This week, we were very busy learning all about the red and grey squirrels. We learned lots of new facts about them. 
We've learned a poem and made an autumn squirrel this week. 

We had great fun participating in our Maths trail recently.

Firstly, we read the instructions in the classroom to make sure we understood each of the questions.
 
Then, in pairs we went outside with our Maths Trail questionnaire.
 
We estimated, counted, measured and rechecked each of the answers.
 
Afterwards we went inside and discussed each of our answers. 

A huge well done to all the boys and girls for settling in so well. You really are great with all the changes that have been made to our classroom, school and yard. 
It's been a fun week, we've played with activities, caught up on each others news, listened to new stories, played new games as well as practising some things we learned for Junior Infants like counting and saying our sounds. 

Well done to all the boys and girls on a fantastic first day back! You all did AMAZING! We’re going to have a fantastic year in our new classroom! 
our first day back flew by - we were busy playing, listening to each other’s news, sorting our new Senior Infants school books and even had time to play! 
A big thank you to all the parents and guardians for preparing the children so well for the changes that are around school. 

Well done to all the boys and girls along with their families for participating in Sports Week. I hope you all enjoyed the extra activities. 
E. had a great time doing the potato and spoon race with her family.

E. was also very creative during the week. Have a look at what she made. 

Hello boys and girls, 
I hope you are all able to enjoy the fantastic sunshine. I hope you are all minding yourself in the sun - put on your suncream, wear a sun hat, drink plenty of water and take little breaks from the sunshine also. 

A. is really busy at home! He made a fantastic shape table -  what a great idea. A and his brother also made a yummy chocolate cake!! He is writing in his copy lots and playing lots of number games

S and her sister are having a wonderful time at home. S is busy teaching her sister the calendar, shapes, colours, etc. You'll make a fantastic teacher S. 

It really is fantastic to see all your wonderful photographs from home and it is lovely to see what our friends are up to. 

L.M. came up with a great idea for labelling parts of her home with the Irish words. She baked a delicious cake also. L.M. you'll have to bake us one for when we're back in school!!! L.M. has also gone for cycles which is very important for our bodies to get exercise and fresh air for our minds. 

A. has had a really busy time. He is busy baking, practising his writing and making jigsaws with lots of pieces. There is a new member to A.'s family - they have a new puppy. We can't wait to hear all about the adventures of A and his new puppy.
