Festive Friday

Festive Fridays are back for the Toy Show today!!! 

During STEM Stations the children had to work together to design and build a sturdy Christmas tree out of paper cups. It also had to hold baubles. The children also made some snowmen with Ms. Mollison who is in our classroom for the next couple of weeks! There was a festive game on the laptops too. Later on in the day, we had great fun designing and creating Christmas jumpers for Ryan on the Toy Show tonight! 

Have a great weekend 🎅🎄🤶

 

STEM Stations and 1st Class Nuacht

 Some recent fun in the Junior Classroom :) 

Halloween Fun!

 Happy Halloween!! 

The children all looked amazing today in their costumes. We had so much fun doing spooky STEM stations and Bingo in Irish...As always, we are so grateful that Ms. Kilrane, Mr. Larke and Bernie come in for STEM stations and help us with the best and messiest learning of the week!!

Have a brilliant week off everyone and see you after the midterm :) 

Nature Walk

The Junior Room went on their first nature walk of the year to collect autumn leaves today! The children were so careful when walking outside of the school, what superstars! 

STEM Stations

We made the most of the sunshine last Friday and took our STEM Stations outside! 

The children made 2D shapes from sticks and stones for Maths. 

They drew around their bodies with chalk and labelled/named different body parts for Science. 

The children had previously begun making boats with our Creation Station materials and on Friday they tested their boats to see if they would float and how many stones they could carry! This was a fun way to do engineering, science, maths and develop problem solving skills, creative thinking, motor skills and much more!!!

 We are so lucky to have Mr. Larke, Ms. Kilrane and Bernie for STEM Stations!! 

Fun this Week!

We are so lucky that Mr. Larke and Ms. Kilrane join us for STEM Stations on a Friday! Look at the fun we had today:  

We are learning about the doctor during playtime!

First Week Fun :)

Well done on a great first week back everyone! 

We did a lot of playtime this week! It is the best way for children to learn about and explore their new environment and classmates. 

Working on scissor skills.

We do STEM Stations on a Friday (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). Junior Infants were brilliant on the laptops:

Mr. Larke visited us for STEM Stations! The Senior Infants built a tower the same height as him!

Our new water play area is fantastic!
