Duleek Boys National School

This week in Ms. Leppla’s Junior Infants we have been learning all about number 4. We really like the number 4 because most of us in our class are four years old. We played lots of games with number 4. We made sets of 4 using links, cubes, bears, shapes and beads. We also learned what the number 4 looks like and how to write it. We have a great rhyme to help us remember. “Down and over and down some more, that’s the way to make a four!”

We had great fun writing the number four using whiteboards and markers.  We can now write the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4!

We have been busy in Ms. Leppla’s Junior Infants learning all about artists. An artist is a person who paints pictures. Sometimes they wear special hats. They use equipment such as  palettes, brushes, easels and canvases. We learned about an artist from Russia named Kandinsky. He loved to use shape and colour in his work. We love shapes and colours too so we decided to recreate his painting ” A Colour Study of Squares”. We did a great job! It is had to imagine that Kandinsky painted his work 100 years ago. Check out our work below 🙂

We also painted flowers and experimented with line and pattern on each petal after they were dry. We think they brighten up January!
