September 2017

We are delighted to have welcomed 15 new infants to our classroom. We have been very busy getting used to our school routines and activities. Each morning the children play together in groups and get to know all of their classmates.

Jolly Phonics
The junior infants have started learning their letters through the Jolly Phonics Programme. They have learned s,a,t,i so far and are very excited doing their homework.

Aistear
The junior & senior infants were very excited to start Aistear. The theme for this month is All around us- English all around us, Colours all around us, Maths all around us and Autumn all around us. The children are all in their groups - elephants, leopards, giraffes, crocodiles.

Mrs Lawson
We were all very sad to say goodbye to Mrs Lawson but we all did our best to give her the best send off possible. It was so lovely when she came into our room and we sang "Jesus is my best friend" and Lamh Lamh Eile. We also presented to her our artwork of our hands to her. She said it was the best day of her life (next to her wedding!)

Playground
As a thank you for all the infants hard work we went to the playground for our golden time. We all loved our trip to the playground.

National Fitness Day
We had great fun on National Fitness Day. The infants beat Mrs Doyle and Sarah in the races - there were lots of types of races- running, elephants, robots, hopping, skipping, The infants were the first children to earn points for the school and the children were triumphant at the end !!
