Well-Being Week 2021!!

Senior Infants are big fans on mindfulness, grounding and meditation. They worked so hard all week to focus and relax throughout the day. Sometimes we just need to take a moment to ourselves and focus on some mindfulness. 

Pauline told the very important story of Áine Óg and what she did when she was feeling worried, sad or anxious. The children learned the important ways to cope when feeling sad. Look for an adult, speak to an adult and listen to the advice from the adult. 

We had a lot of movement breaks and exercises throughout the week. Movement and exercise are so important for our well-being!!

Happy faces enjoying some chocolate during chocolate meditation.

The children created some lovely calm jars to help them focus when they are doing their meditation at home. What a super fun week we had. Well-being is so important, especially during these tough times we find ourselves in. 

Spring has Sprung!!

The Senior Infants have been learning all about The Garden Centre in Aistear for the month of March. They created this beautiful art display with their lovely daffodils. We have also been talking about the parts of a flower and how important these parts are for a flower. We looked at and labelled some Daffodils in class.

Take a look at our fantastic St. Patrick's Day Art!

Planting seeds in Senior Infants!!

Senior Infants have been very busy since their return to school. We have been learning all about what plants need to survive and grow. Each group planted their own seeds and we discussed what these seeds will need to grow. We have plenty of cress growing in our classroom now and we love getting to see our seeds every morning.

It's not what's under the tree that matters, it's who's gathered around it
