We are revising what we know about money this week. We have previously learned how to count different amounts of money up to €1, how to make an amount up to €1 in different ways and we have also learned how to find change from 50c and €1. Now we are working with counting and making amounts of money up to €2 how to write an amount as cent or euro (___c or €_.__) and we are learning how to find change from €2. 

Here are some games we will be exploring to help us to understand money:

Well done to Patrick for being this week's star of the week. Patrick has been working very hard in school, especially on his handwriting and has been enjoying getting involved in all activities. Well done Patrick!

We are having fun learning about space with Múinteoir Daniela. We are working on group projects on the planets and we will also complete an individual project at home. We watched videos on how people live in space, wash their hair, eat food and go to sleep!!
We also learned alot of facts about the different planets. We were very excited to hear that the first robot helicoptor took flight on Mars last this week! We got to see pictures and videos of what Mars really looks like.

Well done Alex for excellent behaviour in class and for working so hard in your handwriting as well as in Gaeilge. Maith thú!

We have been very busy this week in the Daffodils preparing for Easter. We learned all about the story of Easter this week and have worked hard on our creative writing as well as some Easter drawings. We have been exploring cúpla focail as Gaeilge for our theme 'An Cháisc.' We are really looking forward to our Easter holidays after all our hard work over the last few weeks!

We have been working hard on our creative writing over the past few weeks. We learned about how to use adjectives and adverbs as well as using conjunctions to join sentences and create different types of sentences. Everyone did a fantastic job on their writing. Here are just a few examples of our writing.
