We were very busy last week in Junior Infants. Continuing with our theme of âPlayâ for January we focused on teddy bears. We read the book âWhereâs my Teddyâ by Jez Alborough, designed our own teddy bears and played the game âhow many teddiesâ with our partners in maths. The children also brought their favorite soft toy into school on Friday for show and tell and a teddy bears picnic.
Many thanks to all of the adults who sent in delicious baking for today’s picnic. The children and cuddlies really enjoyed it.
December Active Christmas consisted of fun and creative ways to promote physical activity in the lead up to the Christmas holidays. We had a Santa and elves run, walk, parachute fun day, table tennis day, skipping and hulla hoop fun day.
7th November 2023. Today the older children from the Green Schools Committee planted daffodil bulbs in our Wild Flower corners with the help of Gordon and Claire Young of Murroe Tidy Towns. Gordon kindly dug a trench for us to plant the bulbs. The bulbs were donated to us by Murroe Tidy Towns. We are looking forward to seeing the bulbs grow in the spring!
We also had a look at the bird houses that Gordon had put up earlier, and we looked at the flowers on the ivy. These flowers will become black berries which are an important food source for birds in late winter and early spring.
