Ms Peyton’s class had great fun today making St. Brigid’s Crosses on this special day. They used rushes and worked together really well to produce beautiful crosses.
Paired Reading with Ms. Smith’s 1st class and Ms. O’Reilly’s 5th class. The 5th class boys and girls visit 1st class every week to take part in paired reading activities.
This is a very enjoyable experience for everyone and all children look forward to it every week!
Senior Infant children learned all about different types of houses and homes during the month of January. We went for a walk down town to see all the different types of houses in Virginia. We visited the Estate Agents Sherry Fitzgerald, Fintan Cahill, DNG and Browns. We looked at all the different types of homes that are for sale and for rent in Virginia. Fintan and Kathryn Cahill invited us into their lovely new office to see their brochures, keys, camera and drone. Fintan even demonstrated how the drone works in his backyard. It was great fun. We went back to school and explored the theme further during Aistear Play. For Role Play we acted out the Estate Agent’s office, for Construction we built wooden houses and put them up for sale or for rent, for Creative Play we made a range of houses using junk materials, for Small World Play we furnished and decorated a range of dolls houses and put them up for sale or rent, and for Literacy Play we wrote and illustrated property brochures. We really enjoyed exploring the theme of houses and homes.
