Room 2 has been taken over by the smartest little giants who have been very busy practicing and writing their new numbers and sounds this week. They have been reading the brilliant story of ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’, learning all about the characters in it, and talking about how kind the giant was to his friends. They made masks to act out the story with, worked with their elbow buddies to build and find their way around the giant’s town, going backwards, forwards, over, under and around the bridges and rivers, and even made themselves into smart little giants using lovely materials Vinny left for them as a surprise- they may be short giants but they have very long legs! They have also been learning all about clothes and the weather this week, made their own weather wheels, and learnt a new ryhme about a little boy who was so tired he got all of his clothes mixed up before going to bed! Well done Room 2, what a smart little bunch of giants you are! For more photos of these smart little giants at work see...

Room 2 have been doing wonderful work over the Winter season! They made some fantastic charts recording their favourite community helpers, and figured out that most people in the class wanted to be a scientist or a doctor, and less people wanted to be vets, dentists, or a police man or lady. They have also been exploring length, worked together to order lots of objects from shortest to longest, and made a class height chart to see who was tallest and who was shortest. They practiced lots of songs and rhymes for their Winter Concert and really enjoyed learning their Snowflake song and penguin dance! Room 2 have been caring for their hyacinths this Winter by giving them all the things living things need to grow– air to breath, light, water to drink, and food and a home (soil) to grow in- their plants are getting very tall now! They had great fun exploring touch as one of their five senses, read “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”, and did a touch-test with their elbow buddy who blind-folded them and guided their hand into different pots of soft, dry grass, cool river water, squishy mud, cold, hard ice-cubes, and soft, warm fur! They had great words to describe what they felt! Which do you think would feel nicest? Well done Room 2, Ms. Larkin and Vinny think you are a Winter Wonder Class 🙂 For more photos of them at work this Winter see...

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...

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.

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...
