We love when Mrs O Mahony asks us to practise our CVC words on the Smartboard. Our handwriting is getting so good! We can writing words all by ourselves!

January in Juniors
What a busy month he had! We had gymnastics with Kenny, and GAA with Dave. We loved working on The Clothes Shop in Aistear. We dressed up, bathed our babies, built shopping malls with Lego and Duplo. We made lovely winter birds in Art, dressed our Teddy Bears and blow painted rain drops.
Yoga with Trish
We really enjoyed our first yoga session with Trish. We were cows and cats!
Irish Dancing with Deirdre
We absolutely loved our first Irish dancing session with our new teacher Deirdre. We were learning our 1,2,3s.
Thank you Santa for visiting 🎅
Fine motor skills
We wrote our ‘e’ sound in sand and then used our tweezers to pinch jewels to write our ‘e’ sound. We loved our fine motor sand activity.
‘This’ was our very busy Tuesday!
We are working on a new sight word ‘this’. We read a story with ‘this’, wrote sentences on our whiteboards and created our words using playDoh.
We learnt lots of new balances with our new coach, Ken during our first session of gymnastics.
We are working on the theme of The Restaurant in Aistear. We are loving making ‘fork paintings’, building restaurants, role playing The Restaurant in our role play area, ordering burgers from ‘Billy’s, Poachers Inn and O Reillys in our Small World and making food with our play Doh.
Happy Halloween from our spooky Junior Infants

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.
