While the weather is playing ball the 1st class are playing hurling and camogie. It was fantastic to see so many of the students with their boots, hurl and helmet and ready to go get going. We did some activities practicing tackling, dribbling and hurl grip before getting into the match. The Senior Infants and First Class focused on hurling/ camogie for the month of September and finished with a blitz on the last day.
Using hands on resources are a really important part of maths. They help us link maths problems to real life while also broadening our minds to find new ways to solve problems. By using manipulatives such as blocks, matchsticks, cubes, lollipop sticks or drawing on whiteboards, it helps us visualise problems that sometimes are hard to understand!
