Senior Infants 14-15

School Tour and Ice Cream!

On the 9th of June Senior Infants went on their School Tour to Rumley's Farm. They had a fun filled, action packed day and luckily the sun was shining! As well as visiting the many animals and birds the children enjoyed Go-Karting, Zip Lining, Mini Golf, a picnic and finished the day with an enjoyable tractor ride. They returned to school on the bus tired but happy.

Flat Stanley and Frozen Art Work!

In May Senior Infants had great fun writing their 'Flat Stanley' letters and posting them under the door to the other Senior Infant classes. There was lots of fun and confusion trying to work out who wrote each letter from the clues given!

Senior Infants created some lovely 'Frozen' inspired Art Work to decorate the entrance of the Hall for Frozen the musical.

Calves in the School!!!

Farmers Colm and Philip brought 2 lovely calves into school today.

April Activities

Senior Infants had great fun this month making Ladybirds from clay and painting them. They also tested their green fingers by planting cress seeds. They concluded the month with 'An Seó Faisin' where they described what they were wearing as Gaeilge while parading down the catwalk!

Spring Fun

Senior Infants had a very busy March. They went on a Spring Discovery Walk and made a lovely Spring Collage in Art. They also paid a trip to the School Garden where they planted some potatoes and observed some daffodils growing in the classroom.

Blarney United Football Club

Over the past nine weeks Blarney United Football Club have sent two coaches to Senior Infants to coach the children in the core skills of football. The children really enjoyed the experience and many were eager to join the Blarney United Football Academy to keep up their development and their skills.

Time capsule

On the 21/01/15 Senior Infants created a time capsule. Each child filled out a Fact File of personal information and children included some personal items and pictures. The time capsule was then sealed and the children look forward to returning on the 21/01/16 when they are in 1st class to open it. We look forward to seeing what has changed and what has stayed the same.

January Art

Artists in Senior Infants have been busy making some beautiful artwork through out January.

Musical Shakers

Senior Infants had great fun making shakers and exploring sounds. They decorated them to add their own personal touch.

Mid-term Madness

Senior Infants had a busy October. They tended to their sick and injured teddies in an animal hospital setting. They undertook an autumn discovery trail around the school looking for signs of autumn and visiting and discussing various landmarks. This culminated in an exciting week preparing for Halloween. Spooky potions were concocted, frightening feasts enjoyed and the infants gathered for a witching experience in the hall. Great fun singing and dancing was had by all.

Maths Blast

Senior Infants continued to enjoy Maths Blast in November. During Maths Blast, the children are divided into small groups and play maths games and engage in maths activities. They improve their maths skills while having great fun.

A Trip to the Local Post Office

Senior Infants learned about the post-office and the journey of a letter. They wrote invitations to their parents to the Christmas play which they then posted. They enjoyed the experience of walking to the post office and dropping their own letters into the postbox.
