⭐⭐Junior Room in November⭐⭐

We had a great month in the Junior Room.  The children are working on the strand of Athletics in P.E.  We are continuing to take part in the Fyffes challenge and we are really enjoying it.  The children are working really well on recount writing.  We are also continuing to work on capital letters and full stops.  We are continuing to work on the SALT programme and really enjoyed acting out various scenes from the different stories.

We also had a great week celebrating Science week. We examined how to make butter, paper towel colour mixing and rainbow mixing.  We also watched two very interesting presentations based on giraffes and agriculture and we made paper rockets and then checked if they could fly.

We are all looking forward to the Late Late Toy Show this weekend.  We predicted what Christmas jumper Ryan will wear this year and had fun having a look back on previous shows.

 

⭐⭐Junior Room-04th-15th October 2021⭐⭐

The children have worked really well over the past two weeks and we had lots of fun taking part in various activities and completing tasks.  The children worked on 2D shapes in Mathematics and we had lots of fun completing different activities using the shapes.  In Religion, the children learned all about Baptism, and they created beautiful pictures.  For our Art lessons during this time, the children created fabulous hedgehogs using crepe paper and also made hedgehogs using clay.  I cannot wait to see the finished products when they are painted.  For P.E, the children we examined the strand of Athletics.  The children really enjoyed running, jumping, throwing and taking part in activities as a team.  During this time, the theme for our play time was school.  The children constructed fabulous schools, mapped their journeys to and from school, took part in role play and had great fun at the small world station.  For the second week of play, we continued with the theme of school but this time after completing the book ‘Handa’s Surprise’ we examined what school was like in Kenya.  After completing this research, the children then used this information during play time at the various stations.

Also, we have commenced station teaching in the Junior Room.  All the boys and girls are working really well at all four stations and having so much fun.  During this time, we worked on Phonological Awareness, tricky words, dictation, listening skills, pencil control, cutting and colouring.

We had another fantastic week in the Junior Room.  The children took part in dance breaks, practiced their handwriting and pencil control, continued to work on the theme of homes during play time and worked really well on their fine motor skills.  The children took part in different games during P.E and worked very well on revising our sounds and phonological awareness.  We also had some yummy pizza on Friday to celebrate the children’s First Holy Communion day , which took place recently.   We look forward to another fun filled week next week.

The following is a snap shot from the Middle Room this week. We had great fun celebrating Mayo Day and Active Week.   We designed Mayo jerseys, coloured in the Mayo crest, raised the Active Flag and really enjoyed our ice creams.  For P.E, we worked on the strand of gymnastics.  The boys and girls really enjoyed working on this strand.  On Thursday, we went to the seashore, we had a great time and the sun was shining.  We stopped and viewed the tadpoles on our way, we found lots of shells and wrote our names in the sand.
