We have been learning all about space in school. It has been fantastic to see how much knowledge the children already had on space. We love these songs for learning the different planets and some interesting facts about them.
In Aistear, we had lots of fun playing at the space station and making up stories about equipment breaking down, babies in space, and aliens. Repairs had to be down to the outside of the space station and so astronauts had to go outside. We realised there would be problems with people floating away and decided they needed to be tied to the space station before going outside.
In the first week of March, we made our own planets with paper mache. Messy work and not everyone liked the feeling on their hands (or arms/face etc) but we all managed it and were amazed at how hard it got. Last week we painted our planets. A few children made Mars and Earth but mostly we made ones from our imagination. Have a look at our busy work!
Lá Glas
Bhí an spraoi againn ag gleasta suas agus ag obair le rang Ms Kilboy. (We had great fun dressing up and working with Ms Kilboy's class.)
We did a shared art activity, making a pot of gold and a rainbow together. We practiced our colours and used instructions like "Gearr amach..., Pioc suas..." It was great fun and some children even made some lovely headbands and bracelets with the scraps. Half the class were up in Ms Kilboy's room. Here is the half that stayed with me.
