September
Welcome back to our senior infant class and a big welcome to our twelve new junior infants.
During September, we settled into the school routine
understanding where our playground is, where we hang our coats, where we sit and the importance of listening well in class.
October
October was a very busy month with lots of fun and learning.
Jolly Phonics
Junior Infants started learning all about their
letters and sounds. They are all doing a fantastic job and they will be reading
before we know it !
Aistear
We have started our aistear work again. Our themes in
October were English all around us, colours all around us, Maths all around us
and Autumn. It has been a great fun learning experience for everyone in our 4
stations of small world, home corner, reading/writing and art.
Maths Week
We had great fun
during maths week. Our Aistear theme was also Maths all around us, so we were
learning all about shapes, numbers, patterns and understanding that Maths is
something we do every day. We all went on a maths trail outside where we saw
numbers, shapes and patterns outside in our playground and garden.
Colours All Around Us
In our “colours all
around us” week we learned about colours, rainbows and we even went on a
colours trail to see how many colours there are outside.
English All Around Us
English All Around Us
During English all
around us, we had great fun acting out the story of “we are going on a bear
hunt” and creating a map of the story.
Autumn
Our Autumn theme
allowed us to collect lots items for our nature table. In small world we
made a beautiful Autumn forest and in art we made Autumn trees.
Halloween
The children are very excited about Halloween and on
our last day before the mid term we all dressed up and went on a parade in the
car park. We had great fun making witches and black cats and watched a movie
with popcorn before we went home.
Happy Halloween
Everyone
