It was a busy week for our new Junior Infants. We are very lucky to have such great Senior Infants in our room too this year. Have a look at some of the activities we got up to during our first week. 

This week we learnt about the mighty Oak tree. We went on a hunt to see who could find the oak tree in our school yard. We looked out for the wobbly leaves and acorns. Here is a look at our acorn art on display outside our classroom. 

Every week we play our tin whistle in the classroom. It takes a lot of practice to get good at it. Some of us are doing really well and can play lots of tunes now. Here are the Senior Infants playing 'Hot Cross Buns'. 

We learnt about the 5 senses this week. We worked in groups to do posters showing each of the senses. We learnt a song too...have a listen by clicking on the video. 

Today we did a science experiment using Skittles and water. When we added the water to the Skittles on the plate the colours went into the water and made a lovely pattern...we got to eat them after too :) 

Today the Senior Infants took some Junior Infants and read them some stories.... they did a great job! 

Senior Infants went to the shop to buy the ingredients that we needed for baking cupcakes. Anita gave us all special jobs to do. We all got to decorate our own cupcake with chocolate spread and sprinkles ... yummy! 

Today we used the three primary colours to make green, orange and purple. Have a look at this song if you dont know how we made them! 

Our local parade was cancelled this year but that didn't stop us celebrating St. Patricks Day in our classroom. We had great fun at our very own parade...have a look!
