Over the next few weeks, the children will continue writing short sentences and drawing pictures.

This week, the children in room 2 have started to explore clay. Today, the children made lots of different shapes using the material, and used lollipop sticks to cut and make patterns for it.

The children in junior infants were visited by a lifeguard, Paul, on Tuesday morning. Paul is a lifeguard in Tallaght Leisure Centre.

Paul’s visit really helped to extend the children’s learning on the theme of the seaside, which all junior infant classes will be focusing on in the third term. Thanks again, Paul, for coming in. We had a great time chatting with you!...
