Our Active School’s Committee has created a whole school Active challenge. The challenge is called “The Christmas Jumping Jacks Challenge”. Each class has a target number of “Jumping Jacks” to achieve over a 4 week period- ending on the 19th of December. Best of luck to all the classes!
We had great fun in November playing maths games. We matched up the socks and gloves; we matched the mammy animals to their babies; we matched pictures that are the same colour; we made colour patterns using the links and beads; we played the ladybird counting game; we made pictures using shapes; we played the Knickerbocker Glory counting game; and we played the Incy Wincy Spider counting game.
We had such good fun dressing up for Halloween. There were many spooky creatures roaming the halls of St. Finian’s – and even Ms. Lambe dressed up as a skeleton! Well done and thank you to all the children and parents who put so much thought and effort into the costumes.
On Friday 10th of October, we held a Cheerios Childline Breakfast Together morning. We had great fun eating our breakfast together to raise money for Childline. We all brought in €2 and we ate some Cheerios together in the assembly hall.
We love learning through play in Junior and Senior Infants. In October, we had great fun doing some activities based on the book “The Gruffalo”. We acted out the story wearing character masks; we made characters from the story with play dough; we played a Gruffalo memory game and Gruffalo snap; we put the pictures from the story into the correct order; we made a miniature forest with real leaves and twigs and did a puppet show in the forest; and we did the Gruffalo jigsaw.
Junior and Senior Infants were learning about road safety. Here we are modelling our RSA high visibility jackets!
