Bhí an-spraoi againn ar scoil inniu ag ceiliúradh Lá Glas. We had great fun today celebrating Lá Glas. We all dressed up in green. We had a ceilí in the hall with other class groups. Some of our teachers played traditional Irish music instruments for us during the ceilí. It was a great way to finish off Seachtain na Gaeilge in our school. We hope you all have a lovely St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday. Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir.
Room 7 had a great day on Friday on our School Tour to Five Star Fun. We enjoyed the bus journey, all the fun activities, the lovely meal and the yummy ice cream! Have a look below at our photos.
There were a lot of activities to do during Active School’s week. We had Gymnastics, Gaelic Football, Sport’s Day and Family Fun Day. Have a look below at some photos and video clips of the week.
The Junior and Senior Infant children in Room 7 have settled well into their new classroom this month. We have enjoyed working together to make jigsaw puzzles, different objects using magnetic shapes and construction toys. We have enjoyed playing in our Kitchen Role Play area and making our self portraits, eye collage, hand prints and skeleton pictures. Here are a few photos of some of the activities in Room 7 so far. We hope you like them!
We had our School Tour in Junior Infants on Monday 12th June. We went to Castle Adventure Open Farm in Ballyshannon along with Senior Infants and two boys from the Ark. We enjoyed the bus journey to Ballyshannon, we had great fun in the magnificent playground which had go-carts and a tunnel slide. We had a train ride in barrels and we got to see loads of wonderful animals. We even got to pet some of the animals. Have a look at our slide show below.
On Friday 16th June we had our Family Fun Day, which started off with a Sponsored Walk. A big thank you to all the parent’s who joined us for this walk. When we arrived back from our walk the Ice Cream van had arrived and we had some yummy ice-cream from Mammy Johnston’s. Thank you to Mammy Johnston’s for the delicious ice-cream. Then we had some fun activities such as musical spots. Have a look at the slide show below.
As part of our Active School’s Week, we had Beat the Teacher Challenge! This was very competitive and exciting for us all to watch. Well done to all the teachers, SNA’s and the 5th and 6th class pupils who took part in the different activities. There was Tug-a-War, Sack Race, 3 Legged Race and the Hula Hoop Challenge. It was great fun! Well done to everyone who took part!
Active school’s week is in full swing in our Junior Infant classroom this week. We enjoyed using the different gym equipment in the hall. We played one of our favourite playground games outside on the pitch – Duck Duck Goose . We had great fun learning how to play tennis outside with a tennis coach and we have been completing our 25 lap challenge each day this week. We run or jog half a lap or a full lap to reach our 25 laps each day. We have 3 golden tickets now for completing the 25 lap challenge and we hope on Friday to get our final golden ticket! Have a look below at our slideshow.
This week Junior Infants had great fun making puzzles. They worked together to make different size piece puzzles. Some were 18 pieces, some 20 pieces, some 30, some were 42 pieces, 48 pieces and even 60 piece puzzles. Some were long puzzles and others were shorter. Have a look below at a few of our photos.
In Junior Infants, we have enjoyed watching our caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies. When they arrived first they were tiny caterpillars, as they ate the food in their tub, they grew into big caterpillars. Then we watched as they changed into the chrysalis stage and then finally they turned into beautiful butterflies. We gave them some oranges before releasing them outside.
We also watched our beans and cress seeds growing in the classroom. We learned about the needs of a plant, how they need sunlight, water, air, nutrients and space to grow. We watched to see if they would grow as tall as the beanstalk in the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Have a look at our slideshow of photos and videos below.
Just before Easter, Junior Infants had a lovely trip to Homeland. We were learning about pets and animals last month and this month we have been learning about The Garden Centre so we decided to take a visit to the Garden Centre and Pet Shop in Homeland. We had a lovely walk down, the sun was shining and we saw some lovely spring flowers. We also looked at the buildings and houses on our way down. We saw semi detached and terraced houses. We passed St Joseph’s church and said a prayer outside it. We remembered our safe cross code when crossing the road. We used the zebra crossing and waited for the green man to appear when using the pelican crossing. We saw many different types of vehicles on the road. We waved to the lorries and they blew their horns at us! There were some big tractors on the road also. We saw Knocknarea and Benbulben mountains and saw many boats at the Harbour.
When we reached Homeland, we went to the Pet Shop first, we saw a dog getting groomed. There were lots of fish and birds to see. We saw bunny rabbits and hamsters. There were loads of toys and beds for cats and dogs and we saw some big dog kennels.
Then we went to The Garden Centre, where we saw loads of colourful flowers, pots and soil for planting. There were different types of stones and ornaments for gardens. Then we had a lovely picnic outside Homeland before we walked to the playground. We had a lovely fun filled day. Have a look at our slideshow to see some photos and videos.
