Hedgehogs in Junior infants

We had great fun finding all the shapes that were hidden in the clay..  We made a hedgehog body and added the spikes.  It was hard work putting all the spikes into the clay and we needed to make sure the spikes were close together like on a real hedgehog. 

We have learned a song about Harry Hedgehog.  We know he is getting ready for a big sleep by gobbling up the berries and the insects and the worms.  He is going to have a big rest for the Winter time and he doesnt wake up until the Spring time. 

On our tour to Briget's Garden we learned of lots of animals that like to have a big sleep for Winter.

Friendship bracelets in Junior infants

We love threading and doing activities with our hands.  We discussed all about friends.  Friends we have at school and home.  We think we should treat everybody the way we would like to be treated.  So we made friendship braclets to show we are all great friends in this class.  We think they turned out brilliant.  We think they even look as good as the ones you can buy in the shop.
