Senior Infants Room 4: Space and Planets

We have been learning about Space and the Solar System. During our playtime we get the chance to be astronauts and fly a rocket to different planets. We can also play aliens and the astronauts who landed on our planet have been asking us lots of interesting questions about life on our planet. We also learnt about the first man who walked on the moon. Ask us to tell you about the moon and the names of the men who flew the Apollo 11 to the moon. We have had great fun exploring the Solar System in our rocket. Please click here to see some more...

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...

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...

Senior Infants Room 4: Giving instructions

We have been writing about giving instructions this week. We use the word ‘first’ to start our instructions and we use the word ‘then’ to describe the next step. Our last step starts with the word ‘finally’. We wrote about how to play a game and how to make toast. See if we can explain how to play the game! Please click here to see some more...

Senior Infants Room 4: The boy who cried wolf

This week we heard the story of the boy who cried wolf. We found some pictures of the story but they were all mixed up! We worked with our elbow buddy to put the pictures in the right order. Please look at our pictures outside the classroom.   Ms Harney recorded some of us re-telling the story. Here are some of these stories: https://cscns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/VOICE004.mp3 https://cscns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/VOICE003.mp3 https://cscns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/VOICE002.mp3 Please click here to see more...

Senior Infants Room 4: Drippy the Raindrop

We have been learning about Drippy the Raindrop. He started off relaxing in the sea but it got too hot and he evaporated up into the clouds. The cloud became too full and Drippy fell out of the cloud. He landed in a stream. He floated down the stream which became a river and the river led to the sea. The whole cycle starts all over again! Ask us about Drippy the Raindrop’s journey. Please click here to see our lovely water cycle pictures....
