This week, we got our new bubble machine... and it was a big hit! We've had so much fun on yard: watching the bubbles, chasing them and trying to burst them.

We have officially finished our first full month in school! We have had a brilliant month - we're becoming familiar with the routines of school, learning where everything is in our classroom, finding things we like to do in school, spending time exploring some areas outside our classroom... and lots more! This week, we have enjoyed our new rocking chairs... And our new beanbag... And we've been very busy! Classroom activities We've been doing lots of activities in our classroom. We enjoy water play, sand play, painting, Play-Doh, Lego, puzzles, music and lots more! Fun on Yard We've had loads of fun on yard over the past couple of weeks. We still love our slide and we love walking and running around our soft play area. We also have two new additions to yard time - a balance board and a play house - both of which have been a big hit! Our first whole-class photo! We started off attending school in groups of 2, then we progressed to groups of 3. This week, the two groups of 3 are overlapping for a short while, so we have all 6 children in the classroom together. It has been loads of fun! On Tuesday, we also celebrated one of the children's birthdays, so we all enjoyed some delicious cake together! New slide! Last Friday, we were very excited to see our new slide, which was kindly donated for our Soft Play area. It has been a big hit and we've had so much fun with it over the past week. It has been a great week - we've played lots, visited the OT room with Siobhán or Lisa every day, listened to some nursery rhymes on our whiteboard, tried our new train set, enjoyed yard time each day, played with bubbles... and lots more! What a busy week we've had in the Early Intervention Class! Comfort Room We got some lovely additions to our comfort room this week! The comfort room is a room within our classroom, where we can go to have some chill time and relax. Caitríona had donated a lovely little bed to Claire's class a couple of years ago, but they have now out-grown it, so Claire's class kindly gave the bed to us! As you can see, it makes for an excellent chill-out area! We also got some new colourful lights for this room, which we've enjoyed exploring. Yard We enjoyed lots of yard time this week and have lots of fun in our soft-play area. We've been trying out the balance bike and playing with bubbles. We've also tried some painting, had a go on the class iPads, paid a visit to the OT room, listened to lots of music... and lots of play! We've been eating lunch together too and are doing a great job! We have had lots of fun during our second week of school! Yard time: We went to yard this week for the first time, when it finally stopped raining! Our yard area is the soft play space, right outside our classroom. We have lots of fun equipment to take to yard with us and we had lots of fun. Musical Instruments:
We really enjoyed exploring the sounds of some of the musical instruments in our classroom! This week was the first week of school for the six children in our Early Intervention class! As part of the Summer Provision programme, we have been able to begin the transition to school in August, instead of waiting until September. It has been a fantastic week, with lots of play, exploring and time to become familiar with our new classroom. Take a look at some photos from the week! |
