Hard to believe we are approaching the end of June and the end of Senior Infants! June has been a busy month with lots of events and activities.
May… We are getting into the summer spirit here in room 5 and learning all about the great outdoors and the garden. The girls loved learning about minibeasts and how plants grow. We took our learning outdoors and went on bug hunts, garden scavenger hunts and even platned some broad beans. During Aistear the girls chose to have a garden centre and had great fun with the tuff tray making a garden.
April… We spent the month of April learning about all things animals! The girls loved being vets in our class zoo. They designed and created lovely enclosures for our new arrivals and even engaged in some coding lessons. The girls wrote lovely reports on their favourite zoo animals and had a great oral debate about whether zoos are a good or bad thing!
December… We have been eagerly waiting here all month for the big day!! We have been learning about the first Christmas, the work of the post office getting all our parcels around the world and of course the big mam himself !
November… In November we learned about all things Space , the girls loved zooming off to Space during Aistear and they made beautiful art work .
October… We have been busy this month learning all about Autumn and Harvest on the farm. We created beautiful autumn trees and clay hedgehogs. We designed and built new vehicles for Farmer Duck.
We loved working with our buddies for world Mental Health Day !
We also engaged in Maths week activities and nature trails, the girls even had a visit to the local library this month
The 18thof September marked the start of Friendship Week, a week where we explored friendship, we discussed how to be a good friend and how to include others in our games. The children were introduced to their 6th Class buddy who they will work closely with throughout the year. The girls had a great Friendship Week packed with storytelling, arts and crafts and P.E.
