Happy New Year from Junior Infants! We’ve been getting really good at using our scissors!

Take a look at our creations!! We cut and coloured the numbers ourselves 🙂

We had lots of lovely treats over the month of December in Junior Infants, including designing our very own Christmas puddings, a visit from Santa Claus and a Christmas scavenger hunt around the school with 6th class! Check out some of the highlights 🙂

It was a very exciting day in Junior Infants today. We all brought in our favourite teddy’s to school. We had a disco with them, they got to go on the parachute in PE and even got to join in on a teddy bear picnic when we were eating our lunch 😊

They also chilled out in our reading corner for a while!

We had a great day today in Junior Infants. Today’s Advent Calendar suggested we had a hot chocolate day. They were yummy! We even added some marshmallows to it 🍬

Take a look at the creations we made using chalk and tree stencils 🎄

As a nice way of counting down the days until Christmas, we have created our very own Advent Calendar in Junior Infants.
Each day we’ve a Christmas themed activity to complete! We’re having so much fun looking forward to what’s in store for each day of December in our class!

So far we’ve done Christmas art, sang Jingle Bells and watched a few minutes of a Christmas movie! I wonder what’s in store for tomorrow 🎄🥰✨

So December has arrived, and so has the theme of Christmas!

Santa’s workshop is up and running in the role play section for Aistear!

We have just finished learning the sounds from phase 3 of the jolly phonics programme. You might like to try practise the sounds at home 🙂

As well as learning all about postmen and postwomen who help deliver letters to our houses, we have been also learning about the other people who help us in the community including doctors, nurses and firemen.

We decided to design our very own fire engines in art! Take a look at our colourful creations!!

In Junior Infants, we have been learning all about the story of the letter and the various steps the letter goes through before being delivered to your house!

We drew some pictures, placed stamps on envelopes and addressed them to the people in our life we love very much.

We then walked around to the post box beside our school and put the letters into the post box!

This morning we watched out for the postman/ postwoman and some of us have already received our letters in our own letter boxes / through the letterbox in our door!!
