Baby Elena
As part of our project based on the theme of 'Myself' and 'Me as a baby' baby Elena and her mom visited our class today.
We asked Sarah (Elena’s mom) lots of questions about her and she showed us some of Elena’s baby things (her blanket, toys, book etc.) We sang and signed a ‘Hello’ and a ‘Goodbye’ song
for her and gave Sarah a special book of wishes for Elena.
Thanksgiving
As part of our B.S.S.E. subject the children have been learning about Thanksgiving
which will take place on 28th November. We enjoyed reading "The Thankful Book"
by Todd Parr and we also made
Thanksgiving turkeys with our buddies.

Science Week
We had fun doing lots of experiments during
Science Week. We did a Balloon rocket activity,
a Dancing raisin experiment and a Skittles rainbow activity.
This month’s Aistear theme is ‘The Hospital’.
We have set up a role play hospital department. The children love to take turns acting in the roles of the receptionist, patient, nurse or doctor and role playing different scenarios.

Diwali
As part of our B.S.S.E. subject the children are learning about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light. Diwali comes from the Hindu word Deepavali which means “row of lights.”

We are going to colour in Rangoli patterns and make Diwali cards.

Grandparents Day:
We celebrated 'National Grandparents Day' on Friday 4th October. Many thanks to you all for sending in photos and information about the childrens' grandparents during the week. The children really enjoyed talking about their grandparents and it was a lovely opportunity to celebrate grandparents who live near and far away and to remember those who are longer with us. We hope you enjoyed your visit to Junior Infants!

We tasted apples dipped in honey in class.
