Ms Byrne's Second Class enjoyed Maths Week. We worked together in pairs in order to invent our own magic number squares. The three number squares had to add up to the same answer all the time. The squares were arranged in diagonal, horizontal and vertical lines. We had great fun trying to figure out these magic squares.

Ms O' Neill's Senior Infants have been very busy this week. We took part in a 'Shape Trail'. All of the class worked like detectives, unearthing shapes such as cubes, cuboids, squares, spheres and rectangles. We were split into groups and went hunting in the school courtyard.to find the shapes. Once we had found the shapes, we went back to the classroom and recorded the shapes that we had found on our worksheets. We all worked well in our groups and helped each other to find the shapes in our school environment.
Ms Roche's First Class were very busy during Maths Week. We went on a Maths Trail. We had to figure out how long it would be from A to B. Ms Roche told us that we could use our bodies to measure the distance between two points. We used our hands and feet. We also took long strides to measure the distance between objects. We went around in our groups to measure distances in our school environment.
On Tuesday, the 20th of October our class went to Avoca Handweavers. During our time there we learned the history of the building and how they make their products and work the machines. Avoca Handweavers was established in 1723. The Wynne sisters, Emily, Veronica and Winifred bought it in the 1920's. Then in 1974, the Pratt family bought it off the Wynnes. The mill was originally opened to provide food and clothes for the copper miners and their families. On the day we visited, we met a local friendly dog named George. We played with him and also took a picture of him.
Avoca N.S.will re-open tomorrow morning, Wednesday the 18th of October at the usual time.
