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.
We had so much fun on our school tour!
We first went to Lough Key Forest Park for a picnic and some games.
This was followed by a trip to Jump Street in Carrick on Shannon. It was the best day ever!!!
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!
The long awaited school tour of Senior & Junior infants took place today, 12th June. The excitement as we boarded the big bus to Castle Farm Adventure in Ballyshannon was high! After a short trip up the road we were greeted by our leaders and given yellow bibs to make sure we weren’t mixed up with other schools.
The children enjoyed lots of activities: playing in the huge playground with swings, slides, climbing frames, go-karts and sand. We then had our snack and a big drink. After this the children got to pet some animals – a ferret called Jerry. a daddy rabbit and Fudge the gerbil. We also saw a baby emu. We then went on a tour around the farm to see more animals: meerkats, parrots, lovebirds, a partridge, a beautiful peacock with its feathers out, more ferrets, ducks and ducklings, a micro pig, a big Calafornian rabbit, a chicken with hair on his legs to make him look like he had trousers on and some very noisy roosters. We had another quick turn in the playground before some well deserved hot food……Yum!
Last but not least, the children had a trip in a barrel train around the farm before hopping abord the bus to return home to Sligo. What a wonderful fun day was had!
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.
