First few weeks in Junior infants
We've had a very busy few weeks in Junior infants. We have been having a great time making new friends and learning all about the school rules. Junior infants have been working so hard completing patterns in maths as well as learning all about Autumn. Last week we went on our beep beep walk where we learned all about how to cross the road safely. The walk was a big success and thoroughly enjoyed by all!

We have had a fantastic start to the year in 2nd class with a fun filled September. We are having lots of fun in Maths playing board games and interactive games with everyone getting involved.
During Roald Dahl week we performed our own twist on the song Oompa Loompa! It was creative and engaging and everyone had lots of fun in the process!
Our class has been learning about the incredible artist Alma Thomas. She loved using bright colours and repeating shapes to make her paintings look like mosaics. We looked at her artworks “Pansies in Washington” and “The Eclipse”.
Inspired by her style, we created our own mosaic-style pictures. We used lots of colours and different patterns to make our art stand out-just like Alma Thomas did.
The results are so effective and full of energy! Each piece shows off creativity, imagination, and the joy of making art. 🎨✨
Last Friday we visited Kilmainham Gaol. We have been learning about Kilmainham Gaol this past month. In Kilmainham Gaol, we saw where the 1916 leaders were executed. It made us feel uneasy as if we were standing on their blood and their presence was all around us. We saw the old wing and the new wing of the Gaol. Our tour guide got us to walk in a circle outside in the courtyard to mimic the exercises prisoners used to do. We were allowed to walk around the museum at the end of the tour and we saw Grace Gifford's ring as well as other artefacts from the Gaol.
