Junior Infants Room 2: The Clothes Shop

Room 2 have been learning all about the clothes shop this week. They made shopping lists, wonderful clothes out of different materials, and used their money (1, 2 and 5 cents) to buy their friends presents, checking the clothes were the right size, and not too big or small. They learnt a new rhyme about three little kittens who lost their mittens, made their own set of patterned mittens and created waterproof coats for Vinny so he doesn’t get wet in that rainy weather we’ve been having recently… especially now that we can make rain in room 2 with our rainmakers! Room 2 have been learning lots about the weather and decided it rains a LOT during the Winter season in Ireland!

We learned that frogs hibernate during winter. We wrote our own book with frog facts inside. During art we have being making lighter and darker shades, so we painted a frog by mixing black with green for a dark green and white with green for a light green. Take a look at our pictures...

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.
