May Madness in the Junior Classroom!!

Another busy month has come and gone in the Junior Classroom!

We said goodbye to our classmate Conall and his family at the start of the month. We wish them every happiness in Scotland and we hope you are all settling in well 🙂

 In SESE, we have been learning about “Water” so we made our own “Sponge Boats”.

Take a look at them floating!

We also drew pictures in response to the poem “Water, Water Everywhere”

In History, we have been learning about all the different forms of transport and how they have developed through the years.

We made our very own “Hot Air Balloons” to support the work we covered 🙂

Our “Sunflowers” are growing very well. Look how tall they have grown since we planted them in April!!

In English, the children listened to the story of “The Rainbow Fish” and they designed their own fish scales using oil pastels and tin foil!

 “The Church” has been a topic we have covered in Religion this month. We looked at the different features inside a church and designed our own “Stained Glass Windows” in response to the work covered.

 We made them transparent by putting baby oil on the back so that they could be seen inside or outside our classroom window!!

 Finally in Art, the theme of Summer was explored! Using paper plates, the children sponge painted them and cut out the edges to create spectacular suns!

Well done Junior & Senior Infants!
