The penultimate week of our cooking/baking programme seen us making smoothies which we were delighted to enjoy outside! It’s great to see the good weather here!
Smoothies in the Infant Classroom
March
We have been very busy in the infant classroom lately. We are lucky to be joined by Ms Collier, a student teacher, over the next few weeks. We are still enjoying our GAA coaching every week with Cillian, and have also been flat out baking every Tuesday! You can see some of the yummy treats that we have made so far below!
We also held a Lá Glás to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge. The children went on a leprechaun hunt around that school grounds and although we spotted a few, we didn’t manage to catch one!
Cookery in the Infant Room
For session two of our cookery programme, we made pizzas! We had so much fun preparing these yummy snacks!
Pancake Tuesday in the Infant Room
Our infants were so excited on Tuesday 1st March 2022 as we begun our six-week cooking/baking block. Week one happened to fall on Pancake Tuesday so we decided to make some yummy pancakes! We learned all about following a recipe, and how to measure the ingredients. Our infants did an amazing job baking, and sampling, their recipe!
Winter Art in the Infant Classroom
Our infants have been working hard this January learning all about Winter. Have a look at some of the art projects we completed as part of our learning!
St. Brigid’s Day
Our wonderful infants learned all about St. Brigid on 1st February 2022. We then made these beautiful St. Brigid’s cloaks using fabric.
Christmas in Junior and Senior Infants
The past few weeks have been packed with fun, excitement and creativity in the infant classroom. The children engaged in a variety of different Christmas activities, such as learning Christmas rhymes, singing songs as Gaeilge, and learning about Christmas traditions. We also learned all about Advent and the Christmas Story.
We enjoyed completing a variety of Christmas art projects. The children made Christmas Tree decorations from clay, Santa masks and Christmas cards for their parents.
We had lots of fun rehearsing for our Christmas Concert – the infants put on an amazing show! All of the boys and girls in Junior and Senior Infants are on Santa’s good list this year and so we are now eagerly awaiting Santa’s visit… only a few more sleeps to go!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Read-A-Thon
Well done to all of the boys and girls who took part in our Read-A-Thon. You raised an incredible €1400 to purchase books for our school.
Every child who returned a sponsorship card was then entered into a raffle for a €50 Smyths Voucher. Congratulations to our winner Seán – happy spending!!
Food Dudes
Food Dudes is an award winning curriculum-linked evidence-based healthy eating programme, developed to encourage children to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. It is based on repeated tastings of fresh fruit and vegetables, rewards and positive role models.
The boys and girls were delighted to take part again this year, and enjoyed plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Well done everyone!
Visit from Santa 2021
We were very lucky on Monday 13th December to have a visit from the one-and-only Santa Claus. The children got to tell Santa what they want for Christmas, and received a beautiful photo and gift. What a special start to the week!
Thank you to our Parent’s Association for making it all possible!
