Scoil Mhuire’s Seisiún group kicked off the new year with a few tunes this week!  The group meets once a week and gives all children the opportunity to play traditional Irish tunes together for fun!

Everyone gets to start a tune of their choice and play along with others!

Happy New Year!

Junior Infants have been getting all ready for Christmas!

We made traditional paper chain decorations for the classroom, cut out and painted Christmas tree decorations from clay,

built Santa’s sleigh, and wrapped presents to put in it!  We also practiced extremely hard for the Christmas show and

put on a wonderful performance for other classes and all our parents!

Well done everybody! 

Our clay ornaments

We made lots of paper chains!

We built a fine sleigh for Santa, which involved an awful lot of red paint!

We worked very hard wrapping presents to put in Santa’s sleigh!

I wonder what’s in this one?

Can you tell which Junior Infant this is taking Santa’s sleigh for a spin?

Happy Christmas!

Nollaig Shona agus Athbhlian faoi mhaise daoibh go léir!

Junior infants had great fun opening up a toy shop in the classroom!

We set up the shop, put price stickers on toys, and sold them to customers.

We also made toys for the shop ourselves, using lego and straws.  During creative play, we crafted our own toilet roll toys!  Finally we made musical shaker toys, which are going to be used during our Christmas show……

This toy was a big hit!

What great toys!

Our shakers sound great!

A master builder!

Here is just a flavour of what we have been up to!

We set up a restaurant in the classroom and had great fun making menus and waiting on and serving customers.

Say cheese!

More eager customers!

Another happy customer!

Not every classroom, has a buffet!

We made food out of plasticine!

Mmm,there’s so much to choose from!
