Building the Empire State Building

The boys in our class have been really busy building the Empire State Building. They've followed very intricate instructions to carefully construct the tall tower. After a lot of hard work, concentration and collaboration, the boys finally completed the building. Thank you also, to Barry, for lending us a screwdriver and battery to really illuminate our construction!

Baking

We have been busy baking lots of delicious treats in our class. We read the recipe and gather all of the ingredients that we need for our recipe. Then we work together to follow the different steps in the method to prepare the batter. When we have prepared the ingredients, we finally put our batter into the oven and wait patiently for our delicious snack. Look at our yummy cookies that we recently made and decorated!

Baking with Múinteoir Lisa

The children worked on their procedural writing this week with Múinteoir Lisa. They worked hard at making Rice Krispie buns and then they wrote up the recipe, for others to use! Thanks Múinteoir Lisa for helping us make yummy buns!

Hurling

We love doing Hurling with Kevin on Monday's! This week we even got to play hurling outside in the beautiful summer weather!

Active learning

In Junior Infants we are very busy doing lots of active learning! We have been developing our fine motor skills by doing some manipulative activities like cutting, drawing, building using blocks, measuring in the sand area, using play dough, etc. 

We are also developing our imaginations and our skills of co-operation and conversation by engaging in collaborative activities, such as jigsaws, role-play and playing in small world areas.
