Scratch Coding with Ashling!

We had a very interesting morning last week when a parent, Ashling, came into our class to teach us all about coding and show us how to make an image come to life on a computer screen! 

The children were extremely engaged and listened very well during this lesson and they all managed to make aliens, space ships and astronauts move around on the Moon or in Outer Space which I really was very impressed by! 

The children were given a small slip of paper with a username and password if you'd like to your child to try it during the Summer. I really couldn't believe how quickly they got the hang of it, so well done you clever Junior Infants!

Shopping spree!

The children had a busy Aistear the week before last; going to the Supermarket to buy groceries, sorting foods into correct food groups, using the food pyramid and making lots of different foods out of play doh and creating their names using pasta.  They were even learning all about how certain foods melt and certain foods don't, which meant they got to make Rice Krispie buns, yum yum!
