☀️☀️October in the Junior Room☀️☀️

Below is some pictures from the month of October.

In English, the children worked on the following stories: ‘The Gruffalo,’ ‘The Hidden Forest,’ Handa’s Surprise’ and ‘Room on the Broom.’

We learned the poem ‘Five Little Pumpkins and Junior Infants worked on ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ and Three Blind Mice.’

The children are working very well on their handwriting and mark making as well as their Phonological Awareness and Phonics.  We studied Narrative Writing as well as capital letters and full stops.

In Gaeilge, we work on An Scoil agus Oíche Shamnha agus learned the poem ‘Púca, Púca.’

We enjoyed learning our football skills with Múinteoir Míchael as well as working on the strand of Athletics as well as the Rinka workshop.

In Art, we created fabulous Halloween clay pots, paper plate pumpkins and drawing the witch from ‘Room on the Broom.’

We also really enjoyed completing activities based on Halloween in both Music and Drama.  We especially loved the song ‘All in the Middle of the Night.’

I hope you all have a lovely Halloween

Check out our ‘Spooktacular’ performance (click play above and below) from our very first Ukelele session with the wonderful Red Connolly. Such fun!

These sessions are part of Our Creative Schools process but tie in so wonderfully with our Wellbeing Initiative.

Thank you to Red for his time and expertise. Boys and girls..you rocked!!

🏆🏆Winners of The Mary Linnane Shield🌟🌟

A huge well done to the senior room boys and girls who took part in the National School Hurling blitz in Cill Chomain GAA Club on Friday.  The boys finished 3rd in their group and the girls won the Mary Linnane Shield. Everyone played really well and had a great day. Thank you very much to G.D. Plant Hire and Pat Neary Formwork who sponsored our new jerseys. We think the new jerseys brought us good luck👌
