JUNIOR INFANTS WEEBLY: 19/20
Click the link to find Ms Adrienne’s and Ms Caroline’s Junior Infant activities. Ms Caroline manages a very active Class DoJo on a weekly basis but this is only visible to parents and children of our current Junior Infant Class. It has proved to be a valuable communication tool throughout the year and during the current school closure since March 2020
Marine Pollution
We completed our project with ‘Sea Syenergy’ recently. The class did a super job and learned a lot about the affects of marine pollution. The marine biologists visited us twice. On the second occasion, they showed us a powerpoint on whales and dolphins and will return in a few week with an aquarium for the classroom. Well done 3rd class!

Sixth Class Homework Survey: The Results.
Homework Survey October 2017
First Day for First Class.
Spring has sprung some chicks!
They are adorable! We all got to rub their soft fluffy down. It was a long wait for ‘Joey’. Chick 2 arrived two days later, at ‘sos beag’. The teachers were more excited than we were, nearly!. Ms Mary calls Chick 2 ‘Goldie’. But Ms Noelle says it’s a democratic decision. We will call her ‘Tiny’. We can’t wait for tomorrow.
Hello Joey!
Joey is waiting for the others to hatch…..
Here’s ‘Tiny’, exhausted after battling her eggshell.
Joey meets ‘Tiny’…
Six chicks, by Friday! We are thrilled. What a lovely surprise, on our last day before Easter hols.
All of First Class are invited to pop in this Sunday to count the chicks and say ‘Goodbye’ before the go to their new home. School doors will be open between 11.30 and 12noon. Siblings and parents welcome too!
Congratulations Sixth.
Our Easter Chicks.
Mr Liam gave us an incubator filled with eggs. They ‘are due’ this week!!!
What will we do, if they hatch during the hols?. We gently turn them every day two times. Ms Noelle thinks the names we are thinking of for our Easter Chicks are perfect. But we haven’t fully decided yet, until EACH ONE hatches…..
No omelettes in our classroom!
Gently does it….
Our Book Launch!
We are so proud! It was wonderful that all our parents found the time this morning to celebrate our published books and to have a cup of tea, served by Ms Anne Moore and Ms Noreen. They even got to taste some of our teacher’s banana cake……a recipe which is a secret! This was the first day that we actually got to hold our printed books. It was soooo exciting as we counted 3, 2, 1 before we opened our envelopes. Ms Mary was amazed by both the quality of our stories and the quality of illustrations and layout in our books. Thank you Ms Ann. Thank you Mums, Dads and Nans……We will read them again tonight and tomorrow night and for many nights to come.
Ms Ann presents each of us with our books.
Thank you!
Nearly time to open them!
3,2,1……
Wow!
Satisfaction!
‘Keep going…..we are listening’.
So chuffed, we bought 2 copies!
Even my little sister came. She LOVES books.
Our parents are really impressed.
My Nan came too. She is a great listener.
Three of us were lucky because our names were pulled out of a hat and therefore we got to read our books to the whole audience. Ms Annn showed each page on our interactive whiteboard.
‘Should I take a bow?’
Everyone read the last page of each book out loud. That felt really good. And the audience gave a cheer!
This story was about two characters Poppy and Snow. Snow wondered should they eat her pet ‘Fishy’? You will have to buy the book to find out!
Wonderful illustrations.
Imaginative settings.
Reading a book together makes the whole experience even better.
Great characters.
Finally, we were all given a gift of a little book from Polymath!
And ultimately, the best surprise for one special author, was the arrival of her mum, who rushed all the way from Cork to hear her favourite daughter read her new book!
And Ms Geraldine, on her birthday, enjoyed this private reading too!. Happy Bday Geraldine. WELL DONE, EVERYONE!📓[/caption]
Look at the art all around Third Class!
Recycled Engineering.
Fifth and Sixth Classes created beautiful bicycles from recycled materials as part of our Green Schools Project on Transport🚲. It’s time to get back on our bikes, now that Spring is here. Be safe and be seen🚦
Well done Andy Rogers!
A bike made from Coke cans and cork. Well done Bobby Byrne👍.
Kathlyn Murphy used a pliers to create a bike made of wire.
We love the suspension detail under the saddle of this cute, colourful bike.
Raymond Lowe got a HUGE cheer from his classmates when he won First Prize. Fifth Class are a really nice bunch of people! Well done Raymond…..Love the handle bars!
Lego cars
Design Challenge
Busy at work . Planning , designing and creating Lego cars
Working as a team
Plenty of discussion on the best way forward.
Smiles of delight as plans fall into place.
Now for the real test. Which car will travel the fastest or the longest distance ????
Ready, Steady , Go.
We might need to go back to the drawing board so that our cars can travel faster or further.
If you go down to the woods today………
Thanks are due again to our parents for dropping and collecting Third Class. Ms Ann, the ‘Bramble Club’ and Coillte led the children to our planting spot.One tree for each child. Gillian Wharton and Joan co-ordinated the whole event. It was a wonderful activity for all.
The P Team.
Put down our bags.
The ‘Bulldozer Team’ clears the plot.
And we know what the ‘Digger Team’ had to do!
Working hard 10 @ 10

Lots of Reading and Engineering for Sixth Class.
Sixth Class were involved in everything this week! They gladly read books to our younger pupils on World Book Day. On Friday they participated in an Engineering Workshop with Mr Jones. This was hosted by Kerry Library for Engineering Week 2017. Many thanks to all the organisers. Ms Gillian’s class really enjoyed the demonstration and the marshmallow challenge.
When you share a book, you can chat about the story, the characters and the storyline. This enhance’s a child’s enjoyment of reading. It deepens understanding and comprehension too.
World Book Day also helped forge new friendships.
A future Patrick Collison, perhaps? ( His Doppleganger!)
I think we can, I think we can, I think we can…..
I knew we could!
World Book Day Celebrations.
There was great excitement around the school today as we dressed up as characters from our favourite books. Senior pupils read to Junior pupils and shared their favourite Book with them. Fourth class paired with Senior Infants and really enjoyed the experience.
Two children engrossed in a book.
I wonder if the giraffe liked the story!!
Pretty in pink.
Lovely to see a big brother reading to his younger brother in Seniors.
Fairytales here, there and everywhere.
Mr.Bump even met another Mr.Bump. Can you believe it!!!
