Integrated Learning Theme - Homes

Senior Infants have enjoyed lots of fun and challenging activities within the topic 'Homes'. We tried new things, learned new skills and practised some old ones.

Number Work

During this lesson we revised numbers 1-6. We had great fun sucking up peas using a straw and putting them into bun cases.

Healthy Eating

In October we also learned about Healthy Eating. We made healthy food plates using play dough.

The Doctor's Surgery

We had great fun last term learning about myself. We set up a doctor's surgery and treated many very ill patients. We made binoculars to help us see, we did skeleton cutting activities and we built a small world hospital.

Senior Infants Tasting Session

We tasted a variety of foods.

As part of Maths Week 2018

we explored the topic of Shape. The children showed great creativity and imagination when using the shapes to create pictures.

Senior Infant Word Detectives

We went searching for clues in the General Purpose Room. All the clues were cvc words belonging to the ‘at’ family. We had great fun and found lots of ‘at’ words.

Maths Week this year ran from October 10th - 18th. In 5th & 6th Classes we did an escape-the-room type challenge in our pods. Some of the challenges were really tricky but Mrs Kelso and Mrs Berry were amazed at the determination and inventiveness of some of our pupils who just would not give up until they cracked the final code! Super work!

As part of our work on Plant life in Living Things in Science we took part in National Tree Day's big campaign to plant 1,500 native tree saplings in schools around Ireland. Our wild cherry arrived last week as a tiny sapling and is now safely planted in the science garden. Hopefully, it will be strong enough to weather the winter and grow big and strong!

Sadly, this year we were unable to have our usual Christmas celebrations with parents. We did have great fun however in adapting, performing and recording a play for the other classes to watch. Mince-pie obsessed Santas tried to sneak treats under Mrs Claus' watchful eye and unfortunate foxes, a frugal Goldilocks, misunderstood wolves and many others all tried to persuade Santa to move them to the Nice List!

Adam's hard work

We were delighted to find that Adam's hard work and design skills had earned him a prize in the Museum's Lego Spitfire design competition in November! Not only that, but there was another winner in the same house!
