Welcome to Junior Infants!

Welcome to Jessica's Junior Infant blog and the first few weeks of Junior Infants. The children are settling in really well and everyone is doing their very best in class. What a brilliant start to the year!

The first few weeks are all about settling in and getting to know the school routine. We have been learning all about our Golden Rules and class rules (Practicing lining up, good listening and sitting, as well as playing and sharing together)

This blog will be used to give updates about the work the children have been doing and what is happening around the school so please feel free to comment on the blog or if you have any questions do not hesitate to email me on belmayneetjessica@gmail.com.

Looking forward to the year ahead!

Jessica :)
