Bhí spórt agus spraoi againn ag ceiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge i mbliana. Glach na Naíonáin páirt i dtóraíocht taisce le rang 5/6 trí mheán na Gaeilge. Bhí lá glas ar fud na scoile le péinteáil aghaidhe agus ceol. Bhí rang 5/6 ag blasadh agus ag tarraingt plandaí seamróige. Maith sibh go léir!
Throughout the year, Junior and Senior infants have taken part in Buddy Reading with pupils from 5th and 6th class. At the beginning of the year, the older pupils read aloud to the infants, helping to build confidence and enjoyment in reading. As the months went on, the younger children made great progress-and by the end of the year, some were able to read books to their buddies in 5th/6th!
Junior and Senior Infants have been learning about The Garden Centre this month for Spring. They played in the role play area practicing watering the flowers, filling pots with soil, planting flowers and selling garden equipment. They especially enjoyed the messy play with soil and water. We learned about the lifecycle of a plant and all the things a plant needs to grow. We enjoyed designing our own leprechauns and rainbows for St. Patrick's Day.
The boys and girls have been very busy learning about procedural writing. We had great fun making our own Rice Krispie buns and jam sandwiches. We wrote some instructions on how we made them. They were delicious!
Before our midterm break the children from Ms. Lambe’s and Ms. Corrigan’s classes went for a nature walk around the grounds of Barmeath Castle. Mrs. Bellew came with us and challenged us to a ‘Tree Hunt’. We gathered lots of leaves which we brought back to school for our leaf themed art. It was a great day.
On Thursday the boys and girls from 5th and 6th took the infant room students out into the garden for some reading in the good weather. A most enjoyable time was had by all, a good idea for those summer months at home in the garden!
