Christmas Fair

We have been very busy making crafts for the Christmas Fair. We made lots of Christmas cards and some Christmas tree decorations.

Halloween

We really enjoyed Halloween in the Junior Room. Everyone dressed up and brought in €2. We donated all the money to Trick or Treat for Temple Street. We also did lots of English and Irish work on Halloween and we even had time to make some pumpkins!

Jolly Phonics

We are continuing to learn all our sounds. Here is the link to the Jolly Phonics Songs:

Science Week

During Science Week we looked at forces. The Junior and Senior Infants looked at pushes and pulls. The 1st and 2nd class looked at friction. We enjoyed carrying out an experiment to see hoe friction effected the distance a car travelled.

You can find out more about friction by looking at the link below.

Shape Hunt

We have been exploring 2D shapes in maths. We went on a shape hunt to find out which shapes we could find around the school. We had great fun. 

Busy September

We had a very busy start to the new school year. We enjoyed playing with all the lovely educational toys in our class and getting to know one another.
