patient, nurse or doctor and role playing different scenarios.
Our Diyas.
Diwali
As part of our B.S.S.E. subject the children have been learning
about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light.
Diwali comes from the Hindu word Deepavali which means
“row of lights.”
The Festival of Diwali will take on Thursday 4th November
and celebrations last for 5 days.
We are learning about some of the customs and
traditions associated with the festival.
Jolly Phonics
Junior Infants are following the Jolly Phonics literacy scheme.
It is a multi-sensory and child centred approach to teaching literacy.
The children will learn 2 new letter sounds each week.
Every Monday and Tuesday the children will learn a new sound in class.
Please encourage your child to practice saying their letter sounds
and doing the appropriate actions on a daily basis.
Your child can also practice letter formation by
completing the writing activities in their copy.

Our Hand Prints
Here are my hands with ten fingers in all,
My first mark in school to hang on the wall.
As years go by, I will remember and say,
"My hands and I had a good first day!"
