Hurling & getting active for 10@10

We were so excited to start hurling with our fabulous coach Gerry today. We practised lots of different hurling drills and we even managed to hit some balls with our hurls. We can't wait for next week already. Hurling will run every Thursday for Junior Infants until Easter.

 

 

 

 

 

 


As part of the Operation Transformation initiative, we have been getting active in our classroom for 10 minutes each day.

 

We love our activity breaks :)

January

We are all delighted to be back at school after our Christmas break. January has been a very busy month in Junior Infants. Our theme for this month has been Food. We have been busy working in our "Healthy Eating Café"- preparing food, taking orders and setting the tables. We also tasted different fruits from the story Handa's surprise and made a chart to see which was our favourite class fruit. We used marshmallows to construct lots of different shapes and built "Shop Street" with our blocks.
We learned about Kenya from our story book and made some fabulous African necklaces that the Maasai People wear on special occasions.
We have been learning Gymnastics in PE this month. We are very good at rolling and balancing on the beams.
