Autumn Nature Walk

The Junior Infants went on a lovely Autumn nature walk around the park in Belmayne and they spotted loads of different 'autumnal' things around our local area.

Some of the children saw red, green and yellow leaves, some saw acorns and conkers and some even said they spotted a squirrel and a hedgehog!

Today we learned all about the sound...

Our rhyme for this sound goes like this - 'Curve around, up like a helicopter, bump, back down and kick.'

At Home in Aistear!

The children were learning all about the 'Home' in Aistear over the last two weeks. They talked about themselves, their families, their homes and met our new Aistear friend, Beebot! The Beebot is a 'coding robot' that can be used in a huge amount of ways to teach many topics and already the children are having great fun with it, while learning a vast amount of vocabulary linked to each topic.
They also built their dream home, made family members and houses out of playdoh, painted their 'hidden names' and played with small houses and toys from the home.
Take a look at what some of the children got up to 'At Home'!
