Teddy Bear's Hospital.

Today we went to N.U.I.G to visit the Teddy Bear's Hospital. We brought our sick bears with us. The doctors took us in groups of four and they examined our teddy bear's and asked us to explain what was the matter with them. Then the doctors directed us to X-Ray as some of our teddy bear's had broken bones. Then we had to go  to the Teddy Pharmacy with our prescripton to get some fruit to help our bears to get better. We had a bounce on the bouncey castle and met Dora and Barney and then we went back to school on the bus. What a great day.

Jelly is set.

Today we went to the fridge and we discovered our jelly had set. It was not watery anymore. Instead it was wobbly and jiggly. The bowl felt very cold as well. The cold fridge helped the jelly to set. Yummy, yummy strawberry jelly.

Making Jelly 24th January

Last few weeks we have been talking about materials. Today we were talkin about jelly-different flavours, what we eat it with, when we eat it, where we can get jelly. Then teacher showed us the jelly. It was in shapes of cubes. Ms.Crotty asked us if we knew how to make jelly- and we told her how. Teacher boiled the kettle and we talked about how dangerous boiling water is and how only adults should touch a kettle and boiling water. We heard the kettle boil and watched the steam. We placed the jelly in the bowl and added the water to it. We watched the jelly dissolve and we stirred it and the water turned red and all the jelly melted / dissolved. We placed in the fridge and we hope tomorrow that we will have wibbly wobbly jelly.

Patterns

This week we were talking about patterns in Maths. We see patterns everywhere - on animals, on tiles, on clothes, on floors, on walls. We made patterns in school with counters, bears, straws, beads and links. We brought in some patterns from home.

Christmas Play

We have been working very hard practising our lines and our songs for the Christmas Play "The Grumpy Sheep" We preformed the play for our parents and all the children and teachers in the school.
