I'm sorry about this video being sideways. I've videoed it multiple times, in all directions and no matter what I do, it's uploading sideways! This sums up my battle with technology!

To my Senior Infants and their Parents,
I've sent you some work for the coming week. It is all attached below. If you click on the button, you'll find the work schedule for each day. Below each button are any necessary files for downloading or printing. As I've said previously, this work is just a suggested timetable for the coming week but it's up to you to choose whether to complete it all or sections of it. This work is similar to what we do each day in school, so after a quick explanation, most children should be able to complete it independently. In any writing exercises (sentences/free writing etc) do not worry about spellings, at this age children spell phonetically by sounding out words and this is what I encourage in school. I'm available throughout the week if you're having any trouble, just send me an e-mail on m.doyle@scoilmhuireleixlip.com and I'll help in any way I can.
Take care and enjoy the return to school-work!

A Quick Hi From Ms. Doyle
April 3rd, 2020
Hi to all my Senior Infants,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I still miss you all so much but have gotten lots of e-mails and pictures of all the work you've been doing, the games you've played and invented and the fun you've had drawing, baking and exercising. You can continue to send me your pictures over the next few weeks and I'll put them on this page for everyone to see. My e-mail is m.doyle@scoilmhuireleixlip.com.
I know that you were all probably well able for the work I assigned this past week, but if you did get stuck on anything or found something hard - don't worry we will catch up on everything when we return to school.
The next two weeks are the Easter holidays and like a normal holiday, I will not be assigning any school work for you to do. However, there are lots of different activities that you could do further down on this page - exercises, arts and crafts and so on. After Easter, I'll be updating the website daily with new work to keep you learning.
Finally I would like to wish you and your families a very Happy Easter, mind yourselves, wash your hands and don't eat too many Easter Eggs!!
I miss you all and hope to see you very soon,
Ms. Doyle
To all my Senior Infants,
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe at home. It's strange not being in school every day but hopefully we'll be back to Scoil Mhuire soon with huge smiles on our faces, delighted to see our friends again.
We've been very busy in my house over the past few weeks. We've done some schoolwork, lots of playing and art, lots of bouncing on the trampoline and baking buns and cakes. We've also been washing our hands throughout the day to make sure we stay healthy, I hope you're all remembering to do the same!
I gave you some work before we left school to last a couple of weeks, so I'm just going to update the list for the coming week. If you're doing anything exciting or fun with your family, you could take a picture and send it to me. I'll put it up on our page so all of your friends can see it too. You can e-mail pictures to m.doyle@scoilmhuireleixlip.com
Most importantly, we have 3 birthdays coming up soon. We won't be able to wish our three friends a Happy Birthday in person, but if you'd like to make a card and send me a photo for this page, that would be great! All birthday cards sent to me will be added to our class gallery below. We're looking forward to singing you all Happy Birthday when we're back to school!

-We've also been doing lots of drawing on The Art Hub for Kids on YouTube. It has easy step-by-step drawing lessons that are easy to follow.

That's all for now. Keep working away at home and getting out for some fresh air, at a safe social distance! Hopefully this will be over very soon. I really miss you all so much and can't wait to see the photos you send.
Take care,
Ms. Doyle
World Book Day
Rapunzel Challenge
As part of Engineer's Week, we participated in the Rapunzel Challenge. Our aim was to rescue Rapunzel from her tower using a variety of recycled materials. We had so much fun taking part and came up with very novel ideas, including rescuing her in a space ship, allowing her to jump onto a trampoline and building a water slide from the tower into a swimming pool! I think we have a few budding engineers in Senior Infants!
Rice Krispie Buns
We made rice krispie buns as part of our learning about the Procedural Writing genre. We really enjoyed making them, tasting them and writing up the process!
Friendship Week
Grandparent's Day
Looking at Houses in the Locality
We have been studying different types of houses so we decided to take a walk around the area to look at a variety of houses. We saw detached and semi-detached houses, bungalows and apartments.
Open Day
Science Week
In Senior Infants, we joined up with Ms. Hanafin's Class to carry out two experiments. The first one was about air pressure. We blew up 15 balloons and placed a table over them. Then we tested how many people we could stand on top without bursting the balloons. The second experiment used Skittles and water to show colours mixing. We even got to taste the partly dissolved Skittles.
Jersey Day
We dressed up in our favourite jerseys for GOAL today and raised lots of money for charity!

Our First Aistear Session
After a couple of weeks of preparation, we began Aistear today. We've learned lots of vocabulary about school and we enjoyed using our new words and phrases pretending to be principals, teachers and pupils.

A Visit to the Garden
We visited Gairdín Uí Dhálaigh to explore the five senses. We looked at and touched different plants, smelled lots of herbs, heard birds and tractors and even tasted some spring onions. We really enjoyed our visit and hope to come back as the seasons change.
Our First Day in Senior Infants
We had lots of fun on our first day back in school. We made jigsaws, played some Maths games and enjoyed catching up with our friends.
