We all fit together in Senior Infants!

September was a busy month in Senior Infants and all the children settled back into school life wondefully. We read the story 'The Day the Crayons Quit' and 'The Crayon box that talked' in SPHE. These stories taught us how important it is to include everyone in our class and how each and every one of us are unique! 

The children completed wonderful art work based on these stories. 

We also focused on our favourite things in History. We talked about what our favourite outfit to wear is. The children planned these outfits and designed them. They created a beautiful art display. Check out our 'September Self-Portraits' on our wow work wall. Amazing work by Senior Infants and we are all so proud of how well they have settled back into school.

End of Year Message

  A massive thank you to all the children and parents of Senior Infants who have worked so incredibly hard this year, and adapted to online teaching seamlessly in the last few months. Without the dedication and support of the parents, it really could not have been done.

 I really enjoyed interacting with you all on the Seesaw app and I have been very impressed with all the uploads, videos and pictures you have done since the schools closed in March.

 I hope everyone has a super summer and I look forward to seeing you all again really soon.

Wishing you all the very best in September.

Kind Regards,

Ms.Judge

Once again thank you for all of your work and support, you have been amazing throughout all of this.
