Junior and Senior Infants had a great time participating in our Sports Day.

We had so much to do. We took part in fun races like the sack race, the egg and spoon race and the three-legged race. We played football and took penalties. We tried the tug-of-war and enjoyed playing with the parachute. A great day was had by all.

Junior and Senior Infants travelled to Co. Kildare to visit Clonfert Pet Farm for our school tour. We had such a great time! We were busy all day trying out a variety of activities. We had fun on the bouncy castle, driving go-karts, playing football and playing in a few of the many playgrounds.

We enjoyed being brought on a guided tour of the farm and zoo to see lots of interesting animals and birds. We saw guinea pigs, owls, llamas, alpaca, rabbits, sheep, ponies, meerkats and a porcupine to name a few.

The fun didn’t stop on the farm. On the coach we entertained ourselves by chatting, singing songs and sightseeing out the windows.

Some of the activities we enjoyed can be seen in the photos. Senior infants tried the mini-golf and we all had a go on the zip-line. We even had time to fit in some play in the indoor soft-play area.

Our ‘buddies’ gave us tips on how to play nicely with toys during yard time. In return, we showed them a folk dance called ‘Skip to my Lou’.

This month we explored clay and in the process created imaginative pieces of work!

Senior Infants constructed dragon puppets in preparation for the Chinese New Year which is on February 10th.

All the boys and girls in Senior Infants are delighted to begin dancing with Bernie again.
