Autumn walk: Ms. Comer's class

2011-09-20T19:13:00.002+01:00

We have been learning a lot about Autumn in class and today we went on a nature walk where we observed many of the signs of Autumn. In particular we saw the changes in the colours of the leaves. We saw lovely shades of red. orange, yellow and brown and observed how many leaves were beginning to fall down and wither. We also collected some conkers, horse chestnut leaves, ash leaves, helicopters and some blackberries and brought them back for our nature table.We also saw raspberries but there were in someone’s garden so we didn’t pick them, we just took pictures instead.

P.E. at the park!

Today we decided to make the most of the fine weather we were having, so for P.E. we went to the park. It was great fun and we also got plenty of exercise by walking there and back and by climbing the ropes and monkey bars! Hopefully the good weather will continue!

Growing our own vegtables!

We are looking forward to looking after them and watching them grow. We planted lettuce and parsnips.

Today we made flags and banners, wrapped up and went out to support the Senior School as they paraded around Renmore. We saw some of our brothers, sisters, some friends and even someone’s mum! Hopefully next year most of us will be playing in the band and some of the girls might even be majorettes!

Brigit's Garden

Big day out for Junior Infants

We visited Brigit's Garden on the 15th of June. We were very excited!! We went on the bus on Tuesday morning. We learned lots in Brigit's Garden and played lots of exciting games. We all made stinky potions using all the herbs in the garden. Kay our guide gave us magic paper to colour and make a wish using the colours and then we put it on a magic wishing branch. The branch is now in our garden outside the classroom.

We really enjoyed working as scientists.

We went fishing for pond creatures. Then we studied and examined the creatures we caught in special dishes . We were very gentle with them and put them back when we had examined them. We really enjoyed this part!

We had a great day.

We had lots of events, sprints, potatoe and spoon and the crawling race. There are lots of fantastic athletes in our class and we did very well winning lots of prizes. Everyone had great fun taking part and we all won an ice pop at the end of the day for taking part.

Our Garden

Colourful Garden

We now have our very own garden. We all helped plant our vegetables and flowers outside our classroom. We are growing peas, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, brussels sprouts, strawberries and peppers and some very colourful flowers.
We are all going to take turns looking after our new garden. We need to water the garden every day.

We are very proud of our garden!

Launching a water rocket!!!

2010-05-30T10:39:00.000+01:00

We were all very excited to see what was going to happen. We watched closely because when the rocket took off it was very fast!!!

First we filled the bottle with one quarter water.

Then we pumped air into the bottle.
The air causes pressure to build up in the bottle. The more air we pumped in the greater the pressure inside the bottle.

We pumped and pumped until.........

The pressure inside the bottle was too much and the pressure pushed the pump out and rocket off the stand. We had LIFT OFF!!!

The rocket flew high into the sky and far away.

Everyone ran as fast as they could to see who would reach the rocket first. We had great fun launching the rocket.
