Aistear in Action
We have been having great fun in Aistear this October. We have been using an integrated approach to learn all about Hallowe'en. We have learned lots of songs/amhráin, poems/dánta, dances and listened to lots of stories. We have enjoyed lots of child-led play along the way aswell. Check out some photos of our Aistear in Action!
iPad fun!
We have been hard at work practising our maths skills in school - now we are using IXL on the iPads to see how much we have learned! This is such great fun and a brilliant chance to use ICT to enhance our learning.
Let's make some music!
We made some music shakers using different materials - it was so interesting to hear the different sounds made by each shaker. Everyone did a brilliant job on designing their own shaker - we are very creative here in the infant room at Roundfort NS!
Merry Christmas from the Junior & Senior Infants at Roundfort NS!
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from the infant room at Roundfort NS. We can't wait for Santa to come - we have been talking about it for weeks!

Maths Week 2022
We had a great time doing all things maths for Maths Week 2022!
|
We had a live webinar with Sally Lunt (author of 'Cuthbert the Croc Sees Double') where we explored the concept of doubling numbers. While this proved to be a tricky concept in the beginning, even the Junior Infants were joining in by the end! |
We also used our school's Bee Bots during Maths Week. These little programmable robots are a perfect introduction to coding, programming and using directional language. It took some time in the beginning but we definitely got the hang of it after a few tries. We had great fun getting the Bee Bots to follow our directions and steps to arrive at a certain destination on the different maps!

We had an amazing time getting ready for our very first school concert! Although we couldn't have our usual show at Christmas due to Covid-19 restrictions, we held an Easter concert instead.

We had great fun for Engineers Week 2021. We talked about how engineers are so important and are responsible for so many things in our lives - we even managed to fit in references to 'Frozen 2' when we were talking about civil engineering and dams! Then, we put on our own engineering caps to design and construct paper aeroplanes. As part of Engineering Week, we also learned about pressure using balloons and a table. Even Mr. Canny joined us for this one!!

Below are the winners from the junior end of the school, Lucy Canny (Ms. Glynn's room ) and Leah Connelly (Ms. Forde's room).
We are learning all about sunflowers!
We have been learning all about sunflowers recently and we were delighted when we got the opportunity to plant our very own sunflowers. Many thanks to Shóna for all of her knowledge and expertise. We followed this up with creative drawings of sunflowers, and by making sunflowers from paper plates and straws!
Active Schools Week 2021
For Active Schools Week this year, we decided that we would run the distance from our school to MacHale Park in Castlebar. This is about 30km, so we each ran three laps of our school every day. When we added this all up, it came to 255 laps between all seventeen of us! We had great fun during the week and really looked forward to our laps every day.
Mayo Day 2021
As Mayo Day fell on a Saturday this year, we couldn't let the occasion slip by without supporting our county and proudly showing off our Mayo colours! Even Ms. Glynn managed to find a Mayo jersey for the day that was in it!!
Introducing our new Bee-Bots!
Our school has just recently purchased some Bee-Bots and we had the great honour of using them for the first time. These are a great introduction to programming and encourage lots of mathematical thinking. Many thanks to Mr. Canny for introducing the Bee-Bots to us, we really enjoyed using them!
Experimenting with materials - is it waterproof?
As it rains so often here in Ireland, we decided to investigate what materials would be suitable for us to use to make waterproof raincoats for our teddies. We tested some common household materials and also tested some of our own raincoats! We found some materials to be waterproof, while others were absorbent.We also completed some artwork inspired by Ireland's wet weather.
Zoom with Dublin Zoo
We have been learning all about different animal adaptations that help animals to survive in the wild.We were extra lucky to have a Zoom call with John from Dublin Zoo, who very kindly answered all of our very many questions.
Incorporating ICT into our artwork
We love art here in the infant classroom and today we combined it with our new school iPads to make our creations come to life. How amazing!!

We have been busy bees this September
We have had some amazing learning take place in our Junior and Senior infants classroom this September. Our Aistear theme for September has been 'School'. During our theme we went on a tour of the school and saw all the different rooms we have. We saw all the classrooms, school hall, staff-room, kitchen, school shop and our caretakers room. We also talked about all the different jobs people have in our school like our principal, secretary, caretaker and teachers.
We have 5 play stations in our room, a construction area, play dough table, funky fingers table, role play area and a sand area. During our theme we made all different kinds of schools in our construction area, we pretended to be teachers in the role play area, we drew what we see on on way to school at the funky fingers table, we found different objects from school in the sand and in the play dough area we created different objects we have in our classroom.
Take a look at some pictures below!

Junior and Senior Infant School Tour 2018
On Friday June 8th, we set off to Loughwell Farm Park in Moycullen. We were all given a buddy to take special care of. We had a fantastic time on the slides and in the indoor play area. Next we moved on to using giant Lego and bowling. Happy hoppers were really exciting and we bounced our way around the sand pit! The go karts went down a treat and we learnt about the importance of driving one way. The playground featured a tractor and school bus with slides. There was a fabulous role play area with a fire station, restaurant, post office and supermarket. The barrel train was a favourite for us and it took us around the grounds of the park. At the end of our tour, we went to visit the animals and got to hold them. We were all so well behaved, remembering our manners, taking care of our partners for the day, obeying rules and putting our rubbish into the bins. When we got back to school, we were all exhausted after an incredible day of fun and great memories!
Making the most of the Sunshine
Over the past couple of weeks, we've been getting outside as much as possible especially for P.E., maths and science. We have also had a few picnics outside, learning the importance of using our lunchbox as a bin until we get back inside. The children show an admirable respect for the environment! The most exciting activity we engaged in was making ice-cream. Here's hoping the sunshine continues!
Our Fabulous Art Work
Great Excitement!
We have had a very exciting couple of weeks, with the entry of Ms. McDonagh in the Galway Rose Selection! We made some lovely banners and were a great support for our teacher!
A Visit from the Dentist
We recently had a very exciting and informative visit from the hygienist at Ballinrobe Dental. We learnt the most effective ways to keep our teeth happy and healthy and we were shown the quantities of sugar in some of our favourite treats. We practiced brushing a giant model of teeth in circular motions. Now we are all set for our Aistear theme of 'The Dentist'!
Beating the January Blues
Junior and senior infants have had an exciting January. We have engaged in station teaching for maths and are exploring the 'Post Office' as our Aistear theme this month. We have been making stamps, envelopes, letters, postcards and posting our letters in the classroom postbox. We brought in a toy for 'Show and Tell' after our Christmas break and got to see and hear all about one another's fabulous toys! It was like our very own Toy Show! Also, we have been walking and jogging laps of the school and are improving everyday! If all of this wasn't entertaining enough we won classroom of the month for our positive behaviour and we had a very special visitor, a PUPPY!!!
January Stars of the Month
Congratulations to the Stars of Junior and Senior infants this month. All children in the class show fantastic manners and care for one another. These pupils stood out this month as making a special effort. Well done, we are very proud of you!
Whoops-a-Daisy Angel
We worked exceptionally hard to prepare our Christmas play and the end result was certainly well worth it. All of the children recited their lines fantastically and most importantly had fun on stage. The music and singing was something we are hugely proud of. We hope you all enjoyed our performance of 'Whoops-a-Daisy Angel'. The artwork we created for Christmas created great excitement around the school and was on display for our Christmas play.
Halloween Excitement
Junior and senior infant pupils had great fun preparing for Halloween. The children performed at the school's assembly and explained the history of Halloween to the other classes in the school. We were all so excited and we performed wonderfully! Our admirable behaviour, good manners and hard work meant that we won classroom of the month in the school. The children dressed up in terrifying costumes and were unrecognisable! If all of this wasn't exciting enough, we baked cookies in the shape of spiders, bats, cats and ghosts to celebrate Halloween!
Aistear Fun at the Doctor's Surgery
The children in junior and senior infants have been learning about bodies and how to stay healthy. In our role play area, the children have been dressing up and playing doctor's surgery. This has helped us to learn complex vocabulary such as 'appointment', 'prescription' and 'stethoscope'. We take turns role playing the patient, receptionist, nurse and doctor.We have also been making skeletons and humans at our art station. At the play dough station, we have been creating healthy and unhealthy foods. Building hospitals, ambulances and humans from lego and blocks has been great fun!

We are still working on our February theme Clothes. The children have been learning about measures and have been measuring the doll's clothes using different resources. They really enjoyed using the mini whiteboards and pens. They used words such as 'length', 'width', 'long' and 'wide'. They were able to compare different clothes lengths and widths. Active learning at its best!!

An Exciting Ice Experiment!
Today our class took part in a very exciting science experiment all based on ice! The investigation question was, 'What would melt ice the quickest, on its own, with sugar, with salt or with food colouring?' The children first of all had fun describing the ice as they felt it. Some words used were: cold, slippery, cracked, smooth, wet, circular, icy and heavy. We all got a turn to put ice in the bowls and added a different item to each bowl. We took predictions on what would we thought would melt the quickest. We then put on the timer and waited. An hour and a half later, we got results! We found out that SALT melted the ice the quickest! Well done to Junior and Senior Infants for all your hard work!
Our Winter Snuggly Hats
We decided that we needed snuggly winter hats! The children designed patterns for their hats using a range of materials of different textures and shapes. They cut and glued their materials on and were very proud of their art pieces! We have very creative children here in Junior and Senior Infants!
Construction at its best!
Here's a little look at the amazing construction pieces the children have created for our polar animals!! Great work!
