Seachtaine na Gaeilge

During Seachtaine na Gaeilge, we performed in a 'ceolchoirm' in the school hall. We sang a song called 'Chuaigh Mé go dtí an Bhfeirm' and we had special actions for each verse. We also did a rhyme called 'Dhá Éinín Deasa'. The concert was lots of fun and we listened to all the other classes perform to songs and rhymes. We all sang together at the end to the pop song 'Saoraí Spraoí'.

Have a look at us in action.....

Travel and transport

In February, we learned all about vehicles and different modes of transport. We learned about transport long ago and we sorted vehicles into old and new. We set up an 'Airport' in our role-play area. We had a special visitor this month-Melissa's mammy works in the airport and she spoke to the three Junior Infant classes about everything that happens in the airport.




During Aistear, we engaged in 'free painting' of vehicles, we constructed vehicles in Junk Art and got into character in the airport.


Here is a rocket and some free painting in action.....


We drew pictures of a car, bus, train and aeroplane in our copies this month. We even wrote the words beside each picture.

The Train



The Aeroplane




We drew pictures of our journey to school and we included all the buildings, parks and vehicles we see a long the way. We are very observant at taking in the world around us.

World Book Day

We celebrated 'World Book Day' on Thursday 2nd March. We celebrated this day by having a 'pyjama day' in Scoil Mhuire-even teacher wore a onesie. We brought in our favourite book, a blankie and a torch. We shared our books with our friends and the big girls from 5th class came down and read with us. Teacher brought us to a room upstairs filled with cushions-we brought our torch and blankie with us so we could read in the dark-this was our favourite part of the day. We went home with a book voucher to use in selected book stores-don't forget to use them!!

How cool do we look in our pyjamas....have a look!
