We are spooktastic!!!

We are having a spooktacular time learning all about Halloween. We became witch's in our classroom and made special potions for the ghosts and goblins. The green slime bubbled in the cauldron and we stirred in the ingredients with a magic stick. The ingredients were disgusting-they consisted of frogs legs, snake poison  and spider slime. It was really smelly-we bet the ghosts and goblins enjoyed it.

Here is the evidence of the creepy creatures we needed for our recipe.......

Our school transformed into a monster village.....we tiptoed through it-we were terrified that the monsters would wake up. We were super brave that day......we can take on anything now!!!

Getting to know our school

We have been learning all about Scoil Mhuire this month. Teacher brought us on a tour of the school-we visited Mary in the office, we held on to the bannisters as we walked up to the top corridor where all the big girls work really hard. We said hello to the girls in 6th class and Ms. McCarthy, their teacher. We sang nursery rhymes and they sang for us too. We measured ourselves against the big girls-they are so tall. We can't wait to grow and be like them one day! Ms. Burke-Heneghan was very busy at a meeting-we hope to visit her in her office again soon.

Have a look at our adventure.......

We are now at home in 'Room 1'-we know the room inside out at this stage-everything has a place in the room and we have become experts at tidying up. We love when we see our name in the 'happy face' and it makes us happy when our group get stars for good behaviour.

We are little artists in the making.....look at our pictures of our classroom!

John Kelly came to visit.....

We have been busy learning all about school this month.....a very important man came to visit us in Room 1, that is our caretaker John Kelly. He spoke to us about the jobs he does around the school  and the tools he needs to carry out such jobs.

Have fun looking at our pictures with John...

We also drew pictures John and tools he uses to fix things, such as-the hammer, pliers, spanner, stanley blade, measuring tape. John always carries a set of keys with him for every room in the school (in case we ever got locked out)...

Awesome Autumn

Awesome Autumn

 In October, we learned all about Autumn and the changes that occur. The leaves change colour and fall from the trees to the ground. We went on an Autumn walk and had fun finding conkers, acorns, berries and lots more. Our favourite part was listening to the noise of  the leaves on the ground as we kicked our feet in them. 

Have a look at some pictures we took on our walk.....

Have a look at some of the lovely pictures we drew in our copies....... 

Autumn winds begin to blow,

Coloured leaves fall fast and slow,

Twirling, whirling, all around,

Till at last, they touch the ground.

 

 

Fun with Phonics!!!

We are busy learning new letter names and sounds each week. We use the 'Jolly Phonics' programme which makes our learning fun. We are really good at singing the Jolly songs.

 

 

We even had a go at blending sounds to make words.....

Our sponsored walk to Corkagh Park

 Corkagh Park

On Friday 30th September, we walked from school all the way to Corkagh Park. We had help from the big girls in 5th class-they really looked after us and helped us to cross the roads. Have a look at the fun we had when we arrived at the park-our favourite part was the playground. 

 

Our adventure starts here

Welcome to our class blog. Here you will have access to everything that goes on behind the classroom door. We hope you enjoy watching us grow as we learn new and exciting things everyday.

Making friends 

 

Our first month in Junior Infants was so much fun. We enjoyed making new friends as we played with each other during Aistear. Have a look at how busy we were.
