1st and 2nd class were very busy designing and drawing aerial maps of our school grounds. The 5th and 6th pupils explained what a key was and showed them how to colour code areas of their maps. What great team work by all involved!
The children had great fun today trying out table tennis. Some of the children from fifth and sixth came to the Infant Room to demonstrate how to play and we really enjoyed it. We are looking forward to working on our table tennis skills.
This week we all came together for our first assembly to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. Each class performed a song or a poem they had learned in Irish. Some of the fifth and sixth class read out letters that they had also written in Irish to their penpals. We look forward to more assemblies throughout the year. Today we used our new tablets & headphones for the first time. Junior Infants listened to their new Jolly Phonics sounds and songs while Senior Infants did some reading. We are really looking forward to using our tablets across all curriculum areas this year.
On Thankful Tuesday we read the story "Have you Filled a Bucket Today?" and then filled each others buckets. We coloured in a worksheet showing all the "I can.." things we can do. We all Walked A Mile with a Smile together this morning! We also took part in geography team games!
