Poetry "My Magic Umbrella"
Today we wrote poems about magical umbrellas.
It was lots of fun!
Tomorrow we will edit our poems. We will check our spellings and make sure we use capital letters and full stops.
Check our blog tomorrow to read some of our wonderful poems. Múinteoir Sinéad thought they were amazing!
Care of Henry
We have started reading our first class novel, Care of Henry.
So far we have analysed the characters Mrs. Mariposa, Hugo and Hugo's Granny. We have compared the characters and made lists to describe each character.
We are learning a new reading strategy at the moment, "Creating Images". Múinteoir Sinéad read us a passage from the book, without showing us the pictures, and we imaged the scene she was describing to us.
We created images for Hugo's house and Uncle Jack's apartment.

We have started our spring display.
Tens and Units (addition)
Today we were learning how to add big numbers!
We used the tens and units to help us.
We had lots of fun!

Show & Tell
Every Friday we have "Show and Tell".
We are allowed to bring in our favourite toys, photographs, teddy bears or special things to show our friends.
The rest of the class ask us questions about our special things.
Some of our favourite questions are;
- where did you get it?
- why do you like it?
- how does it work?
- who bought it for you?
- does it have a name?
We ask who, what, where, when and why questions.
Show and tell is a great way to help us answer questions and practise asking questions.
