First Class
It is in first class that we begin our longer day with two lunch breaks !! We like to play games like "stuck in the mud", "tig", "cops & robbers", "candles" and "41"or "45".We really enjoy Lego, Marla, Barbies, Bingo, Jigsaws, Dinosaurs, Scrabble, Cowboys & Indians, Tanks & Soldiers and we love Prize day.
In Maths we continue with tables for subtraction and move on to "carrying sums". Clocks are important and there is plenty of abacus work with tens & units. We have a recording copy for our nature work and there are lots of daffodils,crocus and tulips to be seen. We also take more nature walks and keep an eye on our bird tables. We have to get our notebooks signed and we do get more homework now that we are in 1st class !!!

Gaeilge -- reading, games and rannta
Alive-O -- C.D. stories
