Christmas data in Senior infants

Friday, 16th December 2011

Today we chatted about our favourite Christmas things.

Of course we all love Santa and Christmas presents, but these weren't choices for us.

Look at what we chose:

We counted and compared the groups, saw which had most and least, saw "how many more" or "how many less" there were in some groups as compared with others.

We learned lots of maths from this activity.

Another wonderful nativity play in Junior infants

Well done to Ms. Conneely's class for such a fantastic play today.  The songs were so catchy that we just had to sing along.  We were all really impressed by such wonderful actors and actresses in this class.

The story of the First Christmas Tree

Teacher told us the story of the first Christmas tree.

It happened when a man from Germany got lost in a forest late one winter's night.

He lit some candles and put them on a tree to keep him from feeling lonely and frightened.

At drama time, the man from the forest came to visit us, and we were able to ask him lots of questions about his frightening experience, and about what the forest was like on the cold dark winter's night.

We also heard how he chose the perfect Christmas tree.

We really enjoyed this story.  We will remember it whenever we look at our own Christmas trees.
