Junior Infants were the first class to win the attendance award in St. Peter’s this year. They had the best attendance school wide, for the month of September! Well done Junior Infants!

As their prize, Junior Infants attended the St. Peter’s cinema. It was SO much fun! To start, each Junior Infant was given a ticket that they needed to look after very carefully. They lined up at the cinema entrance, gave their ticket to the cinema officials and each got to collect their popcorn, sweets and drink from the cinema shop. After a security announcement, the movie was ready to begin. The class enjoyed Madagascar – what a special treat!

Keep up the wonderful attendance Junior Infants! Ms. Farren is so proud 🙂

SuperValu Bray very kindly welcomed our class of Senior Infants to their bakery today.

The class learned about food safety, wore the hats and gloves that the bakers wear, watched the jam doughnuts being filled with jam and then got to cover the doughnuts in sugar.

After that, they watched a cake being covered in cream and sprinkles. Finally, they got to watch the dough being kneaded into bread rolls. They got to take home their doughnuts and got  a goodie bag too (and the teachers got doughnuts too!)

Thanks so much to SuperValu Bray for being so kind to us all. We had a brilliant morning and learned a lot. Special thanks to Ruby’s mam and dad who organised the trip for us!

Here’s our Animoto of our photos from the trip:

This is our Senior Infant update for last week! We use Class Story with Class Dojo every day to keep our families in the loop about all the goings on in Senior Infants, but here are some of our photos of our work from last week.

We’re learning about the colours. Last week, we learned about primary colours. This week, we learned all about secondary colours and made colour wheel umbrellas.

Lots of fun in the Aistear sand stations during the week

The socio-dramatic station was the construction yard and the architect’s office this week.

We used pictures of famous buildings to inspire our constructions during Aistear.

We revised our work on the senses in SESE

A fantastic book that we read this week!

Our Mondrian art display!

Phew! What a busy time! Keep up the great work everyone!

 Welcome back to another year and to our monthly All Star Attenders’ Post. For those of you who are new, each month we make an effort to recognise all those students who have had 100 % attendance for the month. Each student with perfect attendance is given a certificate along with all students who fully completed homework. Those who have full attendance and full homework for the month are also rewarded with a prize such as homework off.

We also run a class competition and the class with the best attendance for the month wins a prize. Some of the prizes last year included trips to The Mermaid Arts Theatre to see a show, Cinema Experience in the Classroom, Ice-cream and Smoothie making lessons and more.

The winning class this month with best overall attendance is Junior Infants. Well done to Ms. Farren’s class. Check back next month to see Junior Infants enjoying their prize.

Let’s not forget all the boys and girls from other classes who did brilliantly. Check out the list below for all students who had full attendance for the month of September. 

JUNIOR INFANTS

Hard to believe that we’re at the end of our first month in Senior Infants – lots of exciting things planned for October already!

This week, our butterflies all emerged and we set them free on Thursday.

It was really interesting to watch the tiny caterpillars eat and grow into not-so-tiny caterpillars. They then turned into chrysalises and then emerged as butterflies.

This was our first week in the Homes theme of Aistear. It was also our first week of the Conversation Station – which led to amazing creations in our PlayDoh station.

Can you see the multi-coloured hammers?

Small World fun!

Busy construction and sociodramatic stations!

Washers, bolts and nails at the PlayDoh station!

A PlayDoh steamroller!

This week we started our work on colour in Art. We learned about Mondrian and about primary colours. We then created artwork based on Mondrian’s work.

This week, we had our parents’ meeting and we signed our parents up for Class Dojo – if you missed the parent code, let Ms Sexton know and she can reissue it for you.

We’re working on our agility and athletics in PE at the moment. Look at the fun we had this week!

We also continued with our stations in literacy and numeracy and started learning the doh-re-mi song in Music. We’ve had an excellent September and we’re really looking forward to all that October will bring!

Some of our recent sorting work!

You can find all of our posts from Senior Infants here.

September posts from Senior Infants

We’ve had a very busy week in Senior Infants!

This week, we started morning stations – Ms Halligan worked on blending with us, Ms Sexton worked on our reading, another station worked on handwriting and the fourth station had some DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time and worked on their free writing.

We love using our whiteboards for free writing!

Ms Ní Chionnaith helps our class during our Ready Set Go Maths stations. This week, we worked on patterns with different sets. Some groups worked with beads and threading, creating patterns with size, shape and colour. Other groups worked with the dinosaurs, sorting by type of dinosaur, by colour and by size. We had lots of excellent discussions about our pattern work in our small groups.

Can you spot the pattern we made?

Pattern work with beads in Ready Set Go Maths this week.

Lots of excellent pattern during Ready Set Go Maths time!

Our nursery rhyme this week was ‘Three Blind Mice’ – we found the middle section very fast when we were learning to sing it – it’s a bit of a tongue twister.

Playdoh birthday cake complete with candles!

This week, we finished our Food theme in Aistear. We used our string telephones from last week’s Science work for Small World play and we used them to ring in our orders to the pizza delivery. Lauren made very spicy pizzas in Small World this week and we had to find good drinks to help us when we eat something too spicy. We decided that all orders from Lauren should come with a free litre of milk!

Liz makes amazing sugarpaste roses and she taught us how to make them with playdoh for our cakes – we had so much fun!

Lots of great work in Aistear this week – check out our PlayDoh pizza!

Next week, we start our new theme – Homes. Our Aistear socio-dramatic station will be the building site. We walked around the school to help us to make a list of the things we need to include in our building site station. We studied the different signs that help to keep the builders safe and we made our own versions. We’re really looking forward to our new theme!

Finally, there was great excitement when two of our butterflies emerged from their cocoons. One of them even made an appearance during class – we were very lucky to see it happen! We hope we have two more butterflies by Monday morning.

Shortly after our butterfly made an appearance!

One of our butterflies with the wings outstretched!

September posts from Senior Infants

Today is an International Day of Peace. We celebrated in Junior Infants by creating beautiful hearts to spread the love on this very special day.

We used our very best crayon grip and colouring skills in designing our hearts. The whole class were very excited to use scissors for the first time to cut them out!

We decided that to honour this special day, we would be very mindful of being kind to each other.

Lots of love,

Junior Infants ❤

1. In the film Luke says he built the treehouse with his Dad. In the book he said it was with his friend Timmy. #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

2. In the book he is just called 'Boy'. In the film the boy's name is Luke! That is a big difference! #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

3. The narrator in the book is the boy. In the film it is the Granny. #5thClass

4. In the film it suggests Luke lived in America. In the book he lives in England (or Inkland as the Grand High Witch calls it!) #5thClass

5. In the film Granny gets diabetes. In the book she got pneumonia. #5thClass

We’ve been busy! We love being back in school.

In June, our famous Lego film director and producer Tommy Lang graduated from 6th Class. He’s off to secondary school and already doing great things, calling in to update us on his news.

He has kindly shared one final video with us so that we can share it with everyone on the blog. Anyone who has ever been frustrated by the outcome of their NCT will enjoy it! We are so proud of you Tommy, and thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity with us through the years. You are a credit to you and your family and we can’t wait to welcome you back to school in June when you deliver a masterclass on film making to our 5th Class students!

So here, it is! Enjoy ‘The Car Shop’.
