Senior Infants
Ms. Moran's Senior Infants Class : October
The Senior Infants really enjoyed their Sponsored Nature Walk in St Anne’s Park! The boys spotted lots of different signs that of the Autumn season ☺️☺️
Learning through our senses is always a memorable experience for Senior Infants! The boys always enjoy learning about our different play themes through the use of our sensory trays and water play 😀
Ms. Kavanagh's Senior Infants: November
Table Top Activities: The boys are working on a variety of skills each day during hands-on table top activities, including learning activities on Khan Academy Kids, number formation, combining numbers, searching for tricky words in our library books and blending and decoding words.
Handwriting: The boys have been practising handwriting and working very hard on their letter formation. They even became conductors to strengthen their hands and fingers.
Aistear: This month in Aistear we have been exploring the theme of the vet through play. The boys have been role playing as vets and doing a great job helping all our animals. We have lots of animal puzzles in our classroom and the boys have enjoyed working together to make them. We also learned about Kandinsky and his concentric circles. The boys explored colour mixing while recreating the concentric circles in their own styles.
Ms. Moran's Senior Infants: March
March has been full of lots of fun activities! Firstly, the boys were looking at the Farm in our Aistear stations. We also had a great time at our Céilí during Seachtain na Gaeilge! And finally, we’ve been learning all about the life cycle of the butterfly, having our very own caterpillars in the class! So our boys have been planning for the perfect spot for these butterflies to live on our school grounds 😊🦋 A jam packed month to say the least!
Ms. Kavanagh's Senior Infants: March
We had a brilliant and busy month in Senior Infants! We enjoyed all the events and activities during Seachtain na Gaeilge: dancing at the Céilí, a scavenger hunt with 4th class, saying our poem on Radió Naomh Bríd! We also had lots of fun exploring the theme of the farm and Spring in Aistear this month: playing in the farm shop, making farm animal masks, painting barns, planting cress seeds and lots more! World book day was another exciting day and we loved doing paired reading with 4th class boys. We have also been working hard on our curly letters with painting activities. Well done boys on a month of lots of hard work!
Ms. Moran's Senior Infants: February
This month the children have been taking part in lots of hands-on activities! We made our own Valentines cards, ‘Grá’ posters and practised our number formations through painting! We also have our news time each Monday and the boys always love drawing, writing and sharing their stories with each other to kick start the week 😀
Ms. Kavanagh's Senior Infants: February
February has been a fantastic month in Senior Infants! We have been learning all about the fire station and fire safety. The boys were role playing as firefighters and building fire stations. In maths, we were learning about 3D shapes and transformations with lots of hands-on activities. We have also been working hard on number formation using a variety of materials. There was lots of love in our classroom coming up to Valentine's Day! Singing Valentines songs, painting Grá pictures and a fine motor skills activity of passing the ‘love’ around to our friends <3
Ms. Moran's Senior Infants: January
This month the boys are learning all about the Garda Síochána! They really enjoyed our role play area. The boys also loved working together with the BeeBots. They were given challenges to get their BeeBot to different locations on the map. They had to give the correct directions to their Beebots to complete these challenges! We all had super fun with this activity.

Senior Infants have been enjoying Yoga and working in the Garda station this month... St. Brigid's is in safe hands! We thoroughly enjoyed welcoming our grandparents to our classroom - thank you for coming. We also had the opportunity to use BeeBots this month and put our technology skills to the test!

It has been a busy September in Senior Infants! The boys have enjoyed exploring their new classroom. We have spent time exploring a variety of activities over the month.

As well as this the boys are exploring the theme of ‘The School’ during Aistear; making schools and playgrounds from lego, role playing as different people who work in the school, creating artwork based on the school and reading to friends in the library. What a fantastic start to the school year!
