Another fun and busy week in 1st class!
We designed and built boats, wrote messages in bottles (we were stranded on desert islands!) and continued to explore the world in the role play area. We wrote letters to Queen Isabella of Spain telling her about the discoveries we had made and the people we had met. In Gaeilge we are looking at the topic of clothes and in Maths we were investigating patterns.

True to our name of Explorers Class, this week we have begun to look at the topic of Christopher Columbus and Exploration! We read the history of Christopher Columbus, watched a video about his exploits and looked at the history of exploration. It didn't take us long to discover that history is complicated and so there has been lots of conversation about the rights and wrongs of the way that people have explored our planet and treated one another this week! We started off discussing what we knew, and what we'd like to find out about Christopher Columbus and the Age of Exploration! What we already knew...
What we wanted to Know...
We've begun to try and answer these questions. In our Aistear time we've been creating maps of Columbus' journeys, making picture fact files about him. Exploring the world in the role play area, and exploring what materials float and sink so that we can design and build our own boats next week. We even got to explore different materials using a microscope attached to the computer!! In Maths this week we continued to explore the number system and we enjoyed our first week of Power Hour too!
