Is maith linn cluichí Mata! We like playing Maths games!

Seo seachtain na mata agus tá a lán gníomhaíochtaí a bhaineann le Mata ar siúl sa scoil.  In ár rang táimid ag imirt cluichí mata gach lá agus chuamar ar siúlóid na mata inniu.  Thaitin sé go mór linn!

 

This is Maths week and there are lots of maths activities happening around the school.  We have been playing  maths games every day in class and today we had a “Maths Walk” which we really enjoyed.

Bhí an-chuid á phlé againn i rith na seachtaine agus tá a lán oibre déanta!

Bhíomar ag foghlaim faoin bhFómhar, ag féachaint ar na duilleoga atá ag titim ón gcrann, rinneamar focail nua sa Ghaeilge agus ag fóghlaim faoi uimhir a sé sa Mhata, comh maith le rudaí eile!  Ní aon ionadh ach go bhfuil tuirse orainn ar an Aoine!

Seo amhrán deas a rinneamar:

 

Duilleog, duilleog, duilleog, duilleog,

Duilleog ag titim anuas ón gcrann. (x2)

Gráinneog thuirseach, gráinneog thuirseach, codladh sámh anois. (x2)

Tuirseach, tuirseach tuirseach, tuirseach,

Tá mé ag titim i m’chodladh anois. (x2)

 

Seo muidne ag bailiú duilleoga:

 

Bhíomar ag plé “mo chlann” i rith na seachtaine freisin.  Caithfimid pictiúr do “mo chlann” a dhéanamh sa bhaile.

 

Tá súil agam go mbeidh deireadh seachtaine deas agaibh.  Beidh Seachtain na Mata againn an tseachtain seo chugainn, táim ag súil go mór leis.

We discussed lots of things in class this week and got lots of work done! We learned more about Autumn, talked about the leaves falling and about hedgehogs, we learned some new words in Irish reading and learned to write number 6 in Maths.  No wonder we are tired on Friday! 

We talked about our families too this week and have to draw a picture of our family at home.

 

 

 

Seachtain eile thart arís ar scoil agus tá ag éirí go maith linn.  Bhíomar ag foghlaim faoi fad/níos faide, ard / níos airde, agus leathan/níos leithne sa mhata.   Bhíomar ag foghlaim faoin bhfomhar, na athruithe a tharlaíonn sa thréimse seo agus ag féachaint go speisialta ar na crainn ar an Déardaoin, Lá na gCrann.  Sa Chreideamh bhíomar ag caint faoi aire a thabhairt don domhan agus beimid ag tarraingt pictiúr nó ag scríobh faoi na bealaí a thugaimid don domhann in ár leabhair.

Another week is over at school and we are getting on well.  We were learning about length, height, and width in maths.  We learned about autumn and the changes that happen during this season, we learned some more about trees on Tree Day on Thursday.  In religion we were talking about caring for the world and we will be drawing a picture or writing about some ways we can care for the world in our books.

Bhíomar i Seomra na Ríomhairí inniu, is breá linn ag dul ann!  Bhíomar ag imirt cluichí ar Fonn Fónaice inniu.  Cuir ceist orainn an féidir linn na h-amhráin a bhaineann le c,a,d,g,o,i,s, p agus t a chanadh?

We were in the computer room today, we love going there! We were playing games on Fonn Fónaice (Irish phonics programme) today.  Ask us can we sing the songs for c, a, d, g, o, i, s, p agus t!

Táimid ag foghlaim faoi tomhas anois agus bhíomar ag úsáid an foclóir seo inniu:

Tá……ard.

Tá ……..níos airde.

Is é/í………..an duine is airde.

 

Cé hé/hí an duine is airde i do theach?

Seo Deireadh Fómhair anois agus roimh an mbriseadh leath-théarma beidh lá ar scoil nuair a bheidh gach éinne gléasta d’Oíche Shamhna.  Arís i mbliana ba mhaith le Coiste Glas na scoile go n-déanfaimid ár ndícheall a bheith ag smaoineamh faoin timpealleacht agus culaith ath-chursáilte nó ath-usáidte a chaitheamh.  Beidh comórtas ann don chulaith is fearr a leanann an manna “athchursáil, athusáid, ná ceannaigh!”

Baineann gach páiste an-taitneamh as culaith a dhéanamh sa bhaile, tosaigí ag pleanáil anois!

 

It is October now and before the mid-term break we will have a day at school when everyone can dress up for Halloween.  Again this year the Coiste Glas are asking us to try our best to think about the environment and to wear a costume that is re-used or recycled.  There will be a competition for the best costume that follows the motto “recycle, re-use, don’t buy!”.  

Children love making their costumes at home so start planning now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is breá linne ár n-am spraoi! Táimid fós ag obair ar an téama An Scoil. Bíonn deis againn teanga nua a úsáid agus scileanna eile a chleachtadh.  Nuair atáimid críochnaithe féachaimid ar na griangraif le chéile chun a mhiniú céard a bhí ar siúl againn.

We love our “am spraoi”.  We are still working on the theme “Scoil”.  It gives us a chance to use new vocabulary and to practise many other skills.  When we are finished we love to look at photographs of us playing and describe what we were doing.

Tá deireadh na míosa tagtha cheana féin.  Bhí mí iontach gnóthach againn agus táim an-sásta le na páistí agus an obair a bhíonn ar siúl acu gach lá.  Tá léitheoireacht na páistí ag teacht ar aghaidh go tapaidh, cabhraíonn cleachtadh rialta leo.  Déanaim iarracht éisteacht leo agus leabhar a athrú gach lá nó gach ré lá, ba chóir go bhfuil siad ag déanamh píosa léitheoireachta sa bhaile gach lá – má tá an leabhar beag ar eolas acu, déan cluichí lena cartaí beaga nó féach ar na cluichí ar www.seideansi.ie (ranganna – naíonáin mhóra – céim 1).

Chuireamar fáilte roimh Múinteoir Oonagh inniu, tá Máistreacht á bhaint amach aici faoi láthair agus beidh sí ag obair linn i Deireadh Fómhair agus Samhain.

Thóg na páistí I nGrá Dé abhaile inniu, bhíomar ag caint faoi Cruthaíocht Dé agus tharraing siad pictiúr don chuid den chruthú is fearr leo.  Léigh siad scéal faoin ngrá a bhí ag an Rí Dáiví don chruthú.  Tá leagan don scéal seo le léamh le chéile sa bhaile.

 

The end of September is here already.  We had a great and busy month and I am delighted with the children and the work they do every day.  They are making great progress with their reading and reading frequently is very important.  In school I try to listen to them reading individually and change their books every day or every second day and they should be reading at home every day as well.  If they can read the small books with no difficulty they could practise sight vocabulary with the word cards or try some of the games that go with the small books on  www.seideansi.ie (ranganna – naíonáin mhóra – céim 1).

We welcomed Múinteoir Oonagh today, she is studying for her Masters and will be working with us in October and November.

The children took home I nGrá Dé today.  They have been learning about God’s Creation and during the week they drew a picture of their favourite part of God’s creation.  We read a story about King David and his love for God’s creation, there is a version of this story to read together.  The children might be able to read some of the words, and tell the story in their own words.  There is an English version below. 

“Once there was a boy called David (Dáiví).  His job was to mind sheep.  He loved being outside and he loved looking at all the things that God had created: the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds and the trees.  David thanked God for the water his sheep drank and the grass they ate.  He said “how wonderful God is!”.  As he got older, David wrote many psalms to give thanks and praise to God for all the wonderful things in this world.
