Junior & Senior Infants

September

Welcome to school! We are so glad you are here!

Junior and Senior Infants have all settled into school and are enjoying getting to know everybody. We are having lots of fun working on our fine motor skills, nursery rhymes and we all love story time!

October

October was a busy month in Junior and Senior Infants. We enjoyed autumn walks, leaf hunts and making beautiful autumn trees. We wrote reports on hedgehogs and read lots of autumn stories. We enjoyed taking part in Maths Week (check out our STEM page for some photos of what we got up to).

We had lots of fun at Halloween time. We made bubbly cauldrons and fizzy witchy potions. We created spooky ghost puppets and scary mummy artwork. Lots of spooky children came to school one day- can you spot anyone you know!?

November

We are learning lots of new sounds and letters.

We are learning all about positional language, length and numbers in Maths. Check out our snakes! Can you spot the long, longer and longest snakes?

Can you spot some tall and short towers?

We hid Ted in, on, under and beside things.

We enjoyed Science Week and had so much fun experimenting.You can see some photos on our STEM page. We are all Scientists!

We loved reading some stories about school. Our favourite was We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins. It is very funny!

December

Wow! What a busy month we have had! As well as lots and lots of learning, we were the Stars of the show and presented our nativity play ‘The Tiny Angel’ at the Christmas Carol Service. Everybody worked so hard learning their lines. We loved performing for our families and friends. We did a super job!

We had a super trip to The Helix to see the pantomime ‘Rapunzel’ Oh no you didn’t- Oh yes we did!

We loved pyjamas and hot chocolate day. We watched a movie with our friends in First & Second Class.

We created lots of beautiful Christmas and winter artwork. We enjoyed some guided drawing. We drew snowmen. Aren’t they cute! We made sparkly snowflakes too.

Check out our Christmas jumpers! Happy Christmas, Everyone!

Happy New Year!

Junior and Senior Infants have had a busy month, full of fun and learning. This month, our theme was Homes. We enjoyed reading ‘Sharing a Shell’ and ‘The Three Little Pigs’

The boys and girls loved reading ‘Cosy’ by Jan Brett. This story inspired us to design and create Hibernation Stations for some animals.
