Houses and Homes and a Whole Lot More!

We are learning about different types of houses. So far we have learned about a two-storey house, a bungalow and an apartment.

Some of us have painted houses on white paper.

Some of us have made houses using cardboard boxes.

Next week every child will have created these houses. Wait until you see all these houses displayed in our classroom!

We read the story The Three Little Pigs. Have a listen below.

We are playing with the kitchen in the classroom in the morning. Rocaí Rua calls this "an chistin."

Spring Walk

We went on our spring walk this week. We looked out for the signs of spring. We looked for flowers growing, buds on trees, leaves growing out from the buds, nests in trees, chicks in nests, baby animals and the animals that have woken from their long sleep.

Look at what we saw on our walk.

The convent gardens are so pretty this time of year.

We drew some pictures of our walk.

This girl drew a picture of a nest and eggs when she had the writing box. Didn't she do a great job?

Writing

We learned to write the letter b this week.

You start at the top and go straight down, down, down to the line, you go back up to the middle, bend it over and close it.

Number 3

We have the number three and sets of three up on our wall.

We learned the rhyme The Three Little Kittens. Have a look at the video below.
