Pancake Tuesday

 If you want to make pancakes at home, here is a video to help you.

SOME ACTIVITIES IN JUNIOR INFANTS IN JANUARY

 

Weather report from our weather station

Learning about the number 8 (well at least it's not 6-7!)

A pirate ship made in junk art

Busy making a patchwork elephant

AHOY MATEYS!

 Our pirate theme was a big hit last week. We were digging for buried treasure in the sand box, drawing maps, sailing on the pirate ship, cooking pirate food in the galley and searching for hidden treasure in the classroom!  

KINDNESS TREE

 We have been focusing on kindness for the past few weeks. Every time someone did an act of kindness we put a heart on the kindness tree. When we reached 100 acts of kindness we had a small party!

BOXERCISE!

 We have been training with Borys the boxercise coach. Here are some photos:

School Marathon fundraiser

 On January 23rd the whole school participated in a "marathon" around the school yard. Each child ran between 1 and 3 laps of the yard so that the total distance ran was equal to a marathon. We raised lots of money for the school and thank you to everyone who participated.

Christmas fun in Junior Infants

 We have been doing all sorts of fun things for Christmas in Junior Infants. Here are a few:

Christmas writing

Taking care of the Baby Jesus in the creche

An elf in Santa's workshop

Decorating the tree

Santa on his sleigh off to deliver presents

Building a Christmas village

Making salt dough decorations

Elfie the elf

A VERY SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR JUNIOR INFANTS

 Can you believe we got a message from the Big Man himself?

ARTEFACTS

 Thank you to the two boys who brought in artefacts from home to show the class. 

The first is a horse shoe which looks very old. We know it is old because it is very rusty.

The second is a radio alarm clock from the 1990's. People used these before they had mobile phones to wake them up!

If any other child wants to bring in an artefact from home, they are very welcome to do so. They should be able to tell us what it is and roughly how old it is.

LEARNING ABOUT SHAPES

 We have been learning all about 3-D and 2-D shapes in school in the last couple of weeks. Here are some of the activities we have been doing:
