First Class

First class have been keeping busy this term. They have been drawing scarecrows, studying the artwork of David Hockney, working on their collective nouns and enjoying nature walks when the weather is dry. They have used the iPads to illustrate Irish myths and legends and have been working hard on their tables and spellings.

The pupils have been singing pop songs, reading in the Cúinne Scéalaíochta and playing games during P.E.

They have been learning how to do cursive handwriting and each day the best handwriter in the class has a chance to sit at the Bord Scríobhnóireachta!

In preparation for Halloween the pupils made spooky skeletons which can be seen hanging on their classroom door!

Walk to School Week

This week was Walk to School Week. Well done to all our wonderful pupils who made a big effort to walk and park and stride to school this week. Classes also designed their own runners, drew their journey to school, blinged their runners, went on class walks and made ads and movies to raise awareness about sustainable travel.

Senior Infants

Since returning to school four weeks ago we have been very busy in senior infants! We have been enjoying some role play for our Aistear theme “The School”. Autumn is such a great season for colourful art. Using oranges, reds, yellows and browns we have made autumn wreaths. We also have a new addition to Aistear this year – a sand pit! It is proving to be very popular for messy play! We have also learned a new poem called “Smile”.
