Literacy Lift Off

For the past 6 weeks,Senior Infants have been  taking part in ‘Lift Off’. In this literacy initiative all the children are individually tested  using the Burts Reading Test. They are then grouped according to their reading levels.

Every week, the children get the opportunity to read two PM books at this level, bothof which are brought home to be read with their parents for homework. They also complete a PM Writing assignment and engage in vocabulary and phonics work. 

In this programme the class teacher is supported by the SEN teacher and the SNAs, within the class setting.

Thank you to all who helped make this such a success.

Busy Bees

This month we were learning all about bees. We wrote some acrostic poems and Ciara very kindly brought us in some honeycomb from her grandad's farm.

April- Forces

Yesterday, we were learning about forces in Science. We each had a car to examine the different way we can push and pull it. As a class we brainstormed other forces that we use throughout the day.

Science Experiment

Yesterday in class we made slime using baking powder, saline solution, PVA glue and food colouring. We had great fun and we got to bring some home.
