Mathematicians in the Making!






We are having so much fun learning math in Senior Infants. We are experts at conservation of number, our teacher cannot trick us by moving the cubes/spots around. We are also able to use the + and = signs and show many ways of partitioning the number 5! Did I mention we are pros at counting all the way to 100!

Postal Challenge!

Image
We were learning all about the post office. Our mission? Find the safest way to send Taytos through the post and back to us without them breaking into tiny pieces. We used materials from our junk art supplies and asked Ursula for envelopes to send our packages. Once they were ready to be sent we wrote the address on the front and then brought them to be posted. After about three days they arrives back in the office. We tested paper, hard plastic, cardboard, tissue paper and tinfoil. It was interesting to see that some of them were very damaged and the crisps were like dust, especially the bag wrapped with just paper! The best was definitely the hard plastic lunchbox with the bubble wrap doing a good job too! As a special treat we even got to eat the Taytos when they were returned! YUMMY!

We had so much fun for science week! There was lots of experiments of all kinds. We had a visit from a mad old scientist Tony Baloney who did all sorts of crazy tricks for us! On Wednesday Lauren and Dave came in to talk to us all about bacteria and how easily germs can spread! Everyone even got to make their own bacteria out of playdough. We finished off the week with rang a sé when they showed us different science experiments and how they worked! We have so many buddy scientist in senior infants!
