time hopping, jumping and running. We'll have athletics class every Wednesday for the next term!
We had no Student of the Week awards this week but we still did our Table of the Week in Chestnut Class! Congratulations to the Yellow Table who earned a lot of points yesterday and today by helping others in the classroom! They will keep the trophy at their table for the next week!
Making sets absolutely ground to a halt once we saw the snow! We had to take the opportunity so we got all wrapped up and went outside for 5 minutes to play in the snow!
We've been hard at work over the last 2 days making sets in Chestnut Class. Today we've been practicing figuring out Eoin's secret number from clues and then making sets of that number using our counters!
