On Thursday we had an exciting (and stressful!) day as the finals of the Maths Week Tables Championships took place. A huge well done to all the children who reached the finals and showed everyone their amazing number skills and strategies. Congratulations to Alan, our junior champion and well done to Marta and Karol who were our runners up. In the senior final it was congratulations to Alistair who came in 1st place and his worthy runners up were Daniel and Leon. Well done to all involved.
In the Sunshine room we made autumn collages from the beautiful autumn leaves and twigs we collected in the park.
Junior Infants and 5th and 6th Class went on another adventure to the Phoenix Park today, this time following a Maths Trail! Each group was tasked with finding lots of different items such as 3 pieces of bark, 7 leaves, 9 stones, 5 chestnuts, 12 twigs etc. The pupils also had to look out for any circles, triangles and squares in the environment and to make 2D shapes with the twigs and stones they found. The Junior Infants children were so enthusiastic that we all had a really fantastic time. Watch this space for more adventures throughout the year with these classes!
