We have had a busy month in the Junior Room. All the boys and girls have settled in really well in their new classes and are doing fantastic. We are all so excited to be in our beautiful new room.
We have a few little special characters in our room….. the ‘Birthday Bear’ can be seen below with the girls and boys that celebrated their birthdays this month. We also have a ‘Kind Bee’ and we are all working really well at being kind and respectful. The ‘Tidy Table Fairy’ has come to visit our room a number of times throughout the month and has left lovely notes on some of the children’s desks.
Our theme for this month was Myself. Some of the material we have worked on this month is as follows:
The story of ‘The Little Red Hen,’ ‘The Three Little Pigs,’ ‘The Lamb Who Came to Dinner’ and ‘Incredible Me!’ We worked on lovely Nursery Rhymes too: ‘Little Bo Peep,’ ‘Hey Diddle Diddle,’ ‘Incy Wincy Spider’ and Hickory Dickory Dock’ and we leaned the poem ‘September.’ All the children are doing really well revising the letter sounds and on their phonological awareness.
In Gaeilge, we learned a lovely dán- Seasaigí Suas and worked on the themes of Mé Féin agus An Fómhar.
In SESE, we learned about the various rooms in the house, our family tree, and how we are all unique. Music Generations and GAA Nursery have begun again this year and we are all really enjoying both.
All the children worked really well on the topic of Data and Patterns in Mathematics. We made some fantastic patterns using different resources.
The boys and girls also created fabulous pieces of Art based on Myself throughout the month.
