Ms. Dervan's 4th & 5th class

 This week we are exploring the Santa's workshop theme in Aistear and are having lots of fun at the different stations: sand, role play, art and construction. The children came up with great Christmas stories at the sand station and they made very colourful stockings at the art station. They also created a very cool Christmas sleigh for Santa at the construction station and worked very hard in the post office.       

Last week in Art, we made lots of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. We love seeing them up in the corridor to put us in the festive spirit. 

We have been learning about the three primary colours - red, yellow and blue and had some fun painting with these primary colours. 

This week the whole school having been taking part in our Green Team Action Day. This involves using recycled materials and working collaboratively to make a wind powered vehicle. It was lots of fun and we are thankful to some helpers from Ms. Mitchell's classroom who helped us make our vehicles. We then had a race and we have two finalists ready to compete in the whole school race on Friday.         

 It's Science Week! We are having lots of fun doing Science experiments in Junior Infants and taking part in some STEM challenges. We enjoyed doing the dancing raisins experiment and made lava lamps too! 

We are learning about patterns in Junior Infants. We had lots of fun creating patters in our classroom using lots of different toys and materials.
