Literacy Lift Off Comes To An End

seniorinfants — Fri, 01 May 2015 22:38:38 +0000

For the last 12 weeks, Senior Infants have been working really hard on their reading. Under the guidance of Ms Crowley, Mrs Bergin, Ms Leamy, Ms Maher, Ms D’Arcy, Ms Shouldice and Ms Harding; they have had the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of texts. Not only have they become really good readers but they have also worked extra hard on their writing, comprehension and spelling. We had an award ceremony at assembly this week, where each child received their certificate. Well done to all involved and a special word of thanks to the parents for their support with this project each evening at homework time.

Health & Safety Talk

seniorinfants — Fri, 01 May 2015 22:30:01 +0000

We were lucky enough to be invited to a talk down in First Class by Eoghan Meagher. Eoghan is the Health and Safety Officer in Coolmore Stud and a parent in the school. We learned that farming is now the most dangerous job in Ireland. Eoghan taught us about hazzards and what we can do to avoid them. Keeva volunteered to be our safety model and Ms Higgins got “harnessed up” and “locked on” to the projector. Eoghan showed us a video about being safe in the farm yard, especially when slurry is being agitated. Thanks to Eoghan for visiting and teaching us to be safer.

Senior Infants Annual Easter Hunt

seniorinfants — Fri, 01 May 2015 22:19:02 +0000

It wouldn’t be Easter without our Easter Hunt. We had great fun searching the shrubs, lawns and the various nooks and crannies of the playground. We even found some fur. It must have fallen off the Easter Bunny!

Action Day in Senior Infants

seniorinfants — Fri, 01 May 2015 21:49:59 +0000

As part of our Biodiversity Green Flag, we had an “Action Day” on March 23rd. Senior Infants planted Spring/ Summer bedding plants. We planted primroses and viola behind the infant playground. We each planted one plant. We hope that all the beautiful colours will attract more insects and bees. Our little flower bed also introduces a nice splash of colour to our playground. We’re going to take it in turns to water our flowers (hopefully they will need water) and to dead head them!

On Tuesday afternoon Junior Infants and Seniors Infants had a very special visit from ‘An Garda Síochána’!

Don’t worry we were not in trouble!

Inspector Kelly and Garda Kelly came in to talk to us all about staying safe.

Garda Kelly talked to us about staying safe while in the car. She told us we should always wear our seatbelts and no one should ever use their mobile phone while driving.

Inspector Kelly talked to us about how to stay safe while cycling. He told us we should always wear our helmets and make sure our bicycles are in proper working order.

They showed us their uniforms and all the things they use to protect themselves – we even got to try some things on……so did Mrs O’Meara!

We learned a lot about the work the guards do – it was very interesting. Take a look at our pictures below!

A big thank you to Inspector Kelly and Garda Kelly from all the Junior Infants and Senior Infants for coming in to talk to us!

Planting in Senior Infants!

admin01 — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:42:24 +0000

Senior Infants were very busy learning how to plant cress seeds recently. It was a lot of fun!

We planted our seeds using the following procedure:

Step 1: Put some soil into a pot.

Step 2: Sprinkle some seeds on the soil.

Step 3: Water the seeds.

Step 4: Put on the windowsill so they can get some light.

We did some procedural writing on our planting too.

We will keep you updated on how our seeds are growing!

Look how our cress has grown! What good gardener’s we are!
