Food, Glorious Food!

Our theme for November was food and we did lots of activities based around food and the restaurant. Have a look.

Here we are playing role play and pretending we are chefs, waitresses, waiters and customers.

It was science week so we did three experiments using things you would find in the kitchen. We had so much fun for Science weeks and we loved making predictions about what we thought would happen.

This experiment is called dancing raisins:

We also did a skittles experiment. This was our favorite.

We made lava lamps out of food coloring, oil , water and alka-seltzer .

Teacher apologies for any hands that were stained during this one!!!

Finally we learned all about magnets as we always see these on the fridge, but we did a magnet hunt around the class to see what else they can stick to.

We did some food themed art too, we hope you like it.

We are spooktacular!

Look at the Halloween fun we had!

We learned all about spiders, We even made our own spiders out of clay!!!!

We made spooky Halloween themed playdough creations!!

We had to cut out spiders and we had to make sure we kept all their 8 legs.

We learned how to draw spider webs with chalk and made a mummy out of wool.

We were witches and wizards in the role play area and made lots of spooky potions.

On our last day of school before midterm before Halloween, we dressed up.

Back to school

Hello everyone,

Here are some of our pictures of what we have been getting up to in Senior Infants so far. Our theme for the month was school, so our playtime was based on this. Take a look at us being teachers, students and principals, playing with school themed toys and making our school themed art and jigsaws . Don’t worry, our teacher disinfects the toys at the end of each day and we stay playing with our table group .

First look at our beautiful and colorful art:

Here we are during playtime:

We also went on a hunt around the school looking for different things and marking them off if we saw them:

We also had some fun playing instruments along with the songs we learned :

Final Week

Hello everyone,

It has come to our final week of school and it is certainly not like it should have been. I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you have put in over the last number of months and your engagement with me. Being out of routine and the classroom myself, having interaction with yourselves and seeing the children’s work has been a great distraction for me. I understand, it has been no easy task for any of you and I cant imagine the stress you were facing, but any bit of work that you did with the kids you should be very proud of . Enjoy your well deserved break from home schooling.

To my senior Infants, I didn’t get enough time with you all, I watched you grow so much in numerous ways from September to March and I could not be more proud of the class you became. I know I had to be cross in September at times but when ye became settled we could finally start having fun. And what fun we did have, I never knew a class to love art, music and dancing as much and it seemed Mr. Cronin always came in when were doing one of these. I think he must have though we never did any work.!! All of you worked so hard and to see your work improve in these months brought me great joy. Each and everyone of you are so special to me and I have missed you all since lockdown started. I know you miss your friends but you will be together again and will have so much catching up with each other and playing together. I hope to see you all on the yard and on the hallways now that you will be big first class pupils. Don’t forget to say hello to your old Senior Infant teacher when you see me. Have the most amazing Summer and enjoy everyday, because it wont be long till you are back to normal and asking your poor first class teacher “When’s it home time?” You will be glad to know this weeks work is purely fun and I hope you enjoy it. I would love to see some pictures.

Take care, stay safe and have fun.

Ms Gordon
