Juniors & Seniors

Welcome to Juniors & Seniors/ Naíonáin

Class Teacher: Mrs Elliott

September has been a busy month in Junior and Senior Infants. It has been lovely to welcome so many new faces to the school and we have taken time to get to know each other and settle in. We enjoyed preparing for the Ambassador’s visit and made flags in art. In Irish we have been learning about ‘mé féin’ and ‘ar scoil’. We have learned lots of new songs and rhymes, played games like ‘Deir ó Ghrádaigh’ and ‘Cad atá sa mhála’. We have also learned to recognise words that rhyme in Irish. We have done lots of work on making our fingers and bodies strong so they are ready for writing. We have been using Pom-poms and feathers with tongs, playdough, pegs and stickers. In maths we have been sorting objects and also learning about length, weight and capacity. We had great fun outside comparing leaves by length. We have started music with Carrie from Music Generation and Playball with Jodie. 

Junior and senior infants have had a fantastic first fortnight back in school.

We have been practicing our routines like lining up, getting ready to listen and tidying up.

We have been doing lots of activities to get our bodies, hand and fingers ready for writing.

In Maths we have been doing lots of matching and comparing. We made matching socks! Senior Infants have been working with numbers 1-10.

We have learned lots of words and phrases as Gaeilge and have practiced saying them using our class puppets. We have also learned songs and rhymes like ‘Lámh, lámh Eile’ and ‘Mise an Traein’.

We have learned the rhymes ‘Humpty Dumpty’ and ‘Incy Wincy Spider’ and have practiced sequencing the rhymes and did art based on them too!

Well done Junior and Senior Infants for working so hard! 

We had a Goat-Tastic Day in Hewetson NS!

🎒🌟 A Wonderful First Week! 🌟🎒

Our Infants had a fantastic first week getting settled into life at Hewetson NS! 💛

There were lots of new routines to learn, friendships to make, activities to enjoy and plenty of fun along the way. We are so proud of how well everyone has settled in and we are looking forward to a wonderful year ahead! 🥰📚🖍️
