Easter in Junior Infants

We have been working so hard in Junior Infants so to celebrate Easter we did lots of lovely things.

First, we  made special Easter baskets.

Then we went to the garden to have an Easter Egg hunt! Someone had hidden lots of eggs and Easter treats all around the school garden. We had to search in the flowerbeds and under pots to find them!

 

We also did some baking! We made chocolate nests for our fluffy yellow chicks to sit in.

 

We had so much fun!

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
