We were very busy last week in Junior Infants. Continuing with our theme of ‘Play’ for January we focused on teddy bears. We read the book ‘Where’s my Teddy’ by Jez Alborough, designed our own teddy bears and played the game ‘how many teddies’ with our partners in maths. The children also brought their favorite soft toy into school on Friday for show and tell and a teddy bears picnic.

There was princesses, witches, Spidermen, two Hulks , one Wednesday Adams and one Woody in Junior infants for Halloween dress up day!

The children were very busy this week learning all about Halloween. We tasted báirín breac, made chocolate apples and decorated scary Halloween masks! We also loved reading the book “Room on the Broom” along with measuring paper skeletons and learning a new poem “Púca Púca” as gaeilge.

Well done to all in Junior Infants who have been collecting lots of pine cones, conkers, twigs and a variety of different leaves for our Autumn nature table.
