Fun and Friendship in the Junior Room

We’ve been as busy as ever in the Junior Room over the last few weeks. Our Play topic was houses and homes. We had fun building houses, apartment blocks, terraced houses and bungalows in Construction, Small World, Junk Art, Play Doh, Sand and completing puzzles and games at the writing area.

We also learned about items that use electricity in our homes.

Continuing on the theme of houses we read the story of The Three Little Pigs and sequenced it. We also drew and painted pigs in art.

Also in art we made pots out of clay. We left them to dry and then painted them nice, bright colours.

We spent an interesting morning learning all about rocks with heritage expert Una Halpin.

In SPHE we learned about being a good friend to others and drew pictures of us playing with friends.

In Maths Junior Infants were learning all about items that are heavy and light.

Finally we continue to learn dancing each week and are looking forward to showing off all our moves at Christmas for you!
