A very busy month

Junior Infants have been very busy this month! We have been watching the weather closely as the leaves fall from the trees and learning all about the autumn activities of hedgehogs and squirrels. During our aistear playtime, we dressed up as hedgehogs and squirrels the hedgehogs made cosy nests for hibernating and the squirrels gathered nuts to store for the winter we also made leaf rubbings and leaf prints and searched for chestnuts and pine cones in the sand tray!

We made an autumn world with márla with loads of hedgehogs and even a tractor! As Halloween approaches, we are dressing up in Halloween costumes and playing trick or treat. We are also making pumpkins and bats to make our classroom really spooky. We even build witches castles with the big blocks.

We now know spooky songs too and make up actions to go with them. Our class will celebrate three birthdays in October; Heidi, Frankie and Dylan will all get to wear the birthday badge and pick a gift from the birthday box. Happy birthday! We are all very excited now about Halloween and can’t wait until next time. Happy Halloween!!
