February 1st – 5th

Last week’s music appreciation was a fantastic week in The Children’s House! Thanks to all the parents who gave their time and came in to play music with us – we had guitars, recorder, trumpet, keyboard, as well as some singing spots – and still have drums to come this week! It was such an enjoyable week, and the children loved seeing all the different instruments and having their parents in the classroom with them.

This week will be very busy!! The morning classes will be learning about St Brigid on Monday and making St Brigid’s crosses for the classrooms, as well as talking about the new month February and the start of Spring. Then we will be continuing on with our project from the Big Bang and learning about the Azoic Era, when earth was newly formed and no life existed; the children will be making pictures to represent the era. Following that, towards the end of the week, we will be making volcanoes and carrying out an experiment using baking soda, vinegar and red food colouring to simulate the volcano exploding! The afternoon classes will be learning about the new month and season, and also doing the volcano experiment!
