Senior Infants

school tour

We had a brilliant time on our school tour to the Mardyke Arena. We played basketball, bounced on the bouncy castle, played mini games and tackled the obstacle course. We even had a dance together - with some questionable moves!! It was a fun-filled day we won’t forget anytime soon.

Sports Day!

We had a fabulous time at Sports Day and took part in all sorts of activities, from Zumba and crazy golf to sack races and running races. We finished the day with a well-earned ice cream just before the rain arrived!

Leanring all about planting!

8th gREEN SCHOOLS fLAG CELEBRATION!

We celebrated receiving our 8th Green Schools Flag in style by dancing and boogying along to DJ Bertie! We are so proud of this wonderful achievement and of all the hard work that went into earning another Green Schools Flag.

Busy bees in senior infants!

We really enjoyed learning all about bees and how honey is made. We were delighted when Finn and Holly’s dad visited our classroom to share his knowledge of beekeeping and show us some of the equipment he uses. The highlight of the visit was meeting one of his friendly bees up close! We learned about the important role bees play in nature and how they work together to make honey. We really enjoyed the experience.

We enjoyed tasting some delicious honey on toast!

outdoor learning

We took our learning outdoors to the beautiful cherry blossom tree on our school grounds. We drew the tree and discussed the different parts.

Spring nature walk with our wonderful buddies!

With a checklist in hand, we went on a spring nature walk with our buddies!

Easter scavenger hunt

Senior Infants enjoyed a fun Easter scavenger hunt around the school and completed some Easter puzzles with their buddies.

world book day

Senior Infants had a great time celebrating World Book Day. We each brought in our own books and enjoyed reading them with our buddies!

Ms Feeney's class really enjoyed reading the story 'A Squash and a Squeeze' . We even created some cute houses inspired by the story!

Pancake Tuesday

There were lots of happy faces in Senior Infants on Tuesday as the children enjoyed delicious pancakes in the classroom! While eagerly awaiting their tasty treat, they kept busy putting their cutting and creating skills to great use by designing and making their very own dream pancakes. The classroom was filled with excitement and plenty of smiles as everyone joined in the fun.

A Snapshot of our work

It’s been a very busy and exciting few weeks in Ms Moss’ room! The children have been working hard across a range of subjects, including Maths, Literacy, Art, and Science.
We explored the story 'A Squash and a Squeeze' and had great fun creating the animals the lady meets along the way during Art. In Science, we investigated magnets and used our own magnets to discover which parts of our classroom are magnetic, with lots of exciting finds!
Maths has been full of hands-on learning. We used our maths manipulatives to explore adding numbers to 20, and used playdough to investigate symmetry in a fun way. We also showed fantastic teamwork while using Maths and Literacy puzzles to practise addition and counting, spelling, rhyming words, and creating new words with different endings.

Reindeer run

The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the reindeer run. It was so lovely to see the parents, hear Christmas music playing and the odd beep of a passing car as we walked along the route! A huge thank you to the parents' association for organising!

A 'Jolly' Trip to the post office!

Senior Infants have been learning all about The Post Office this month. They read the story 'A Jolly Christmas Postman'. They wrote and designed their own Christmas Cards. Finally, we took a trip to Dooley's Post Office, where we purchased stamps and sent our cards off to their lucky recipients. They even earned a lollipop for all their hard work. Well Done Senior Infants!
