November was a busy month in Seomra a Dó.
We began the month by marking All Soul's Day. We created a flower for our Garden of Remembrance to remember loved ones who have passed away. We enjoyed making mittens using tissue paper to keep us warm during the colder weather of winter.
For Science week we carried out lots of fun experiments! We submerged gummy bears in water, vinegar and salty water overnight. We were amazed to see the effects the following morning with a significant increase in bear size! We constructed bridges using different materials and tested which bridge was the strongest for the Billy Goats to cross. We enjoyed observing all the colours of the rainbow during our skittles experiment.
This month's 'Puzzle Friday' was spent using a variety of materials to create shape pictures and tangrams. We used matchsticks, 2-D shapes, lollipop sticks, cubes and straws in our work. We followed up this work by drawing a shape picture at home and uploading it to our Class Dojo portfolio. Well done everybody!
This week Dublin Zoo came to our classroom! We enjoyed a very informative interactive Zoom call with Dublin Zoo and learnt all about elephants, lions, snow leopards and many more!
The end of November marked the beginning of Advent. Each child traced around their hand, cut it out and added it to our classroom wreath. We as a class will be making a effort to be kind during this special time.
Well done to all in Seomra a Dó!
