Big Trip








We learned lots of things in Brigit's Garden.
We learned what a mouse needs to survive and that the fox likes to eat mice.

We searched for leaves and hazelnuts on a scavenger hunt.We made a home for our friend Mighty Mouse to hide from the owl and fox.  The owl has big eyes and can find the mouse very easily.  We put leaves, twigs and moss into the home for the mouse. This is called camouflage. We think Mighty really liked the homes we made.  We hid them in different places around the garden.
 

We listened for the song of three birds; the blackbird, the robin and the Chaffinch.

We played lots of games and had great fun.  

Using Nummber Fans

We love playing number detective with our number fans.  Teacher calls a number and we find that number hidden in the fan. 

Sorting in Junior Infants

We've practiced finding things of different colour and we were fantastic.  Teacher's toys got all jumbled up so we needed to help her sort them out.  Luckily we are all ready good at sorting now and we fixed all the beads and pegs into sorting trays by colour.

The First Day

I gave you a wink and a smile
as you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave 
and know your child must stay.
You've been with him for five years 
                    now
and have been  a loving guide, 
but now, alas, the time has come
to leave him at my side.
Just know that as you drive away 
and tears down your cheeks may 
                     flow
I'll love him as I would my own 
and help him learn and grow.
So please put your mind at ease
and cry those tears no more 
for I will love him and take him in 
when you leave him at my door.

We all had a great day on our school tour today to Loughwell pet farm in Moycullen, even the teachers had fun!!
We saw lots of interesting animals, fed a lamb, and even touched some of the animals. 
I think the favourite part for alot of us was the tractor ride although all of it was brilliant.
