Junior Infant Shape Hunt

Junior Infant Shape Hunt

To celebrate Maths Week Junior Infants have been doing lots of fun Maths activities.

Today Ms Murray's class went on a shape hunt around our school! We saw lots of circles, squares and rectangles but we only saw one triangle! What shapes can you see in our video?

 

 

Say Cheese!

Junior Infants got their first school photos taken last week.

Don't we look great in our lovely clean uniforms!

Ms. Murray's Junior Infants 2013

Shapes, shapes everywhere!!

Ms Redmond's Junior infants went on a shape walk around the school grounds. We were trying to find 'Sammy Square' and 'Cindy Circle'. We couldn't even begin to count how many circles and squares we found, there were so many!! Can you spot the shapes in our photo's?

Ms Redmond's class went on an Autumn Hunt!

Junior Infants had a brilliant time on their Autumn Scavenger Hunt. They found sycamore seeds 'helicopters', conkers, all sorts of Autumn leaves; red, yellow, brown and orange and even the home of an animal we think.

Ms Hickey's class love maths stations!!!

We practiced our counting, adding, matching and pattern making! :)

During maths stations the children reinforce their learning through a variety of fun activities. Each group moves to a different table after 10 minutes. The activities include making patterns using pegs and pegboards, matching number and picture cards, counting objects and making simple addition sums. Maths stations work really well for this class and they absolutely love maths as they are learning but having fun at the same time :)

Ms McHale's Class went on a Circle Hunt

We have been learning all about the circle this month.  We have played circle games, done some circle art and crafts, and cut and coloured circles.  On a rainy day we decided we would check how much we learned so we went out on a walk around the school to try and find all the circles around the school.  We had to look every where.  Some were high up and some were low down, but we had our brain boxes turned on and we found loads.  Here are some of the circles we found.

Autumn Leaf Hunt

Today was a lovely sunny day so Ms McHale's class went out for an Autumn Leaf Hunt. We are very lucky to have such a lovely school with so much nature around us. On our walk we found lots of Autumn Leaves, coloured red, brown, yellow and orange. We also found lots of conkers and chestnuts under the horse chestnut tree. 

We had a great time on our walk.
