January 2016

The infant room has been very busy during January.

Jolly Phonics
The junior infant children are nearly finished learning their letters for the jolly phonics programme and are ready to start reading. The children are very excited and can't wait to start reading.

Write-a-Book Competition
The senior infant children are busy writing their write a books. The topic is our favourite season and each child is writing their own book. We will be submitting them to the Blackrock Education Centre on February 12th.

Green Schools Poster Competition
Each classroom are creating posters to highlight our green schools message. Our key message is using bins and removing rubbish in our schools.

The theme for January is weather and seasons. We were discussing weather, seasons and clothes. The children designed clothes for different weathers for their teddies and had a teddy bear fashion show. In addition the children learned all about being weather scientists and how to forecast the weather. The children conducted lots of weather experiments and how the water cycle works.

December 2015

Christmas Carol Service
The junior and senior infants  were delighted to be part of the school’s Christmas Carol Service. We performed Leanbh Beag Iosa with 1st & 2nd Class and a Gift to you on our own. It was a beautiful carol service and the Hosanna Rock was fabulous. The icing on the cake was performing our service in our wonderful new sports hall. What a great evening!

Ovoca Manor
The junior, senior infants & 1st class children were thrilled to be invited to Ovoca Manor to see the Follow the Star. The children really enjoyed the performance and activities.




Avondale Community College
The junior infants were invited to a special Christmas party in Avondale Community College. We sang Christmas carols and met Santa. It was a lovely morning of Christmas spirit.

Christmas Disco
The children had a wonderful time at the Christmas Disco and of course visiting Santa. All the children in the infant room were told by Santa that they were on the good list!

In December the infants learned about the nativity story, Santa’s Workshop and the Christmas Post Office.  We also made lots of Christmas arts and crafts.
