Junior Infants absolutely love learning in maths each day. Many say that it is their favorite time in the day :) There has been a big focus on the strand 'number' this past while, with particular emphasis on the strand unit of counting; analysis of number - numeration and combining. To date, we have learned and completed many activities exploring the numbers 0 - 5. These are the focus numbers on the Junior Infant curriculum for this strand. Well done, boys and girls!!!!

Junior Infants completed extensive pre writing activities from September - December. For the month of January, we have started our whole school cursive handwriting scheme. The children have made wonderful progress learning the first seven letters to date. We will continue to progress through the alphabet over the coming months. The above slideshow are images of the cursive letters that we have learned to write so far. Thank you to all parents for the handwriting support at home also. Well done, Junior Infants :)

We have had a very magical month of December. Firstly, our class elf 'Cookie Mc Jingles has been playing funny tricks on us every morning. The children are very excited each morning to see where he is and what he has been up to!

We have been working very hard to learn the songs, actions and lines for our Christmas play 'Whoops A Daisy Angel'. All family and friends who attended the show can agree that the children were absolutely super. Thank you all for coming and supporting us :) 

We have made some beautiful Christmas decorations with our names and year on the back as a sentimental keep sake. Merry Christmas to one and all!!!!!

During October and November, Junior Infants have been learning about a variety of topics. In Aistear, we have had a lot of fun engaging in activities about Autumn, People Who Help Us, Halloween, Materials and Weather. Ms. Carrick is very proud of how independent all of the children are becoming! Keep up the wonderful effort Junior Infants :)
