Maths - Length

26/2/2013

 
We used our Tír na nÓg map to learn about length.  We measured the distance between Oisín and the castle, Oisín and the playground, Oisín and the forest and Oisín and Niamh using cubes. We estimated the distance in first and then checked it using cubes.

Picture
It is Spring so the daffodils will start to appear in our gardens soon. We were learning about all the different parts of the daffodil - the bulb, the roots, the stem, the leaves, the petals and the trumpet. This boy brought in his Dad's trumpet to show us how the trumpet in the daffodil got its name! . Everyone loved seeing and hearing the trumpet!

The church is a special place. We were learning about the altar, candles which show God is all around us and the baptisimal font where we were baptised. Thank you to the children who brought in photographs of their baptism. We have them on display in the classroom.

Picasso cubism

We looked at and discussed the Picasso painting, 'Girl with Dark Hair'. We talked about the shapes, the colours and said whether or not we liked it. Then we used oil pastels and paint to make our own Picasso inspired portrait.
