Autumn Data! 📊
Last week, Senior Infants were learning about data which we know is about collecting information! As we are in a new season, we thought it would be fun to collect some information about the autumnal objects that can be found around the school! 🍂 The class explored the grounds of the school along with Ms Ince and recorded the amount of autumn objects they found into their books. They were very observant and found lots of different items! The class then returned to the classroom and began recording their data on bar charts 📊
Owl Babies 🦉
The class have been reading the story of ‘Owl Babies’ and were inspired so they created their own fluffy looking owls!! They dabbed pompoms with white paint to design the body. The class then cut out beaks, eyes and feet for their owls in which they painted orange.
