Junior Infants….our story so far…

Literacy

We have learnt so many new ‘sight’ words over the past few weeks. We love making our words out of Play doh and using our word cards to make small sentences. We are starting to blend our sounds to make cvc words.


We are also working on our fine motor skills using stickers and tweezers and practising our patterns on out white boards and sand trays.

We are building TALL snd Short towers using cubes in maths . We also have been grouping objects in to sets according to colours, sizes, shapes and associations and also identifying objects which do not belong to a set.
