Our three senior infant classes got into the festive spirit last Friday when they held Festive Friday. There was a sense of excitement in the air as they wore festive headgear to school. They got to decorate bauble biscuits while Christmas songs played in the background. (more…)
We have decided to hold Fun Fridays over the month of December. First week up, and fifth/sixth class decided to hold Fluffy Friday. All the girls wore their fluffy socks and brought their fluffy blankets to school. They looked so comfy and enjoyed this lovely treat. (more…)
Third class have been bitten by the writing bug. Not only did they write letters to the residents of Dunabbey House, but now they are writing to their Swedish penpals. They were delighted to get the opportunity to show off their letter writing skills once again and are eagerly awaiting a reply in the New Year.
Junior infants worked on The Gingerbread Man story in Aistear this week. (more…)
Once again our outdoor Aistear area is proving to be invaluable. First class got to use it this week and their theme was The Dentist. The children were engaged with the many activities and benefited from lots of hands on learning. They can’t wait for their return visit.
Ms. Smith’s first class have been practising their “cúpla focal” as gaeilge this week. Their topic was Am Bricfeasta. As they put in such a great effort, they were treated to a real breakfast in school last Friday. (more…)
The most recent Aistear theme was “At the Doctor’s Surgery”. The boys and girls got to explore all aspects of the doctor’s surgery. (more…)
Our two junior infant classes had great fun celebrating World Nursery Rhyme Week. Not only did they get to recite their favourite nursery rhymes, but they got to accompany them with some beautiful artwork. Everyone received a certificate to mark their hard work at the end of the week.
Junior infants have been very busy learning about patterns in maths. They even integrated one of their PE lessons with maths and made use of some of our PE equipment. They used two colours to make their patterns. Well done everyone. It was a great idea!
We would like to say a big big thank you to Cartamundi, for generously donating board games to each class in our school. The boys and girls were ecstatic to receive the brand new games. They will provide the children with much needed entertainment, especially given the times that we find ourselves in. Thank you once again. It was a very kind gesture.
