Last week Junior Infants had great fun exploring visiting the vet-an tréidlia, in their Aistear curriculum. Aistear is the early childhood curriculum framework for all children from birth to 6 years, using four interconnected themes to describe children’s learning and development: Wellbeing, Identity and Belonging, Communicating, and Exploring and Thinking.
Third Class Red revised mixed operations with Kahoot last week. They presented fabulous projects and brushed up on their punctuation! Lovely work 3rd Class!
This week Senior Infants Yellow conducted a scientific investigation to discover what everyday items float and sink. They investigated tennis balls, money, an apple and even their teacher’s keys! They thoroughly enjoyed predicting and testing their ideas.

3rd Class have been learning about Earth’s processes this week and to show off how much they learnt in the unit they made their own earth booklet. They collaged the cover with tissue paper and wrote some amazing facts they learnt. Lovely work 3rd Class!
3rd Class celebrated World Maths Day last week by challenging children around the world on their Mathletics account. Some children even made the Hall of Fame. Well done to our Mathletics King and Queen for earning the highest points this week!
Last week Senior Infants Yellow had a very exciting science lesson in the secret garden. They were on the hunt for minibeasts! They learnt about their importance to the environment and the places they like to hide. They saw woodlouse, flies, bees, ants and snails.
3rd class have been busy this week learning about endangered animals and also debating if zoos are the best place for animals. They also wrote letters to the Taoiseach to persuade him to either close zoos or keep them open, and created wonderful animal portraits using cardboard, egg cartons and paint.
