October in Senior Infants
Senior Infants have had a very busy October so far. They got to vote for their student council representative in the first week and have been active outside doing The Skip Around the World challenge. All have really enjoyed learning about Autumn this month. They had fun outside on a scavenger hunt looking for signs of Autumn. They made lots of lovely art, creating their Autumn trees by drawing their hands for the tree trunk and painted the leaves using broccoli stalks as a paint brush. They also helped make an Autumn tree for our notice board using their handprints, which they coloured and cut out for the leaves of the tree. Senior Infants made Autumn wreaths too to bring home as reminder of this month's theme. There has been lots of learning new rhymes and songs such as Duilleoga Deasa Deasa in Irish to name but a few. In English and History, they have been looking at the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears as well as The Little Red Hen, which they had lots of fun acting out in drama. Many brought lots of things in to remind us of Autumn such as conkers, acorns and leaves for our theme table that we got to look at and chat about each day.
