Recently, we celebrated the 100th day of the school year in St. Peter’s and we had lots of events to mark the day! We are all 100 days smarter, but what would we look like if we were 100 YEARS smarter? We used an app to age some of our classes to find out! Click ‘read more’ to see the rest of the photos!  

The red table won table of the week. They won table of the week because they have been working hard, keeping their table tidy, being kind to others and working as a team.  

These two girls won star of the week this week! They won because they have been kind to others in school and always try their best.    

Congratulations to this great girl on her full star jar! She got all her stars for being so well behaved in class, working hard and being kind to others! Well done!  

Junior Infants met some miniature horses. We learned how to brush a horse. We learned some safety rules around horses. The ladies were so very nice! Great brushing! Thanks for coming in to teach us about miniature horses!  

Over the past the couple of weeks in Senior Infants we have been learning about hospitals and doctors as part of our Aistear activities. It linked in really nicely with our theme of food and healthy habits! We discussed lots of new vocabulary like ‘accident’, ’emergency’, ‘surgeon’, ‘thermometer’ and ‘stethoscope’. We discussed going to the doctor if we don’t feel well and going to the hospital if we need an operation or have broken our arm or leg. During our role play we played the parts of secretary, doctor, nurse, hospital chef,... 

For the past couple of weeks we have been learning about ‘Food’ in Senior Infants. We have discussed our favourite kinds of food (pizza, chicken, bread and potatoes!) and where certain foods come from. For example we know that Sushi is a Japanese dish, France is famous for bread and Italy is famous for pasta. We also discussed how important it is to eat healthy food. Healthy food gives us energy and helps us to concentrate in school. We love to eat healthy foods like apples, bananas, fish and wraps. We learned about the ‘food pyramid’ and worked in groups to create our own... 

Junior infants have settled really well into school and are working hard! We love our sounds. So far we have done the sounds- s,a,t,i,p,n,c,k,e and we are now working on h! We sing fun songs with our sounds and do fun actions with them too! Look at this boy’s great work! This great boy has been working really hard on his sounds- look how well he has done! We have been having lots of fun and learning lots in Aistear too! Hard at work and having fun!   We love showing off what we have done! Look what we made! We are great at jigsaws! One of the things that we’ve been working really... 

To celebrate Science Week 2015 we decided to get creative in Senior Infants. We have been learning about ‘House and Home’ recently and read one of our favourite books ‘The Three Little Pigs’! We love this story and were inspired to try to design and create our own houses using some different types of materials, including plastic straws, wooden blocks, coloured card and Play Doh. We wanted to find out which material would be best to use to make a house for our classroom puppets. Before the group experiments began we made some predictions. We predicted that the wooden blocks...
