Busy at work in Senior Infants! The children enjoyed making paper airplanes and seeing whose plane traveled the furthest. They explored different types of magnets and found interesting places in the classroom where the magnets would stick. They also played lots of games using all sorts of magnets of different shapes and strengths. The 'strong magnets' were a firm favourite. Working in groups to develop literacy skills has been great fun! Finding substances that dissolved in water was very interesting and the children thoroughly enjoyed designing and making creations from colourful 2d shapes. In music, we used dried ingredients to explore loud and soft sounds by making shakers.

We have been very busy in the Senior Infants classroom from the start of term 1. We have developed lots of new skills by working in small groups. It has been lots of fun completing tasks with different friends! The children have enjoyed playing games to develop literacy and numeracy concepts and have shown how great they work as part of a team. Getting ready for Halloween was busy in the classroom as we did lots of art work and played some funny Halloween games with flour, wiggly worms and green slime! The children were delighted with the opportunity to visit Monivea Woods and explore the hedgerows in the search for Autumn leaves. We spotted signs along the way that showed us various locations close to Monivea and stopped for a play in the village playground.
