Junior Infants enjoyed planting bulbs that will flower during the Spring. We discussed what is important for a flower to grow and made sure to water them. Each child planted a Daffodil. We look forward to the Springtime so we can watch our flowers grow (hopefully)!
Every morning between 10.00 am and 10.50 am Junior Infants take part in Station Learning. They rotate between different activities including practicing their writing on the whiteboard, threading, cutting, tracing letters in sand, making letters out of play dough, sorting activities and completing pages from their writing and Maths workbooks. Here are photographs of some of the activities Junior Infants were doing during stations in September and October.
We have started Aistear in our class. The children really look forward to this time of the day. The theme for the first two weeks of October was school. We have five different stations every day in our class – Small World, Construction, Role-Play, Sand/ Water and Junk Art.
Junior Infants went on an Autumn Trail around the school to find Autumn leaves. We noticed all the lovelyAutumn colours on the leaves. We brought them back in to our classroom and used the leaves as a bed for our hedgehogs as they hibernate.
We have enjoyed lots of different activities including playing with our new friends, listening to stories, eating our healthy lunches and doing some colouring.
We really enjoyed the fine weather last week!
On Tuesday, May 22nd 2012, Callum Maguire (6th class), Eva Holland (5th class), Ms. Corby and Ms. Murphy who are all members of our Green Schools Committee travelled to Silver Springs Hotel in Cork to collect our first green flag. Well done to all involved.
We used very watery paint and straws to create our paintings. We used the primary colours blue, red and yellow. These colours then mixed to make other colours.
We discussed what magnets are. We then experimented with magnets in our classroom. We had great fun.
We wore our wellies and went on a litter search. We found lots of 
litter. We wore gloves to keep our hands clean. We had lots of fun!
