Aistear Play Time: Easter and Spring

2021 Bringing Holy Week Home A Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday CompanionDownload
We had fun playing at our Easter table this week. We used straw, baskets, chicks and eggs in our play and enjoyed pouring and scooping the birdseed into different containers! And of course cleaning up after too!! Some of the groups used an oasis to stick flowers in for our Easter table.

Story Time In Junior Infants -March 2020

Back to School Again!

8th March 2021

Here are Junior and Senior Infants enjoying being back at school last week. We really enjoyed catching up with our friends.

Happy Christmas!

We were very busy in December this year and had some great fun playing in our different Aistear stations- we pretended we were feeding reindeers, baked lots of fresh treats and sweets in Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen, wrote and designed Christmas cards at the North Pole Post Office and learned how to wrap presents in Santa’s workshop.

Santa Visit to Kilglass!

We all got a great Christmas surprise last Friday when Santa visited our school with treats for us all! We were really amazed that Santa had time to do this at such a busy time of year- all the children were so happy to see him and it reminded us all that the ‘Christmas Spirit’ is everywhere around us this year and we are very grateful for all the good and kind things people do for others at Christmas and all the year round. Nollaig Shona!


Space Activities in Junior and Senior Infants

We are learning about Space this month, and we began this week by building some flying machines for our space characters and a Space station to play in!

On Friday we built some cool flying Space crafts for an Alien or an Astronaut. We all got a box that we had collected at school and cut holes in it to stick the people in and wings.


Summer Holidays are here!

Good morning all, good seeing and talking to some of you last Thursday and glad to hear things have gone well since the school closed in March. Our new classroom is nearly finished and it looks great so we will all be glad to get back into the building in September. We are just finalising our stationary lists for Junior and Senior Infants this week so I will keep you posted on that later in the week.

If we were at school this week we would be looking back on our year so if you would like to fill in any memories you can check you email and draw colour any memories- would it be the fun we had at Halloween?!

Or maybe you remember our Construction site in November?! That was great fun and you were all such good builders too

Or maybe you remember the day the big crane came and poured cement into the foundations of the new classroom?!

Or do you remember Christmas time fun? We were very busy in Aistear this month and decorating cookies!

So there are a few memories that we have for you and here is a lovely picture of you all together,looking forward to that in September again. Enjoy your summer everyone, you have done great work and we are really proud of you.

You have all been very busy lately and we loved seeing your wonderful work and play activities at home. Have a look at some of the fantastic work.


Sligo Airport Visit.

To finish off our Aistear Travel theme for February we visited our local airport at Strandhill. We learned so much from all the people who work in the emergency services and we would like to thank Kevin, Justin and all the staff who told us about the fire engines and Coastguard Helicopter. We all had a turn shooting the water hose, sitting in the fire engine, going inside the Coastguard Helicopter and looking at all the equipment. A great day out was had by all!

Visitors  to  our  classroom.

Junior  and  Senior  infants  were  fortunate  to  have  two  members  of  our  community  visit  our  classroom.Marietta -Anna  Kilcullen’s  grandmother , spoke  about  transport  in  the  past. We  have  been  learning  about  transport  and  the  children  enjoyed  asking  questions  about  the  forms  of  transport  used  when  she  was  young . Marietta  had  many  interesting  stories  for  them.

PJ  Renyolds,  Dad  of  Ione  read  a  story  about  yoga  poses. He  modelled  some  for  us with  Ione  and  all the  children  joined  in. It  was  a  wonderful  experience  and  all  the  children  joined  in. We  love  when  parents  are  involved  in  our  school  and  parental  involvement  in  children’s  education  has  far  reaching  benefits.The  smiles  on  all  the  childrens’  faces  told  it  all.

January 2020 

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.

Christmas is Coming!

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.
