We were learning all about autumn and we wrote reports about hedgehogs. Ms Ellyn’s class won a competition for making our used water bottles into hedgehogs!
We love to make maths fun. Here we are playing some fun maths games!
Ms Ellyn’s class motto: ‘Bee Kind’. This important message is found outside our classroom for everyone to see as they walk past.

November Review!
We had a really exciting November! Space was our theme in Aistear. We made rockets out of cardboard, we made playdough aliens and we also made space scenery! We learned all about Diwali and the birth of Goru Nanak in Learn Together. We started our in class readers. We love reading!

September in Múinteoir Cathal's class!
Welcome to our class page!
We have had a lovely first month back in Senior Infants! We have been ‘slowing down’ to ‘catch up’ and have spent a lot of time refreshing all the work that we covered in Junior Infants as well as revising some of the material that we didn’t get to cover face to face before the schools closed!
We have spent a lot of time learning about ourselves and each other. We made some self-portraits using paper plates. You can see them below! We have also been learning about Autumn and have tried to go outdoors for lessons as much as possible to explore. We made some paper plate hedgehogs and have also collected lots of leaves… can you guess what we’re going to do with them?
