Welcome to Bláithín's Junior Infant Class
2020 - 2021
OCTOBER
Our theme this month is the hospital. Each morning we begin with Aistear and explore the world of doctors, nurses, radiologists, porters and patients through play. It is definetly the children's favourite part of their day! Have a look at how we have been learning this past month.
We arrived back to school last Monday to a BIG surprise... a SCARECROW! We were so excited to see him arrive! We decided to call him Brendan, after our caretaker. Each day we look out our classroom windows to see if he has moved or changed!
Our school assemblies look a little different this year. We are now using Zoom as a platform for our assemblies. Yes it's different but it was really exciting to see all the other classes in the school.
SEPTEMBER
We have been working super hard to improve our han coordination and strengthen our finger muscles. We love doing 'Finger Fun Time' every day, and we can really see a big improvement already!
This work will help us become good writers!

For the month of September, we have been focusing on the theme of Homes. We have been having lots of fun using the story The Three Little Pigs in both Gaeilge and English! We focused on our retelling skills. Here are some of use using our retelling skills. We loved playing teacher for the class!

We have been learning about colours in Maths. Over the weeks we made sets based on colours. We had lots of fun making our colour sets!
We have begun informal reading already this week. It is great that the children can be exposed to texts and grow their love of reading from the begining of their school experience. Everyone in the class has loved having time to read the books we have in the classroom.
We have just finished our first week in Junior Infants and we had lots of fun! We went on a sound walk, worked on our fine motor skills, learned a song for washing our hands and lots lots more!
Look at what we got up to below.
