We love using playdough as a fine motor activity. Our new favourite exercise is playdough disco! We love to squeeze our playdough, pat it, pinch it, roll it and to pass it around our hands. We’ve been working on creating Autumn signs and animals out of playdough using rollers and cutters of different shapes and sizes. Teacher is so amazed by our fabulous imagination!
We turned back the clock and played lots of games from the past. Elastics was our favourite.
We worked very hard creating beautiful self portraits using oil pastels.
We enjoyed our first music lesson with Bergie. We practised our listening skills by responding to a piece of music through movement. We walked, marched, jumped and tip-toed to the music! We also listened and responded to the poem Spring by Vivaldi and accompanied the poem with percussion instruments.
We had our first GAA training session of the year with coach Fearghal. We practised passing and receiving, kicking and soloing the ball with our friends. It was great fun!
We really enjoyed our first PE lesson this year. We practised our throwing and catching skills using beanbags.
We learned about the famous artist Wassily Kandinsky. He used colours and shapes in his paintings. One of his most famous paintings is called Squares with Concentric Circles. This painting inspired our art lesson. We created these beautiful trees with concentric circles.
We drew fantastic self portraits. We used oil pastels to colour them.
This week we learned about things that are red. We read Mr Strong who is red, painted him and made a list full of things that are red, such as strawberries, roses, paint, the inside of a watermelon, our t-shirts and cherries.
