Autumn and Halloween Fun in Ms Leahy’s Junior Infants

 

The boys and girls in Ms Leahy’s class have been learning about the season of Autumn. We have learned that the leaves begin to fall off the trees and the colours of the leaves are red, yellow, orange and brown. We have been singing a song called “Autumn Leaves are Falling Down” to help us to remember these facts about Autumn. We created our own Autumn trees using red and orange paint and dabbing them on our page using cotton wool. They look amazing.

We have also been discussing Halloween, what we are dressing up as, and we read a funny story called “Winnie the Witch” who used her magic to help to see her cat Wilbur. We have been getting in the Halloween spirit by decorating Winnie the Witch’s hat, and we created our own pumpkins using orange paint, paper plates, googly eyes and paper for the mouth and teeth. We have been very busy over the last few weeks!

Aistear - Houses and Homes

 This week our theme for Aistear is houses and homes. We have been using the tent in our class to have a role play in a house, we have been playing with toy houses and figures for our small world station, we have been constructing different types of houses and homes with lego, we have been designing houses with playdough and we have been cutting and sticking houses using scissors and glue.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

We have read the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and we loved it. It was an exciting story to read and we could not believe how cheeky Goldilocks was eating the three bears porridge, sitting on their chairs and sleeping in their beds. We created our own bears using paper plates, crepe paper and glue. It was great fun.

Fun First Weeks in Room 3

The boys and girls have been learning lots and enjoying getting to know our friends. We have been using playdough, playing with toys, counting, doing artwork and saying lots of nursery rhymes. It has been a great few weeks.
