We are exploring all sorts of Hobbies and Play this month in Junior and Senior Infants. In Aistear play time we have set up our own sports shop with lots of fantastic offers for our January sale, along with a Fitness Studio to perfect our 10@10 exercise moves each week! We loved exploring ramps and how toys move using push and pull forces in Science, we compared old and new toys in History and we drew maps of our own playground for Geography.
Santa’s Workshop opened this month and we are having great fun during Aistear play time taking turns on all the different stations- making cookies with play doh, wrapping presents, playing at the Winter table, playing elf games, writing letters to Santa and Christmas cards and making Christmas crafts and decorations.
Junior and Senior Infants are settling back into school at Kilglass N.S. All the staff and children send a warm welcome to our new Junior Infants, as they adjust to all the new experiences of school life!
We are learning all about colours this week and we explored this through some fun activities. We mixed paints to create new colours, we observed and predicted what would happen the skittles when we added water. We made ‘Rainbow Rice’ too by using food dye, vinegar and rice- we enjoyed mixing the rice and shaking the containers really hard to get the colour to spread evenly through all the grains of rice.
