September 2025
September has been an exciting start to the school year for our Senior Infants! The children have settled in wonderfully, full of curiosity and enthusiasm, ready to explore and learn.
Our classrooms have been alive with creativity. One highlight was making scarecrow art inspired by Julia Donaldson’s The Scarecrows’ Wedding. The children enjoyed bringing the story to life with their own unique designs!
We also had fun outside with an Autumn Scavenger Hunt, spotting the colours and treasures of the season while exploring the school grounds.
In Gaeilge, our theme this month was Seomra Ranga. The children enjoyed learning new words and phrases all about the classroom, helping them get familiar with their new environment while having fun with the language.
Senior Infants also began their homework routine, building new skills and developing good learning habits. We were so excited to welcome our parents in for our Class Meetings, where they could see our classrooms, our work on the walls, and all the activities we’ve been enjoying.
This month, we also started visiting the school library! Our library day is Monday, and each child can borrow one book to take home and enjoy.
It’s been a fantastic first month full of creativity, learning, and new experiences, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
November 2025
November has been a busy and exciting month for our Senior Infants, filled with new activities, learning, and lots of fun!
We began gymnastics this month, and the children have loved practicing their balancing, stretching, and movement skills. It has been a great way to stay active as the weather turns colder.
We also had our Parent-Teacher Meetings, a lovely opportunity to share all the wonderful progress the children have been making and celebrate their hard work.
Another big focus this month was practicing for our Winter Concert. The children have been busy learning songs and actions, and the excitement is definitely building as the performance gets closer.
We enjoyed Buddy Reading too—always a highlight! The children loved spending time with their older buddies, sharing stories, and building confidence in their reading.
As part of STEM Week, we took part in lots of hands-on activities and problem-solving challenges. Curiosity was in full swing as the children explored, built, questioned, and experimented.
We also had Pyjama Day, which brought so much fun and cosy energy to our classrooms. There were lots of smiles as everyone enjoyed learning in their comfiest clothes!
It has been a wonderful month full of learning and excitement, and we are all so looking forward to December and everything it will bring.
December 2025
December has been a busy and magical month for our Senior Infants, filled with festive fun, creativity and lots of excitement!
A big focus this month was preparing for our Winter Concert. The children worked so hard learning their songs and actions, and the performance went wonderfully. They made us all so proud.
Our classrooms were transformed into Santa's Workshops where the children wrapped presents, dressed up as Santa or elves, and used their imaginations to bring the North Pole to life. They also wrote their very own letters to Santa filled with wishes, drawings and lovely messages. We were also joined by a team of Elves on the Shelf who appeared in new places each morning and caused plenty of mischief.
We attended the Winter Fair hosted by 6th Class, which was a huge highlight. The children loved exploring the stalls, playing games and soaking up the festive atmosphere.
It has been a joyful month full of celebration and learning, and we hope everyone enjoys a restful winter break!
