911 Emergency Services
Junior Infants had great fun with our theme of:
The Fire Station
We played in role of firefighters - using a variety of tools to put out blazing fires.
We built firestations and a garage to park the fire trucks.
We played with small world fire brigades and designed a track for the trucks to safely drive on.
Beebots
Junior Infants learned directional language using the beebots - they were able to code them to move forward, backwards, to the left and to the right.
Sometimes, the Beebots weren't reset and travelled all around the classroom. Such fun!
Welcome to our class!
This month we've been exploring SPACE!
So much fun............reading and talking about all these books........
Exercising our little fingers making colourful patterned antennae for our monsters ...........
During playtime we've played with space trains, imagined living in a space station and how we would cook and eat our food. We've made planets and stars with our play-doh.
We've made rockets to fly to space in and coloured alien spaceships too!
This month we've been learning about Houses and our Homes!
During playtime we've built houses with blocks and Magnatiles. We've imagined living in a tiny house and we've played 'House' cooking our food, enjoying meal times with our friends and families and putting the tiny babies to bed.

If you go down to the woods today,
you're sure of a big surprise,
If you go down to the woods today,
you better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
will gather there for certain
Because today's the day
the teddy bears have their picnic!
