Starfall Reading

The Senior Infants have started to go over some of the stories we read last year. They can practice at home by using the Starfall website below.

Pattern Game

The infants have been working on patterns this week in maths, particularly the Junior Infants. I have found a great game below that will help practice at home.

Please take any opportunities at home to also explore patterns in the house - wallpaper, flooring, curtains etc.

Friday Art

Today in art we were drawing pictures and we saw what it was like to draw on different surfaces. We drew on the page while at our tables. We also drew on the ground by the hopscotch which was very bumpy. We drew while we were on the astroturf which was "soft" and "squishy" and finally we tried to draw up against the wall in the astroturf but that was very "bumpy and up and down"!

Senior Infant Maths Game

This is a good game that the seniors can use to work back over numbers that they may have forgotten over the summer holidays.

Jolly Phonics Songs for Junior & Senior Infants

Here is a video that the infants can use to remember their songs as they do their Jolly Phonics work at home.

Counting and Ordering Games

Click the pictures below to play two games we used in class to help with counting and ordering.

Junior Infants should use each game to practice their numbers and counting. Seniors can try some of the higher levels beyond 10.

Great first week!

We had a great first week here in NJS. The senior infants welcomed our new junior infants to their first days of school.

The shiny new junior infants all settled in really well and enjoyed the week - even if it was a little tiring!

We started our Jolly Phonics sounds, learned new songs - Slap the Sillies Out was very popular.

On Friday we created our own art by taking a line for a walk.

Enjoy the weekend.
