Well done to all the great boys in Senior Infants who have been so busy planting potatoes, strawberries, spinach and turnip!
The theme for Aistear this month was the garden centre. We had some very eager gardeners in the class, visiting the garden centre to buy pots and seeds and then planting them at the potting station.
At the construction table, the boys were busy making their own garden centres.
While at the play dough table, the boys were creating flowers, fences, hoses and many more objects that you would buy in a garden centre.
At the role play section, the garden centre’s most popular purchase was the lawnmower.
R6 researched and completed projects on the 17 Global Goals.
They are now ‘Global Goalkeepers’ who are more educated on climate change and improving our world for the better.
