Senior Infants Room 4: Maths Trail

As part of Maths Week, we went on a shape hunt around the yard today. There were lots of  circles, squares, rectangles and even triangles all around the yard. We worked with our elbow buddy to find the shapes and draw them on our worksheet. Afterwards we counted the number of giant steps between some of the classroom lines.

Senior Infants Room 3: Planting Hyacinths

Today the children in room 3 planted our own hyacinths. We placed the bulb into the soil and covered the top with some more soil. We learned that plants need water and sunlight to grow so we watered them and left them sitting on the window sill to catch the sun. We will keep you updated as they begin to grow!   To see more photos of us planting our hyacinths click...

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 ...

Junior Infants Room 2: Patterns And Pals

Room 2 made lots of lovely new  patterns with their cubes and sponges this week, pointing out what comes first,  next, before and after. They made shopping lists for their trip to the class market, weighed their shopping, and experimented with lots of magnets, sorting things that are magnetic from things that aren’t! As part of Anti-Bullying week at Citywest & Saggart CNS, Room 2 also talked about what it means to be a good friend to their pals, and made giant posters identifying five people they can go to if they think they are being bullied. Well done Room 2 on a super week at school 🙂 For more photos please click here....
