It is time to release the butterflies that were in room 5. Their wings are strong enough to help them to fly away to find their own food. They loved their time with Miss T Reilly's class. The children in room 5 went on a minibeast hunt today. We saw many different insects including bees, wasps, dragonflies, spiders and woodlouse. The children did a great job spotting the different insects around the school grounds. Five baby caterpillars are in our class and we are going to watch them go through the lifecycle and eventually change into Painted Lady butterflies over the next while. We had the parents and grandparents in our Junior Infant class today to help the children with an art activity. The activity was based on the book "How to Babysit a Grandad", which the children received in their Clover Pack along with "Ten in a Bed". There was great excitement and they all had a blast. There is a photo of final products. We are learning about Spring in class. We learned about the life cycle of the frog and made some Spring art. In Aistear, the children are working in a Garden centre.
The children from Junior and Senior Infants participated in St. Ronan's first witches walk. The first and second classes completed the Monster Mile Plus Challenge.  (Parents, Grandparents, Teachers, SNAs, children, everyone!) We have a Secret Project and we want your help! Please knit patches in any colour you wish. We suggest 40 stitches 40 rows but any size will work. Drop them in Ms. Hassett in room 8. Thank you! |
