Junior, Senior, First and Second went on their school tour to Causey farm. We had great fun going on a tractor, going through the mirror maze, playing giant dominoes, and meeting Gloria the pig and Baa!!rbara the goat!!

June Aistear

For the month of June in Aistear we have been doing "The ice-cream parlour" We had lots of fun making different flavours of ice-cream. We also got to experiment with kinetic sand and make different types of ice-cream. We also had a go at making different shapes using the hama beads.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!!!!!!!!

Junior and Senior Infants have had lots of activity in the classroom over the past few weeks. We had an incubator with 17 eggs. We had to make sure it was filled with water and we had to check each day off on our "chick watch" calendar. On Wednesday we had our first egg hatch and then there was no stopping them. We have 12 chicks altogether!!!! All the boys and girls thought of names and we drew them out of a hat - there were some very interesting ones - Pee-Wee, Charles Chickens and Eggspresso to name but a few. Take a look and see!

Fun with Capacity in Maths!

May Aistear - Theme - Mini-Beasts 

This month our theme for Aistear was "Mini-Beasts" Some of our stations included investigating in a science lab, designing and making their own insects, using wooden blocks to build a bug hotel, making bug jigsaws on the I-pads, searching for insects in the sand and playing little bug bingo! 

Our theme for Geography this month was "People who help us" and one of our parents was kind enough to visit our class and tell us what life is like as a guard

Recording Wizards!!

Junior and Senior infants tried out a new app on our i-pads called Chatterpix. Using the app, the pupils can take a photo of a piece of work they have completed and record their voices explaining what they have done. They can also decorate their work using various different pictures. It's a great way of showing off their work to their peers and also a great tool for self and peer assessment. We cant wait to show you our finished pieces at our Come and See day on Thursday 2nd May!!!
