Pet Fun in February!
Junior and Senior Infants are having great fun at playtime this month as we explore the theme of Pets. Kilglass Pet Shop has been very busy and we are learning all the ways we can ask for help, help a customer, describe an item we need in the pet shop. We are building lots of pet home too and enjoying using our fantastic big blocks for this job.

Classroom pictures through the winter season
A quick selection of various pictures showing the children working, learning and playing through November, December and January.
Christmas and Winter Art
Take a look at a selection of our fabulous art relating to Christmas and winter. We also made Christmas cards, paper plate Santas and painted winter landscapes. The children loved hearing about the march of the penguins as they made their way into the Antarctic interior.
Art
See below three pieces of art from the last few weeks. For the Autumn Trees, we used our fingers to paint the leaves. For our rockets and planets, we used oil pastels.
Initial sounds
We did some activities involving matching words to their initial sounds and spelling three and four letter words.The children loved solving the puzzles and making matches.
Shoe box Appeal
Junior and senior infants were delighted to send their shoe boxes to poorer children around the world, to help make their Christmas a little bit more special. Thank you for all your support!
Gaelic Football Training
We started Gaelic football training with Stephen Henry. We began by working on our basic movement skills. Afterwards, we practised skills such as catching the ball, dribbling it with both feet, kicking it with both feet and bouncing it with both hands.

November Parent Teacher Meetings
Due to Covid, parent teacher meetings for all classes will again take place over telephone. The meetings for Junior and Senior infants will take place on Mon 22nd Nov. I am using an online form that allows you to choose a time slot convenient to you. Please find it here :
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090A4AABA92BA6FF2-mroboyles
Click on a suitable timeslot and then on the “Submit and Sign Up” button at the bottom (your details won’t be visible to others). I will then try to ring you as close as possible to that time. If for any reason you cannot access the signup form (or if those time slots don’t suit), just send in a note with your preferred time and I will of course try to accommodate as best I can, either that day or another. It’s no problem.
Kind regards,
Mr. O’Boyle
