Ms Twomey’s Junior Infant class

January was a busy and enjoyable month in Ms Twomey’s class. We learned lots about toys from the past and enjoyed exploring how children played long ago. As part of our learning, we held a wonderful Teddy Bear Picnic and sang and danced the Teddy Bear Around song together.

We also had great fun taking part in hurling sessions with the TY students from St. Mary’s, which everyone really enjoyed. Another highlight of the month was drumming, where the children loved experimenting with rhythm and sound.

It was a month full of learning, laughter, and fun!

Ms Glennon’s Senior Infants

January has been a very busy month for the girls and boys in Senior infants. They learned
all about 3D shapes and then went on a 3D trail around the school which they thoroughly
enjoyed.
For Show and Tell the children brought in their favourite toy and got the opportunity to
talk about it. They also got time to play with their toys for Aistear.
In Gaeilge this month the children learned the vocabulary for Caitheamh aimssire and na
dathanna.
In SPHE the children started their Stay Safe programme and got the chance to discuss
safe and unsafe feelings.
For assembly this month Senior Infants got the opportunity to sing a song about
Grandparent’s Day and say a poem in front of the whole school. They were absolutely
amazing.

Ms McCutcheon’s 1^st class

1 st class have had a very busy January. They have started learning how to type on the Chromebooks

and are engaging in a typing programme each week which they are really enjoying. They have been

learning about 3D shapes in Maths and about the 5 Senses in Science. We loved celebrating

Grandparents Day and the children recorded short videos explaining why they love their

grandparents. Some grandparents also recorded videos telling us about their time in school which

the whole class found really interesting. We also started hurling and tag rugby this month which has

been so fun!

Ms Shanahan’s 2^nd and 3^rd class

Our class have started preparing for our First Confession and are going to mass weekly. We studied length in Maths and did lots of fun measuring activities. We enjoyed a drumming workshop . We are making great progress in our swimming and many have gone to the ‘deep’ end for the first time. We have Alexandra listening to our reading daily. We have looked at games people played in the past in History and all about water and water conservation in Science and Geography. 

Mr O’Sullivans 6^th class

In January, we did a project about great survivors. 

Some students wrote stories about people who survived historic and natural disasters such as 9/11 and the Titanic sinking.

In maths, we learned about fractions and ratios.

As part of RE, we did scrapbook’s for our confirmation. Every Wednesday, as a sixth class group, we go to the church after yard. We also read and discussed the Bible story of The Good Samaritan.

We also learned some stories in our English book .We read several stories in our book that were very interesting. We are currently reading a book called The Guns Of Easter.

This was a very good month that got us settled back into school.

We are busy preparing for our Confirmation; we try to go to mass every Wednesday. Bishop Fintan sent us a video this week and told us about the new Saint Carlo Acutis. We have just completed a project about schools in the past, the boys found this very interesting and compared it to the schools today. Gerardine Wisdom showed us how to make St. Brigid’s crosses this week, we really enjoyed learning how to make them and they turned out very well. It was also Catholic School’s Week during the month of January and we did some lovely art on Holiness.
