The boys and girls in 4th class have been working extremely hard writing narrative stories. As a special treat, we read our stories to Ms. McKelvey’s Senior Infants. The boys and girls really enjoyed sharing their hard work. Some of the boys and girls in Senior Infants even showed some of their reading to their new friends in 4th class!
Well Done everyone!

We had great fun on Thursday of this week when senior infants and 5th class paired up to do various maths games and activities! 5th class loved helping the younger boys and girls and were like teachers teaching them new maths games! Well done to Senior Infants also who were well able for the maths! Well done to all 🙂
Senior Infants were the first class to use our new activity which helps us learn our letters and their sounds. ‘Hot Dots’ game has a talking pen, which we called the wand! The wand told us if we were right or wrong on our answer. It was a fun way to check our reading!
Ms Lynch’s Senior Infants were Scottish for a day! They were learning all about the Loch Ness Monster and they even made their own Scottish kilts. Watch the video below to see the lovely things they made and listen to their special Nessy song!

Our Junior and Senior Infants had egg hunts where parents helped us to find
our eggs! It was really difficult to find the eggs matching our stickers, but we did great searching and had 5 eggs each to enjoy afterwards!
We were practicing ways of travelling across the mat in P.E. We did pencil rolls, jumping and we walked like bears. We had great fun! 🙂
Senior Infants have been very busy preparing for their Christmas concert along with Miss Heverin’s Junior infants.
