In October we set about coming up with our active slogan!
We were lucky we had so much interest from all classes in the school and it made our decision very difficult.
The committee decided on a slogan that was catchy, easy to remember and summed up our ethos!
Our slogan was created by Asia in 1st Class and goes like this:
“Every Little Bit Can Get us Fit”
It’s a great slogan as it reminds us that we can do a little bit everyday in the journey towards being more active !
Well done Asia!
A look back at all the hard work, learning and fun we had this year in Junior Infants!
Check out this video of our trip to Clonfert Farm!
We had an amazing day and luckily also had amazing weather.
Junior Infants had a busy morning today heading to our local Lidl in Rathmines!
We have been learning all about the Supermarket in Aistear and role-playing supermarket situations so it was great to put our learning to good use today.
We started the week by writing a list for the Supermarket in our Literacy lesson and using our phonics sounds to sound out the words we needed.
We headed off early this morning and remembered to bring our list and our shopping bags!
When we got to the shop we first had a look at some of the things we had been learning about in class – we spotted the baskets, trolleys, self-checkout, till, cashier and the aisles.
Next we set off in our groups, each group had one thing highlighted on their list to find.
After that came the exciting part, we headed up to the tills to pay for our goods!
We put our items on the belt, gave the money to the cashier and received our change and receipt. We made sure to bag up our items to carry back to school.
Luckily, one of the things on our list was chocolate so we all got to enjoy a chocolate treat for all our hard work when we got back to class! 🙂
January has been a very busy and very fun month for Junior Infants!
Check out some of the things we have been up to:
In January we started Hurling with Coach Jenny. We have loved building these new skills and we might even have some future Dublin players on our hands!
In January our theme for our Aistear was the supermarket and food! We had a lot of fun playing in the role play area and also used it to inspire our writing we have practiced writing shopping lists and here we are writing labels for the food in the supermarket. Check out our amazing phonics work.
We also experienced healthy week this month and we had a lot of fun trying fruits in class and thinking of words to describe them like squishy, slimy, chewy and delicious! We ate pineapple, mango, melon, kiwi, oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.
In January we also started a new creative area in Aistear – Junk Art! We have loved used recyclable materials to make our wonderful creations.
This month we also welcomed our first two Mystery Readers! We have absolutely loved the excitement of finding out who will visit to read us a story and we look forward to lots more mystery readers.
What a great month we have had! 🙂
Check out our video of another successful friendship week in HTETNS!
We had a great week of co-operative games, playground fun, song singing, and activities in the class to build friendship.
Thanks to fourth class who presented at our friendship week assembly and sang us a wonderful song about friendship.
The children in Harcourt Terrace ETNS have had a fantastic start to the new school year!
They have been busy making new friends, catching with up old ones, having fun and of course learning.
Check out our video to see some of the amazing activities our children have been getting up to at school this first few weeks back.
Junior and Senior Infants had a wonderful day for their school tour to Glenroe farm. From the double decker bus to feeding goats it was fun from start to finish!
We started off the day bright and early by travelling on the bus to Wicklow. We had lots of fun on the bus singing songs, playing I-Spy and watching the countryside around us.
When we arrived at the farm we had a quick snack with our friends and then we were ready to see the animals!
We were so excited to explore the farm and get to pet and feed all the different animals.
We saw goats, sheep, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, alpacas and lots more!
After a lot of fun with the animals it was time to enjoy the playground!
We had a fantastic day and were so lucky to have beautiful weather all day too.
We are already looking forward to next years school tour!
