May in the Infant Room
We had great fun this month and learnt so much. We explored items that float and sink. We went on a walk around the village and learnt about all the different types of transport vehicles. We made our own vehicles using construction materials. We took part in a Letter and Sound Scavenger Hunt with Ms. Coyle’s class.This was so much fun looking for different sounds and letters in the environment. We learnt about Weight in Maths. We picked daisies in our groups out on the yard and we weighed them using a balance scale.
Ms. Sarsfield kindly treated us to some ice- lollies to cool us down in this warm weather.
The Post Office
For Aistear, The Post Office was set up in the Infant room for the month of April. The children enjoyed writing their own letters to their friends and then would post them in the morning. Ms. Sarsfield was busy delivering the post every morning.
Each child made their own Postbox using a shoe box. Ms Sarsfield would like to thank all the parents/guardians who contributed items for The Post Office.
