Christmas in Junior Infants
It has been a very busy and exciting time in Junior infants. We enjoyed welcoming parents into our class for a special Christmas crafts morning last week and we made some lovely festive art. A great morning was had by both children and parents.
Along with doing lots of art this season, the children had great fun creating their Christmas lists and talking about their favourite toys. We also enjoyed the school toy sale on Friday which was a great success in our class and brought lots of excitement. It has been a busy and fun run up to the festive period with lots of smiles and happy memories made in junior infants.
Senior Infants had a wonderful morning welcoming their parents into the classroom for some festive Christmas crafts. The children were excited to showcase their fantastic work, with Christmas music playing and plenty of holiday cheer in the air.
We created colourful Christmas trees using crepe paper, adding snowy details and cheerful snowmen made from cotton wool. The finished display was bright, creative, and full of festive spirit. It was a lovely way to start the Christmas season! 🎄✨
This week, our classroom transformed into a prehistoric landscape as students worked together to create a collaborative dinosaur world out of clay!
As part of our Creativity in the Classroom initiative, students explored teamwork, imagination, and hands-on artistic skills. They designed their own dinosaurs, sculpted miniature habitats, and combined their creations into one large, colourful display.
As part of Science Week, 3rd Class explored a big question: Where does wind come from?
We learned that wind is moving air. The Sun heats the Earth unevenly, which means some places become warmer than others.
- Warm air rises
- Cool air moves in to take its place
This movement of air is what we feel as wind!
To see wind in action, we made our own paper windmills- showing how air moves.
Everyone had great fun creating, testing, and learning. Our windmills were colourful, creative, and a perfect way to feel science happening!
