We loved World Book Day and getting to bring home our new books, we were even lucky enough for our Buddy Class Teacher to come and read some stories to us. We learnt 'Shoe the Donkey', had traditional Irish Music played for us and got to sing and dance as Gaeilge. We have been learning all about the Theatre in our Literacy this month and we've been having so much fun exploring our class puppet theatre too.

We also celebrated Valentine's Day with lots of art, Friendship Week with our Buddies in Ms. Dutton's Class and Pancake Tuesday too. We had a great month and have started some reading and writing because we have been flying with all our letter sounds!

They came back to school full of excitement to see their friends and share all their news from the Winter Break. We are really happy to be back doing GAA with Coach Aisling again and have been practicing lots of skills. We also got to visit the forest that Amazon are helping us to build on our school grounds, we can't wait to watch the forest grow during our time in St. Paul's JNS. We have been doing lots of fun art and learning about African Animals and hearing lots of new things from our Over the Moon program about Ella's trip to visit her Granny in Africa. We particularly enjoyed reading about her Safari Trip.

We got to do yoga or meditation each day, along with getting to try Basketball with Casey who is a parent from Room 10 and Stacey.

We have been getting used to all the new routines that come with being in Junior Infants, including P.E Hall visits, library time, art and crafts and our songs. This month we have been working on Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, the number 1, sorting and patterns in Maths, Autumn time and the Days of the Week. We have really enjoyed making new friends and getting to use all our new colours. Below are pictures of some of the things we have really enjoyed.
