Harry Hedgehog

We have been busy learning all about Autumn. We learned about the animals who are getting ready for their long sleep. We painted pictures of Harry hedgehog. Our hands got very sticky adding the spikes to Harry's back.

Conkers

We have lots of conkers for our nature table now thanks to Alyssa who collected lots and lots for us.

Thank you to all the boys and girls for bringing in all kinds of leaves for our nature table and our autumn tree.

Examining leaves

We have noticed that the trees are changing colour and they are loosing their leaves. The colours we have noticed around the school are yellow, brown, red and orange. We went on a leaf hunt around our school. We collected some of these leaves to take a closer look. We wanted to examine how all the leaves felt, smelled and what they looked like under a magnifying glass. We especially like the horsechestnut leaf and the oak leaf. We are on the look out for some conkers for our nature table.

Did you know? ......
On finding your first conker of the season, you should say:
" Oddly oddly onker my first conker". This ensures good fortune and few tangles throughout the coming season.
The game of conkers is known as 'Kingers' in some parts of the world.

A big thank you to Sarah for bringing in lots of different types of leaves for us to examine. We decorated the autumn tree in our class today with the leaves. We think it looks great and we love to look at the autumn colours.

Sorting In Junior Infants

We were hard at work today in junior infants. We sorted lots of objects. First we sorted the objects according to colour. We were very good at sorting.

We were so good at matching the objects by colour that we matched some objects according to size and others according to shape.
