HUMPTY DUMPTY
Infants worked really hard a few weeks ago to put Humpty Dumpty back together again…It was a challenging task but they did a miraculous job!!!
Maths Week in Infants
Maths Week in the Infant Classroom was a huge success! The children participated in a variety of activities including skip counting from 2 to 30 as they skipped, and marching and jumping to the accompanying music. They also chanted number rhymes with our rhyme of the week being one of our favourites, Two Little Dickie Birds. The children also worked impressively in pairs to engage in our Maths Trail at the end of the week. Well done to all for their participation and effort!!
First Day in Infants 2018
All Junior and Senior Infants playing happily together on the first day of school!
Active Schools Week 2018
As part of our Active Flag Campaign and to celebrate Active Schools week, we had a spring themed Sports Day on Friday 27th April 2018. These events were supervised by the staff and members of the Active Schools Committee. All these events were fun and encouraged physical activity in a fun setting! Please have a peek at the wonderful things our children got up to on the day.
Active Non-Competitive Running Initiative
This initiative proved successful in our school. We began our running challenge in March 2019 and have been doing it everyday. Weather didn’t stop our efforts! We used our walking track for this initiative, running ten laps or 1 km each day per classroom. This equated to 3km a day and 15km per week! Our challenge was to complete 60km in total, within the space of 4 weeks. We tried to do our running after lunch and this kept us awake and alert to complete our afternoon’s work. Before and after our run our Active Leaders lead some warm-up and cool-down activities. The children really enjoyed this initiative and we still get the children out for a jog as part of our active breaks!
Infants 2017
Look at some of the lovely art we have done throughout the year.
Oral Hygiene Workshop
On 8th March ’17 Maureen Mc Inearney visited our school to train our staff on the importance of oral health for children. Staff completed a course to equip them with the skills necessary to teach children about how necessary it is for them to look after their teeth and gums. Parents also received a lesson on oral hygiene in a workshop provided by Maureen. Everyone learned about the importance of correct teeth brushing and a healthy diet to ensure a healthy smile. Children received certificates and oral hygiene packs from Maureen for completing the Mighty Mouth Programme.
Junior Infant’s First Day 2016
On Monday the 26th of June, most of the new pupils that will be joining us in September came for a tour of their new school. They met the staff, visited their new classroom, had a look around the school and got a certificate to mark the occasion.
We look forward to meeting our new Junior Infants again as they start their journey in primary school in September.
