Junior Room- February


Yet another busy month in the Infant Classroom!

Aistear
During February, we were learning about "The Gardener/ Garden Centre" and "The Farmer/ Spring Animals". We learned about the different parts of the plant and we now can name some well known flowers which can be seen in any Irish Garden. We had great fun doing our flower paintings using some different vegetables. We integrated some famous childhood stories for this month’s theme “The Enormous Turnip” and “Farmer Duck”. The children thoroughly enjoyed acting out these stories in their home corner over the weeks. The children are working very creatively in their groups and they produced a fantastic Farm Scene display in our classroom. The children created some lovely small word farms which showed their understanding of the topic.        
              



3-D Robots
The children had great fun making their 3-D Robots last Friday using recyclable materials which they brought in from home. This was linking in with our Maths topic for the week.
                                                           

Martial Arts
The children have completed their four sessions of martial arts.  They really enjoyed the classes and Paul kept them on their toes each week. It was a memorable experience for the children.


Young Achievers
The Children have started their Young Achievers programme with Bríd Kavannagh. Colourful story books and interesting activities have won the children’s interest over the past two Wednesday morning slots! Lots more interesting activities are to follow according to Bríd.
                                                     

After School Science
The children started their first Science class last week with Christine. It was an exciting time for the children. They were fascinated with the results of the acid/ base testing experiments which they carried out.
                                                    

Good News Travels Fast
The children were delighted to hear the good news of the arrival of Mrs. Doyle’s new baby Henry. We wish them both the very best and the children made a lovely decorative card especially for Mrs. Doyle.
