What a busy term we have had here in the Senior Infant and First Class classroom!
Our best day ever was our school tour day! We went to Arena 5, to Jump Lanes and the soft play area. It was brilliant fun! Lots of our class had never been on a school tour, because of Covid, so it was exciting getting on a big bus and travelling with all our friends. When we were finished playing, we ate delicious food in the party room. The weather was awful – it had been raining all morning – but we headed for Mungret playground with hope in our hearts! We were so delighted that it stopped raining and we were able to go into the playground and have fun! We ate our picnic treats and headed back to the school. What a wonderful day!
We have also enjoyed a most wonderful School Sports’ Day. Th class children did such a great job organising all the different stations for us! Some of our favourites were the sack race and the egg and spoon race.
We were delighted to have Declan Hannon to raise our 10th Green Flag! We celebrated with lots of singing and treats! Declan spent lots of time signing hurleys and sliotars for everyone in the school! We will always remember that day!
We did a lot of work this term too! In maths, in first class, we learnt to carry our ‘tens’ to their new house. It is a bit different from how our parents learnt it!. Seniors learnt all about capacity. We compared all our drinks containers and put them in order. It was a bit tricky, because some bottles were tall and some were wide.
We visited ‘An Trá’ in our Irish lessons and enjoyed playing le buicéad agus spád!
We learned about Irish wildflowers and conducted many hunts in search of different varieties.
We read many, many stories – some of our favourites were ‘The Beast with a Thousand Teeth’, ‘Rainbow Fish’, ‘Peas, Cheese and Chocolate Pudding’.
We designed and created our own rainbow fish and used tinfoil for the very special scales. We also created an outfit for George the giant from ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’. We used lots of different fabric and fibre to create different textures from his old gown and sandals to his ‘smart’ clothes and shoes.
On our last day we made a guard of honour for Mrs. Wixted as she drove to school. A drone captured the crowd, and our handmade signs, from the sky. It was a wonderful send-off. We will miss Mrs. Wixted next year but look forward to hearing about all her adventures!
We are ready for our summer holidays!
