Things got chilly in Junior and Senior Infants this month. This month we turned our classroom into Antarctica, we built igloos, made penguins, created compasses and went exploring using maps and a globe. 

The Cinema came to Scoil Chaitríona!!

The Senior Infants are working very hard on their handwriting since September. Look at some of the beautiful pieces that were produced on Monday 😁

In Aistear this month we learnt all about Space. We had lots of work to do to prepare for our trip to Space. 
We made rockets with junk art & polydrons, painted Planets, made a planets jigsaw, dressed the astronauts for Space, wrote important lists of what we needed for Space & then took off on our adventure in our Spaceship from our space station.
