Senior Infants Room 5: History with Julia’s Mum

We had a very special visitor today. Julia’s Mum came in to tell us all about when she was small. She showed us some games that she played – badminton, skipping and making shapes with string. She also showed us how she used a piece of elastic to make a jumping game. There was no Internet or mobile phones when Julia’s mum was growing up. She played lots of games with her friends outside. We asked her some questions about the weather in Poland, what school was like and if she had any pets. We really enjoyed listening to Julia’s Mum. We learnt so much and we had great fun trying out some of the games. Thank you Anna! Please click here to see some more...
