We’ve been learning all about the garden centre over the last month in Senior Infants. We’ve planted seeds and gone on flower, minibeast and bee hunts. In Aistear, the children have built garden centres from blocks, had sensory play with soil and sand, made plants and flowers from playdoh and did lots of artwork including buncase flowers, potato prints, ladybirds and toilet roll bumble bees. We said goodbye to our student teacher, Miss Moynihan after 5 weeks of lovely lessons and great fun!     

We had great fun over the last week in Room 6. We did various Christmas activities every day including Pin the Beard on Santa, Pin the Nose on Rudolf, a table quiz, making virtual hugs, making our own Rudolf, Christmas musical statues and even a visit from Santa himself on Monday!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Christmas and we will see you in  the New Year.

We did two science experiments this week as part of science week. First one was a skittles experiment, where we dissolved the colouring off the skittles to make a rainbow on the plate. Then we did a floating and sinking experiment where we investigated which classroom items would float and which would sink. The children learned a lot this week and had lots of fun!
