April

We have been so busy since our return to school after the Easter break. Check out all of the activities we have been up to, including our Spring walk, a litter pick, playing shop to help us learn about money in Maths and our very special visit from Billy and his lamb, Toby.

March

We planted some sunflower seeds in school when we were learning about what plants need to grow. The boys and girls took them home over Easter..... I hope they have continued to grow!

February

Our hot lunches have arrived! We have been trying out different meals to see which ones we like!

January

The Junior Infant classes read a very special story called, 'Handa's Surprise' when we were learning about Africa. We decided to give some of the fruits in the story a try! Well done to the boys and girls for tasting some avocado, guava, passion fruit, mango, pineapple, orange and banana!

Our buddies in Mr. Maher's 5th class planned and taught a PE lesson to us. We loved the obstacle course!

preparing for Christmas

The Junior Infants were chosen to decorate the Christmas tree in school. Take a look at the entrance the next time you're stopping by!

science investigation

We have been investigating shadows and sources of light in Science this month. We used torches to make shadows with animals and worked in pairs to brighten up the darkest spaces in our classroom.

winter

We have been learning about winter in class so we took a little walk with Ms Howard's Junior Infants to check some signs of winter off our list. We remembered to wear our high-vis vests to keep us safe on the roads.

November

gymnastics

We have been lucky to learn lots of new skills in gymnastics with our coach, Kenny. We can now do lots of balances, pencil rolls, tumbles, donkey kicks and even some handstands!

science

In Science, we have been learning all about nocturnal animals. We read 'Owl Babies' together.
We also did some sorting activities in our groups. We were able to identify and classify objects into living and non-living categories.

october

hallowe'en

Take a look at our spooky Hallowe'en costumes!

We also did some printing and painting in Art to create some Hallowe'en designs.

maths week

Junior Infants met with their buddies in 5th class to play some Maths games with them during Maths Week. The Junior Infants had been practising these games during their Ready, Set, Go Maths stations. We used our iPad time time to play some Maths games with our partners too.

litter pick

Our buddies in 5th class helped us with our litter pick in the community field.

book fair

The boys and girls loved browsing through all the books at the book fair and we took some time out to do a bit of reading aloud.

As we have been learning a new nursery rhyme each week, we chose our favourite one to design a picture of before the Book Fair in school.

autumn Walk

We have had great discussions about the signs of Autumn that can be seen so we went on an Autumn Walk to see what we could find. We were able to tick conkers, a horse chestnut tree, oak tree leaves, acorns and berries off our checklists when we got back to school.
