Circus paintings, Senior Infants

We have been speaking about the circus in school recently.The children did different circus acts to music - tigers jumping through hoops,acrobats,trapeze swingers,tightrope walkers and juggling clowns. Then they painted their favourite circus acts.They came up with some very interesting things - including human canonballs!

Our autumn paintings, Senior Infants

We used the leaves we gathered to make pretty Autumn pictures.The children used sponges and whatever colours they liked to paint the background and then did leaf prints on top of that.The end result was lovely.

Bertie the Yellow Bus

Friday, September 10th, 2010

He's Bertie the yellow bus

On his way to collect us

He'll chug along

As we sing our song

He's Bertie the yellow bus.

We painted Bertie the yellow bus, and we stuck on his windows, doors, wheels, and of course his big smiley face. He is a school bus and he is very happy to be carrying lots of happy children. We will be talking next week all about buses, bus drivers, how to get to school safely, and safety on the bus, and in cars. Please talk to your children about road and traffic safety - it reinforces all we do at school. Thanks!

Worms in apples

Tuesday, June 1st
We have a wormery in our class. We have lots of juicy worms in it. Luckily, they are happy to stay there! Today we coloured apples and worms, then we wove the worms through the apples. They look happy there.
