Halloween in Junior and Senior Infants

Written by

We have had lots of fun preparing for Halloween this October.

We learned about the history of Halloween and spoke about the different traditions that we have at home at Halloween. We also discussed how to stay safe at Halloween, especially this year! We learned a new Halloween rhyme, ‘Witches Witches!’ and had a Halloween Dance Party outside!

For art we created beautiful pumpkins from clay, have a look at the fun we had in the process!

 

The children also used Halloween themed playdough mats to make their own Halloween creations. Have a look at our spooky names below.

 

Finally, we held a Halloween themed colouring competition. Well done to our winners JJ and Robyn!

 

Wishing you all a safe and happy mid-term break. Well done to our infants on all of their hard work this term!

Although we celebrated Halloween in a slightly different way this year, we still participated in lots of Halloween activities.  We learned lots about the History of Halloween and its’ traditions in S.E.S.E., we learned lots of tips about keeping safe in S.P.H.E. and created our own safety tips posters, we wrote our own acrostic Halloween poems and completed Halloween Spiders and Frames in Art.  We were delighted that we still got the opportunity to dress up and participate in a fancy dress parade!  The outfits were fabulous!  We finished our last day before our Halloween holidays,  with a Halloween movie and some tasty treats.

Hallowe’en in 5th & 6th Class

We had a wonderful time getting ready for Hallowe’en this year. The pupils worked hard on creating spooky artwork. They wrote and dramatised Irish stories -‘An Cleas Iontach’ which were truly magnificent. They composed an interesting version of our poem ‘An Púca’ which will be able to be viewed on our Facebook page. They shared Hallowe’en stories and ‘Tall Tales’, discussed the History of Hallowe’en and enjoyed their fancy dress party on the last day! Have a SPOOKTACULAR Hallowe’en everyone!!

What a busy start to the year it has been in 3rd and 4th class. We have all been getting to know each other and we have settled into our new classroom.

The boys and girls have been working really hard, but have been having great fun too!

Maths

Maths has been all about adding and subtracting, and we have even challenged ourselves with some multiplication and division too.

The children have been revising all of their times tables and we are currently holding a bit of challenge to see who really knows them all.

Literacy

We are enjoying reading Charlotte’s Web and look forward to watching the movie once we have completed the book.

PE

The children have been enjoying GAA with Cillian every Tuesday with games and skills.

Art

There are many budding artists in our room. See some of the masterpieces we have created below.

We received a lovely delivery of brand new board games to our room  – a great addition for Golden Time!
