Aistear- Autumn

Autumn Aistear was full of fun and exploration.  We used our Autumn checklists to check off things we found and used the tuff tray to design an Autumn tree.  The Senior Infants produced many other creative things such as nature parks (at the Lego station) along with Autumn wands, birds and nests at the art station.  Using the pegboards we created leaves, trees and lots of different patterns. This aims to improve fine motor skills. Finally, at the sensory station the students enjoyed playing with the sand box which was full of Autumn items. 

Leaf Rubbing πŸπŸ‚

We couldn’t learn about Autumn without trying out some leaf rubbing. We used the autumn leaf colours to create fantastic pieces. 🍁 πŸ‚ 

Scarecrow

To get October off to a spooky start, we made a Scarecrow to send to the Galway Pumpkin patch.  If you visit, keep an eye out for him! 

Maths- Patterns

 This week we are exploring Patterns.  We started the week off by getting hands on, making patterns of different types using different materials.

Aistear- All About Me

 Aistear in September linked to our over all theme- All About Me.  We explored this in a variety of ways and many interesting creations were caught on camera! Some of the things spotted throughout the month included; our favourite restaurants, lots of favourite foods, our names, our houses, our town/village, our jobs, our pets and many many more.  This linked nicely with Gaeilge which focused on 'MΓ© FΓ©in' and S.E.S.E. which focused on many elements of our lives including; our families, our community, our school and our senses (pictured below). We look forward to October when we will be exploring Autumn and Halloween!
