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:

MAKING HOUSES WITH SECOND CLASS

 We had so much fun today making houses. Thank you so much to second class for helping us!

Thank you for the shoe boxes

 Thank you to all the kind and generous pupils and parents who brought in shoe boxes for Team Hope this week. They were collected today and are on their way to needy boys and girls in other countries who may not get any presents for Christmas.

BOOK FAIR

 The School Book Fair will arrive in the school on Monday 17th November and will finish up on Friday 21st of November. It will be open until 4:30pm on the Wednesday and Thursday for parents during the Parent Teacher Meetings. We appreciate your support as always!

Halloween in Junior Infants

 To get ready for Halloween we had some Bairín Breac (Barm Brack). It is a fruity bread that Irish people traditionally eat at Halloween. There is a ring hidden inside and whoever finds it has good luck!

Here are some spooky Halloween black cats that we made:

No children showed up to school today at all. Just these weird and wonderful characters!

We had a fun Halloween party where we played some traditional Halloween games.
