The Farm

Junior Infants have been busy learning all about the farm. 

We learnt about the different animals that live on a farm and made fabric and fibre animal crafts for display. 

We worked in our groups to make animal reports about some farm animals and then tell the class what we had learnt.

 We wrote about the different animals in our special farm writing books. 

We read some stories about the farm, like Farmer Duck and The Pig in the Pond. 

We also learnt some songs like 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm'. 

Junior Infants know lots about the farm now! 

The Farm

The three Junior Infants were busy learning all about the farm.

We read stories about the farm such as Farmer Duck and The Pig in the Pond.

We learnt about the different animals that live on a farm, like pigs, cows, chickens and sheep!

We even learnt that these animals give us food we eat, like sausages, eggs, and milk!

We had exciting play time with all different farm activities: we painted farm animals, we used animals and sensory boxes to make the farm, we used márla to make farm animals and vegetables and our role play areas turned in to 'Farm Shops!'.

 

We also did lots of writing about the farm. Have a look at our lovely 'farm  books' hanging up outside our classrooms.

Another busy month in Junior Infants!

 

Junior Infants are Learning all about Chicks

The three junior infant classes are learning all about the farm and the animals that live on it.  This week we are looking at the chick.  We are learning to describe the chick, what it looks like and what it does.
Here is a video that teaches us about hens on the farm

We're learning all about the farm.

Junior Infants are learning all about life on the farm this month.  For the last two weeks we have been learning about all the animals that live on the farm.

We have made some farm animal crafts which we have displayed around our corridor and our classrooms.

We are learning to describe all the different farm animals, and their baby animals.

Why don't you talk to your child at home about life on the farm and the animals they will see there.  Maybe you could also bring your child to visit a real farm.  Glenroe Farm is just down the road.  You can visit their website here: http://www.glenroefarm.com/


Here are some videos you can watch at home:

• Farm Animal Sounds for Children
• Learn all about the Farm Animals (Turtle Diary)
• Fun Farm Animal Facts for Children
• A Visit to the Farm

Here are some Animal Songs to sing together:

• Old MacDonald had a Farm
• The Animal Sounds Song
• Mary had a Little Lamb

Have fun learning all about the farm!!
