The infant room has been very busy during October with everyone really looking forward to Halloween!
Aistear
The theme for October was All Around Us.
English All Around Us
The children revised their jolly phonics letters and digraphs through art, small world, home corner and reading & writing.
Colours All Around Us
The children revised all of their colours by colouring rainbows, acting out the story of brown bear and went on a colours trail.
Maths All Around Us
The children learned that maths is everywhere and we made number characters, number face portraits, maths trail, create stories in small world for 10 fat sausages, 5 monkeys jumping on a bed, elephants on a spiders web.
Autumn All Around Us
The children learned to spot the signs of Autumn, we acted out the story of Room on a Broom and in art made some fab Halloween spiders, ghosts & witches legs aswell as Autumn trees.
Glendalough
We visited the Glendalough Wicklow National Park. The children explored the education room with all of the animals and nature. The children then went on a treasure hunt to find the colours of the park. After lunch we collected leaves and did some leaf rubbings. It was a fantastic day out.
Maths Week 2017
During Maths week we had a fantastic maths trail with 5th & 6th classes. Each child had a passport which they stamped at each maths activity. It was fantastic. Every day each child was awarded as a Maths Wizard.
MS Readathon
Each child are still working hard on the readathon. Even though the junior infants can't fully read yet - they can record stories that are read to them and also when they find the phonic letters that we have learned. Also the senior infants can record their oxford reading tree books.
Halloween
The children had great fun on our dress up day. The day was themed around our favourite book characters in conjunction with the MS Readathon.
