We were learning how to form capital K today. The children picked their best 'K'.

Well done to grupa glas who won table of the week!

In Science we were looking at pictures and discussing how we know whether it's day or night, what people do during the day and during the night and which animals and birds come out and night. The children looked through magazines and newspapers to sort pictures of day and night. We made a collage with these pictures.

We painted and decorated these lovely Christmas trees.

We used jar lids, beads and jewels to make Christmas tree decorations or jewellery for our Mothers.

We love Christmas in Room 16. We have a lovely Christmas corner with decorations, sight words and books.

We have been busy using Christmas word mats to write stories. They are all fantastic. Have a look at the slide show below. (Apologies ,I could not turn the image upright!)

Well done to Ryan and Joshua who won 'Neat handwriting' certificates this week. They formed their letters correctly and remembered finger spaces! Check out their lovely writing ...

Comhghairdeas a Winona! Bhuaigh sí Gaeilgeoir na Seachtaine mar bhí sí in ann gach ceist a fhreagair as Gaeilge. Mar shampla: conas atá tú? Cén aois thú? An maith leat Daidí na Nollag? Agus conas a tháinig tú ar scoil? Maith an chailín!

The children are really enjoying the literacy and numeracy activities on this website. Parents can register for free as users. Once you have set up a username and password you can access lots of stories and activities. If you have any questions please ask me after school!

Lucy ladybird has been helping the children work out all the different ways to make 6!

We are all friends in room 16. A good friend is kind to everyone. We made a friendship flower with our handprints. We wrote the names of some of our friends on the fingers of the handprint.
