Ms. O’Donovan’s Junior Infants
This month, Junior Infants are immersing themselves in a fun and creative play theme based on the restaurant. The children are busy working in the pizzeria, cooking delicious pizzas, setting the tables and taking orders from their friends. In the water play area, they are practicing important life skills, cleaning the dishes and scrubbing pots and pans!
Through this imaginative play, the children are developing their social skills, teamwork and developing a sense of responsibility.
Junior Infants have also been learning about “Ain Aimsir” in Gaeilge, and have created some beautiful art based on the song “If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops”. Well done to all!
