Today everyone in First Class got a certificate for their amazing effort to eat fruit and vegetables over the last few weeks. We have the Food Dudes Wall Chart in our classroom and we fill it in everyday to keep track of our fruit and veg! We definitely have been eating more fruit and vegetables since we started the Food Dudes programme.
Well done to these children who have read 50 books from the class library so far this year. Keep up the good reading!
Today we learned that in olden times people had to use up all the ingredients that would go-off during Lent so they made pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday. Teacher brought in pancakes for everyone to celebrate Shrove Tuesday also known as Pancake Day and they were delicious!
'Magic' visited our classroom today! Magic is a Greyhound and she came with her owner Paul from Dogs Trust. Paul told us all about dogs and what they need and don't need. Did you know that chocolate can be poisonous for dogs? He told us that Magic is a very fast dog but she can be very lazy too so we were very lucky that she came to see us today! We learned how to be 'Dog Smart' and we got stickers too!
First Class walked to our local post box today to post our Valentine's cards. Last week we watched a video on the An Post website and learned how the letters get delivered from the post box to people's houses in just one day. Imagine the people at An Post work during the night when we are in bed! We learned that a computer reads the addresses on the envelopes so we had to write in our neatest handwriting. We hope all the Mammies and Daddies get a lovely surprise for Valentine's Day!
First Class are doing gymnastics in PE. For the last few weeks we've been doing travelling, balancing and rolling activities. We've learned how to do the pencil roll, the tucked roll and the Teddy Bear roll. We are getting much better at our balances too. Today we practiced our balances and rolls at stations. Teacher helped us with the forward roll at one of the stations.
