December…
What an exciting month! Firstly, Ann Marie the Librarian from Browne’s Road library came to our school to share some wonderful Christmas stories with us, they were very funny stories. Then we were learning all about the post office and we were delighted when Gearldine from the local post office came to visit us to tell us all about her work. We were so
inspired we did a role play of the post office for Aistear. We also created our Christmas stockings and made some reindeer food. For Art we made some handmade Christmas cards for our families which we posted at the local post box.
We were very busy preparing for our Christmas concert. We performed on the big stage in the school hall. We did a super job entertaining everyone, all of our grown ups and teaching staff are immensely proud of us and the wonderful job we did.

November…
This month we learned all about day and night and space. We had great fun discovering the differences between night and day and learning about the nocturnal owl. We even printed beautiful owls for Art, they look very impressive. During Aistear we enjoyed constructing our very own space rocket using polydrons for our big adventure into space. We used
our imaginations as we walked and floated on the moon. Being an astronaut was amazing fun! Science week also took place and we really enjoyed all the guided learning and discovery activities we participated in with the 6 th class girls.
October…
October was a very busy month for all the Senior Infants. We were learning all about Halloween and the season of Autumn. We went on our Autumn trail to find signs of Autumn and we found signs of Autumn everywhere. We collected lots of beautiful yellow, red, orange and brown Autumn leaves which we later used to make a leaf rubbing. It was so
much fun learning and discovering outside with our classmates. We really enjoyed learning about the hedgehog. We learned a poem called ‘The hedgehog has such funny prickles’ and during Aistear we made clay hedgehogs. Our creations looked really amazing. We had great fun dressing up for Halloween! We made lots of lovely things and worked hard too!
September…
A new school year has started and all of the Senior Infant girls in room 1 are really delighted to be back in school and meeting up with all of our friends again.
This month we’ve been very busy learning all about Myself, My Family and School. We brought in some of our baby photographs and items from home. We had great fun looking at these items and realising how much we have all grown.
We created maps of our school journey – cutting and sticking all the different buildings we pass on our journey every morning and afternoon to and from school.
Aistear was very exciting this month. We created houses out of the polydrons, played with the dolls house, dressed the dolls and created our very own self portraits using fabric and fibres. They look fantastic!
Friendship week took place during the month and we enjoyed having some reading and Game activities with our 5th and 6th class buddies.
We’re off to a flying start and looking forward to a super year ahead. Take a look at our pictures and see us in action!
