Merry Christmas!

Well done to Junior Infants on their fantastic performance of The Nativity.

We had lots of fun being elves, reindeer and Santa. We built toys, packed toys into Santa's sack and delivered toys.

We enjoyed our Christmas themed morning activities.

We talked about which items were longer/ shorter/ taller. We measured the length of objects using cubes/ blocks/ links/ lollipop sticks etc.

We have been working hard on our cutting skills. We did great cutting of our penguins.

First Class went on an autumn nature trail and collected fallen leaves to make print art.
