Random collections.

This week we began to sort random collections. We used bottle caps to sort collections into different groups.
One property collections - these were collections of caps with one thing in common.
Two property collections - these were collections of caps with two things in common.
Three property collections - these were collections of caps with three things in common.
Four property collections - these were collections of caps with four things in common.

There are four rules for sorting collections, they are;
Size

Colour

Texture

Shape


Why dont you collect different things at home and sort them into collections using these four rules??

A world of Imagination. Sketching and painting the playground using pointillism.

Pointillism is a new way of painting we discovered this week. It is simple to do. All you need is some paint and some cotton buds. Then you dot your picture to fill in the colours you like. Simple!! Hope you enjoy the video!

Update on our flowers.

In class we have planted flowers. They have began to bud. Do you know what our flowers look like??




We have also brought home our won sunflowers. You can e-mail your teacher a picture of your sunflower as it grows to scoilbhrideteacher@gmail.com and it will be put up here on our blog.
