Welcome Junior Infants! :)

September 13, 2018

A Huge Welcome to our Junior Infants! All the girls are settling nicely into their new classroom and new school routine! We are delighted to have them with us and look forward to lots of fun and learning this year! 🙂

Two of our girls celebrated turning 5 during their first week of Junior Infants! 🙂

The girls have been listening to stories and going over lots of nursery rhymes! One of the stories they enjoyed was ‘Peace at Last’ where Mr. Bear is kept awake by Mrs. Bear snoring! The girls might retell the story for you and tell you about all the other things that kept poor Mr. Bear awake!

In art the girls made lovely patchwork quilts for Mr. and Mrs Bear and it’s easy to see that Mr. Bear was not so happy about the loud snoring!

🚜Farm Collage🚜

We created a collage of a farm and discussed the different animals we saw on the farm we visited on our school tour.

This is our finished product! Each child drew a farm animal of their choice and we all coloured together to make this lovely piece.

🌞Summer Aistear🏖️

June 18, 2018

For our final Aistear, we are exploring the theme of ‘The Seaside’🏖️.

Making ice-creams from play-dough.

Making pinch-pots from clay.

Constructing a seaside scene- amusements, shops, lighthouse, life-guard station etc from blocks and lego.

Making drinks, sandcastles and ice-creams from sand.

We have had great fun during our Aistear themes over the year and the girls have learned so much new language through this framework. They are excited to see what themes will be explored next year!

🎵Summer Gymboree🎵

We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Audrey Hardiman for doing another wonderful gymboree session with the Junior Infants. We had great fun singing Rock and Roll songs this time, playing with bubbles and we really enjoyed the parachute!
