Senior Infants Room 4: Winter Concert

Room 4 worked very hard last week practising for our Winter Concert. We learnt some new songs, revised our new sounds and used our new Irish phrases to help us go shopping. Everyone had a job to do, some children had lines, some children showed us the actions to an Irish rhyme and some children showed everyone what we do in P.E. We hope that our audience enjoyed the concert. We had great fun! Please click here to see some more photos. I hope that everyone enjoys the break and look forward to welcoming everyone back in...

First Class Room 9: Winter Concert

Many thanks to the parents/guardians from Room 9 that came in to see our Winter Concert. The children really enjoyed your company. We worked very hard to make the Winter Concert the success that it was. It was a great chance for the children to practise their speaking and confidence skills.

Junior Infants Room 2: C-C-C-Community!

Room 2 have been learning all about their community over the last few weeks, as well as the ‘c/k’ sound!  They built their own towns, matched different community helpers to the places they work, and were very fortunate to have had two Fire Fighters from the Dublin Fire Brigade visit them yesterday, along with all of their friends in Rooms 1 and 5. Fire Fighters Alan and Karl taught the Junior Infants all about fire safety, and recruited them onto their ‘Fire Safety Team’ for the Winter period, when we have to be so careful of lights and candles in our homes… Well done Room 2 on being excellent community helpers this week 🙂 For more photos of them hard at work, learning and playing, please see...

Senior Infants Room 4: King Tutankhamun

We have been learning about King Tutankhamun in history. He became king when he was only nine years old! We imagined what we would do if we were a king or a queen. He was buried in a tomb in a pyramid – ask us about what was buried with King Tutankhamun. Look at us making our own pharaoh masks. Please click here to see some more...

Junior Infants Room 2: Taispáin Dom… !

This week Room 2 have been putting all the Irish they have learnt into practice, finding lots of things around the room when Ms. Larkin calls out ‘Taispáin dom…!’ (show me…) – they are getting so good at their Gaeilge 🙂  They have also been exploring the theme of Community (the people and place where we live) and have been busy in the Doctor’s surgery, making sure Ms. Polly’s Dolly gets better! They made wonderful colourful art works by ‘taking a dot for a walk‘ , creating lots of interesting lines (curvy, straight, zig zag!). Room 2 also made two class charts this week, and discovered that the class’s favourite shape is the circle, and their favourite pet is the rabbit, because most people liked them! Well done on another super week at school 🙂 For more photos please click...
