Learning about Shapes in Infants

Junior and Senior Infants were working very diligently over the last few weeks learning all that they could about 2D and 3D shapes. They had great fun hunting for the different shapes outside, engaging in a problem solving circuit involving shape in the classroom and they made wonderful shape pictures.

Pancake Tuesday in Infants

There was huge excitement in the Infant classroom today at the thought of getting pancakes at school. As you can see they went down a treat. Thanks to our parent volunteers who were busy cooking all morning!

Nursery Rhyme Challenge

The infants never cease to amaze us as they complete their second Nursery Rhyme Challenge. Well done to all the boys and girls who proudly present their certificates!

Christmas Activities in the Infant Classroom

The last few weeks have been packed with fun, excitement and creativity in the Infant Classroom. The children engaged in a variety of Christmas activities such as learning Christmas rhymes, singing songs both in English and Irish; two of our favourites being ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘Tá an Nollaig Buaillte Linn’. We learned about Advent, The Christmas Story and chatted about Christmas traditions both in Ireland and in other countries worldwide. We also enjoyed doing a Christmas quiz together. The children made unique Christmas tree decorations using lollipop sticks and decorated with assorted jewels and buttons. Our sticky fingers got to work on making edible Christmas trees covered with smarties and sprinkles…yummy!!

All of the boys and girls in Junior and Senior Infants are on Santa’s good list this year and so we are now ready for our holidays as we eagerly await Santa’s visit… only a few more sleeps to go!

Merry Christmas everyone!

The children in Junior and Senior Infants worked tirelessly in groups in order to design and make the most creative and unique buildings you’ve ever seen in conjunction with our SESE theme of ‘Homes and Houses’. There may well be some engineers or architects in the making!
