Second class enjoyed a few moments of zen last week during a guided meditation session. Mindfulness is one of our core values at JSNS and helps us to live our motto: Laetus Impraesens-delight in the present.
Last week, 4th Class used a technique called pointillism by using cotton buds to create distinct dots of colour. They chose colours that would compliment each other and used water colours to create their background. Beautiful work 4th Class!
Second class celebrated the beginning of 2022 with some explosive artwork inspired by images of New Year’s celebrations!!
We love how they have turned out.
Junior Infants were having lots of fun last week playing maths board games and using their knowledge of numbers to play Animal Hunt! How fun!
The cold weather is coming in fast so third class got to action last week – for the sake of the BIRDS! They created biodegradable stacked fruit, vegetable and seed bird feeders! They were placed all around our Secret Garden where they can be enjoyed by our feathered friends.

Senior Infants spent last week learning all about penguins. They made their own penguins out of shapes they learned about in Maths. Lovely work Senior Infants!
