We had great fun today planting our cress seeds in our little pots 🙂

We had great fun over the last few weeks preparing for Easter in Junior Infants. We created beautiful pieces of artwork as a class and also with the help of 6th class!

For the remainder of March and April, we will be looking at the theme of the garden centre. We will be planting various flowers in the yard, using soil during Aistear, designing flower pots and pretending we are going to the garden centre. Take a look at our Aistear corner.

In junior infants we were learning about where milk comes from. We looked at a PowerPoint at the various steps that milk goes through before we buy it from the shop. The children then worked together to sequence the various picture cards.

For the month of February, we are looking at the theme of the farm. Take a look at our role play station in the Aistear corner.

For the month of January we are focussing on the strand of outdoor and adventure in PE. Yesterday we completed some orienteering exercises where the children had to navigate the hall, matching pictures of animals to their corresponding colour. They really enjoyed it!

We’ve almost completed all of the individual sounds in the jolly phonics programme!

We listened to this story in school, you might like to listen to it again at home and draw your favourite part of the story for homework 🙂

We had a chocolatey time in Junior Infants yesterday! We filled the cookies in our cookie jar so we had a hot chocolate party! We even had some yummy marshmallows with it!

We also did a ‘how to draw’ of a hot chocolate on the art hub and coloured in some hot chocolate themed pictures 🙂
