Term 1 in Room 1
We have had a very busy half term…..enjoying structured play daily, learning sounds, Irish, nursery rhymes, poems, songs, matching and sorting in Maths and learning all about Autumn. Have a look at the photos below.
First Day of School
Monday August 31st was a very special day for the boys and girls in Junior Infants Room 1 as they started school in St. Joseph’s. They were super saying goodbye to Mammies and Daddies outside the school and coming in all by themselves. Well done! We look forward to growing and learning together this year. Check us out below – we look so grown up in our school tracksuit!

Girls and boys, it’s such a strange end to your first year in school. It was an absolute pleasure having each one of you in my class. I enjoyed getting to know you all and watching you grow and learn. I have many happy memories of all the fun we had together before our year was cut short. I am so proud of all the hard work you did throughout the year but especially in the last few months. You are a credit to yourselves and your families. I hope you have a wonderful summer. You’ll be so grown up in Senior Infants the next time I see you.
Parents, thank you ever so much for your constant co-operation, dedication and support since September and especially since Covid 19 began. I appreciate all that you did.
Enjoy the holidays and stay safe,

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a great weekend. Well done on all the amazing work completed last week. My email address for anyone who wants to contact me is mkirwanji@hotmail.com
You’ll be happy to hear that this week we are reducing the work further. We will do English activities two days and Maths activities two days. We are also going to have a Wellness Week this week with lots of fun activities for you to try.
Monday:
Practise Jolly Phonics Tricky Words: here, there, they, go, no, so, my
(These words cannot be sounded out, they will have to be learned.)
The children have come across the words ‘they’ and ‘go’ in their readers so they should already know these words. The other words are new. Daily practice of these words – look and say each word until they are familiar with them and recognise them on sight. Writing or printing each word separately on paper will help when practising them.
