Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This week we made some scary monsters for Halloween. We used straws to blow watered down paint all over our pages. When they were dry we stuck on eyes and drew arms and legs and whatever else we wanted! 

We have been learning a dán for Halloween too: 

And here is everyone dressed up! Well done on the fantastic costumes :) 

Have a great week off everyone!

Our Spooky Work!

Things are getting scary in the Junior and Senior Infant classroom! 

We have made some spooky, foggy, haunted houses:

Then we made hand print spiders. We gave them 8 eyes, and made webs for them by lacing white wool over the paper plates.

We have a new visitor too! Try and think of a name for our ghost!  

Library Trip

Trim Library very kindly invited us down today to take part in Yo-Yo Yoga Storytelling! The children were read three books. Each book had lots of different yoga poses to go with it, and the children in Junior and Senior Infants were very good at these! Then the children got under blankets for the final story and practised their breathing. It was a great way to mix exercise with reading, and made the stories so exciting for the children!

Autumn Leaves

We have been doing lots of work all about Autumn! Last week we talked about the leaves on trees and what happens them in Autumn. We looked at the colours leaves changed to, and we made trees using a cut out of our arms for the trunk and branches, and then we sponged Autumn colours all over our page. When the cut out was lifted, we had our colourful trees!







This week we went on a nature walk to the new playground in Trim to look at the leaves there (and to have some fun!). Everyone collected a leaf, and we looked closely at them to decide what made each leaf unique. We found out that the leaves didn't just have one colour on them, they were lots of different colours!

In the classroom we made our own crispy, crumpled Autumn leaves by painting a page lots of Autumn colours and crumpling it up into a ball! When Ms. Keane or Bernie unfolded the page, the colours were all mixed together. Then they were cut out and stuck up on our classroom tree. Lots of leaves have fallen down! 

We also made hand print leaves in the Autumn colours! 

Here we are in the park before we collected our leaves!
