Practice makes perfect! Phonics.
February 2020:
We have been working SO hard on learning our jolly phonics sounds and handwriting our letters!
We do lots of fun activities to help us practice blending our sounds together to make and read words.
We use kinetic sand and alphabet cutters to make words.
We engage in free writing with whiteboards and markers.
We use handwriting apps on our ipads to practise our letter formation.
We also love making letters using playdough!

January 2020:
We have been learning all about clothes this month! We compared winter clothes to summer clothes. We became fashion designers and practised our cutting skills when making new outfits!
We opened a roleplay clothes shop and had lots of fun buying and trying on outfits.
We also built our own clothes shops using the big blocks.

Animal magic show
Science week:
We had a few furry friends visit us in school for Science week!
We were very impressed with the chinchilla's spinning tail.
If we listened well and could answer the questions correctly we got to hold the animals.
It was SO fun!
Thank you Animal Magic!!

STEM challenge - the three little pigs 🐷🐷🐷
After we read the three little pigs story , we decided to try build the houses out of the different materials - sticks, bricks and straws. We wanted to see if we could do a better job! End result .... We think we did amuch better job. The wolf couldn't knock down any of the houses, no matter how much he huffed and puffed!

We have been learning all about colours in Junior infants and what better way to show off the colours we know, than by painting a rainbow!? We used cotton buds as a painting tool and painted a new colour each day!
