Junior Infants have had a wonderful few weeks settling into ‘big school’ and they have been working so hard. We have been busy with our morning fine motor activities, playing outside, making new friends, and of course, washing our hands. Check out some of the things we have been up to! In maths, we have been learning our colours and making patterns!

We’ve also been listening to the story of the Three Little Pigs and Humpty Dumpty. We helped Humpty build his wall, built the little pig’s houses, and even made masks for the three little pigs using 2D shapes and patterns!

Congratulations to our Junior Infants Sports Day winners who were presented with their awards in a special assembly today. All of the children who took part won a medal but we also had three special prizes in each class: Sports Day Spirit, Best Motivator and Good Sport. A big bualadh bos for our winners and well done to all of the children who made Sports Day great fun for everyone.

The Junior Infants had a great time at Sports Day today! Thank you to the rain for staying away, to Mrs. Ryan for the ice-cream van and to all of the parents, grandparents and other supporters who cheered us on!

Last week the Junior Infants were very lucky to be visited by Beth from Willow wonder. The boys and girls learned about weaving with natural materials and Beth showed us how to make a bug hotel for our garden!

Mr. Callan's Junior Infant class had a great time celebrating World Book Day! We dressed up as our favourite characters, and got free book tokens to buy our very own books with. A big thank you too to the parents who volunteered to come in and read us their favourite stories.

Thanks to Mrs. Bartowiak for sending in lovely pastries and pączki to Mr. Callan's and Ms. Nugent's classes. We decided to relax the healthy eating rules for a day to share in the Polish celebration of Tłusty Czwartek (Fat Thursday).and the children (and teachers) were happy to do so!

We got a big surprise today in Mr. Callan's class when the Sam Maguire trophy came to visit our room! Thanks to Stephen from Thomas Davis for bringing Sam back for a second trip to the school!

Maths Week!

Mr. Callan's Junior Infant class would like to thank all of the parents who came in to join us for Maths games during Maths Week. We had a great time learning with you!

The Junior Infants in Mr. Callan's class have settled in to school really well. We've been learning so many things like finding out about the weather and different seasons. We've also learned our colours and have even started working on counting and numbers.
