Dia daoibh,
Junior Infants had a great week celebrating and learning about Gaeilge. We learned some Sean-Nós dancing from Tommy on Tuesday and on Wednesday Ms. O'Shea and Ms. Dowling took the class to the hall for hurling lessons. On Friday we performed the song that we had been practicing all week during our ceoilchoirm. Bhain na daltaí an-taitneamh as an seachtain!
Junior Infants had a great time participating in Literacy week last week.
On Tuesday we had a reading morning where parents were invited in to read a range of books with their children.
We visited the library in Richmond Barrack's and got some great stories read to us by Helen. The children even got a chance to look at all the books they could rent from the library afterwards.
We also had lots of fun designed our class door inspired by our book of the week 'The Rainbow Fish' by Marcus Pfister just look at how it turned out!
We had a fantastic time playing in Aistear this month!
Elves were busy making toys down in Santa's Workshop while builders outside planned and built extensions to the North Pole.
Inside in the classroom hands were getting very messy in our new messy station where we made our own Christmas decorations and even festive scented playdough!
Lastly, it was all hands on deck in our junk art station as children wrapped presents, designed labels and made cards for everyone they know!
There was great excitement in Junior Infants when we discovered that Santa was coming for a visit! Everyone had a great time talking to Santa about their Christmas wishes and couldn't wait to unwrap their presents to see what they got!
There is a great buzz around the school this week as teachers and children get their classroom doors ready for a competition.
We are decorating our doors and it will be judged by Ms. Hanly Tony and an independent adjudicator from Brokke and Delap.
May the best door win 😁
Junior Infants became doctors and patients this month in Aistear. The Witches also broke into our Home corner and transformed it into a Witches Kitchen with lots of ingredients for us to make spooky potions
