Senior Infants Room 7: A Busy Week

We had such a busy week last week. We went gardening and then wrote about the procedure of planting. We have been looking at length. We have been finding long and short objects, we measured things with cubes and with lollipop sticks. Then we measured each other with lollipop sticks to find out who was the tallest. In science we have been learning about body parts, so in art we decided to make life size drawings of our elbow buddy. Have a look at pictures our busy week...

Senior Infants Room 7: An Maith Leat Cáis?

We are looking at the theme of food (Bia) in Irish this month. We have been focusing on the three phrases “Is maith liom _______” (I like), “Ní maith liom ________” (I don’t like), and An maith leat _______? (Do you like ______?) Have a listen to the rhyme we learned “An maith leat cáis?” (Do you like cheese?)   We also played shop through Irish and welcomed the medical center into our room.

Senior Infants Room 7: Toby’s Home

A fairy has moved into our classroom. His name is Toby and he leaves us messages. He even wrote a recount for us to read. It is so great to have a fairy’s home in our classroom, especially because we have been learning about different types of homes. We listened to the story of the three little pigs, we learned about different types of houses, different rooms and we designed our own room in a fairy house. We all enjoyed miming different activities we do each in room of the house. Hopefully, Toby really enjoyed watching us too. For more photos please click ...
