Hocus Pocus Come to Visit

4/7/2019

Over the past number of weeks we have been learning all about the vet in Aistear. This has been an extremely enjoyable and fun topic. Talia's mum, Gail, came to visit the class last week. She brought her French bulldog puppy. She explained to the class about bringing the puppy to the vet for check ups and to receive vaccinations. Gail also showed us Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus is a corn snake. Gail told us all about snakes; how to look after them and what kind of food they eat. Rory, Niamh, Lucia and Johanna all had a turn of holding Hocus Pocus. Mel even had a turn too!

Thank you so much to Gail for coming to visit us. We really enjoyed it!

A Visit From a Nurse

Glen, Elise's Dad, visited both classes recently. He works as a nurse at CUH. He told us about his job and he showed us some of the equipment he uses in his job. He showed us a stethoscope and a heart monitor. He also showed us how to measure blood pressure. He also wore scrubs that doctors and nurses wear at hospitals. Thank you so much for visiting us!

The Building Site

Over the past few weeks the children have been very busy learning all about the building site. During Aistear they were working as architects to design buildings and using their tools to construct some fantastic homes, schools and even hotels!! Junior Infants A & B are very safety conscious on the building site and always remembered to wear their high visibility jackets and hard hats while on site!!

The Post Office

For the past number of weeks Junior Infants have been learning all about the post office.

Before Christmas they wrote cards to send in the post. We went for a walk to the post office on the last week of the first term to post the letters..

A Visit to the Carrigaline Library

11/25/2018

Thank to the school's Active Team Partnership Committee for organising a visit to the library for the Junior Infant classes. Both classes visited the library on separate days. They walked from the school to the library where they were greeted by Mary the librarian. Mary read some lovely books to the class. She also played some really fun games with us as well. Both classes got to explore the children's section of the library and look at some books. We all had a great time and are looking forward to going there again!

Science Fair

Junior Infants really enjoyed the Science Fair that was held in the school a number of weeks ago. The Science Fair is held in the school every year to mark Science Week. 3rd and 4th classes had their Science Fair on Thursday whilst 5th and 6th classes held theirs on the Friday. It was very interesting to listen to and partake in some fun and exciting experiments.

This month in Aistear we are learning all about the restaurant. We are really enjoying it. Here are some photos of us doing some of the activities.

We are really enjoying and are looking forward to some of our parents joining us in Aistear over the next few weeks.
