Christmas art with our buddies
Our buddies recently helped us with some painting for our Christmas Art. We made a Santa Christmas Countdown calendar and we also painted the stable where Jesus was born in Bethlaham. We were so luck as we got to do our painting in Ms. Barry's 5th Class room.
A trip to the Post Office
Over the past week, we have been busy getting Christmas cards ready for our families at home. Ms. Barry was so proud of us all for using our cursive letters in our cards. We have been working so hard in class on our writing. When our cards were ready, we each put our own card into an envelope and stuck on our home address to the envelope. We then walked to the post office where we purchased a stamp each before sending off our letters to our families in the post. We hope our families enjoy their cards.
The Toy Show comes to Junior Infants
Last week, the Toy Show came to Ms. Barry's Junior Infants. We have been talking about our favourite toys when we were a baby and now as 4 and 5 year olds. We each brought in our favourite toy to share it with the class. It was wonderful to see each child share their toy with the class. Each pupil got to pick 3 people from the audience to ask them a question about their favourite toy. We had some interesting questions and answers!!

Science week 2022
We made our own bubble snakes!
We used baking soda and vinegar in warm water to make raisins
Our 5th Class buddies helped us to discover objects that are magnetic. We made predictions first and then we each got a magnet and found the objects in the classroom.
We are bucket Fillers!
In class we have been talking about showing love and kindness to the people that we know. We read the story "How Full Is Your Bucket?". We are all working hard to be 'bucket fillers' and completing acts of kindness to make sure all our friends and families buckets stay full!

Happy Halloween
autumn
We went on our first nature walk in Scoil Bhríde this week. We were very busy collecting items that reminded us of ‘autumn’. When we got to the ‘Hugging Tree’, we all made a wish and gave the Tree a Big hug. Hopefully all our wishes will come true!
Art
Our 5th class buddies helped us to make Hedgehogs out of clay.

Meet our buddies
Our buddies from Ms.Barry’s and Mr. O’Sullivan’s 5th Class came to help us with some Halloween art this week.
Planting DAffodils
We were very lucky this week as we all got to plant our very own daffodils at the front of our school. Cathal our caretaker, dug a small hole for each pupil. Mrs. Howard gave everyone daffodil bulbs. Mrs. Howard explained to us how important it was to put the bulb in right. We were very careful and made sure the roots were going down and stem was standing up. We will be keeping a close eye for them growing next year.

Take a look at some of our WORK
Religion
We are all special and unique. We all have our own names. We decorated our names to make a collage.
Maths
We are learning to categorise objects in the classroom. We have been grouping objects that are the same colour, size, type, shape.
Nursery Rhymes
Here are the nursery rhymes we have started to learn in class. We have been busy picking out some of the rhyming words in the sentences. We are also sequencing the rhymes. We discuss what happened first, next, then and last.
