Ms Comerford’s Junior Infant class

Junior Infants had an exciting end to the school term. We got to visit Tearaways Pet Farm on our school tour and we really enjoyed our trip. We saw lots of animals and had great fun playing together in the activity centre! For music day we got to learn how to play the drums and each class got to perform! We also really enjoyed our active schools week and sports day. We had dancing, gymnastics, orienteering, games and obstacle courses. We are very excited to get our summer holidays and are looking forward to starting senior infants in August.

Mr Tooher’s Junior Infant class

We had a very very busy end of term in Junior Infants.
Academically, our blending of 3 letter cvc (consonant vowel consonant) words has improved dramatically and the 6th class boys came to help us and listen to our progress. In SPHE we understood when and when not to keep a secret and how to be a good friend. In Gaeilge we mastered the 15 dathanna by finding them on our school grounds.
Socially, we made a lot of trips outside of school. We visited the Fire station, the library, the Vet Clinic and also had a garda member call to the classroom. We had a wonderful school tour in Rathcabin pet farm and we were blessed with the weather. We went on a river walk and learned lots of names of trees, plants and birds. To end the year we had a wonderful active schools week where we got to try gymnastics equipment and had a reqlly fun sports day. We will visit the Castle field on the last week for a teddy bears picnic.

excursions. We went to Tearaways for our school tour. The sun really shone for
us on the day and we had a really fun time.
Garda Maureen and Garda Ali gave us a tour of the local garda station in
Nenagh. We got to use the walkie-talkies, visit the interview room and saw the
garda car. Garda Maureen even took our fingerprints!
Finally we had a lovely Active School Week. We enjoyed a trip to gymnastics,
Megan came to do some dance with us , we did some fun games in the GP room
and also outside. The week ended with Sports Day which was brilliant fun.
Mr.Greene treated us to an ice-cream from the ice-cream van at the end of the

forward to going into First Class in September.
