September was a busy month in Junior and Senior Infants! We have been very busy learning all about ourselves! Have a look below to see a snippet of the activities which we have got up to over the past month!

We were very busy learning about our senses and how we use our senses to understand the world around us.  We did many different experiments to test our senses.  We used our sense of touch to guess what was in the Feely Bag, we used our sense of smell to determine what was hidden in different containers, our sense of hearing to guess what Miss Walsh was using to make noise and we even got to test our sense of taste by eating a yummy sweet! It was great fun.  We loved listening to the 5 senses song when learning about our senses! Click on the link below and have a listen.

In Art we painted self-portraits.  Before we started we recapped on our facial features and discussed eyes, noses, mouths etc.  Each child got the chance to examine themselves in the mirror to determine the colour of their eyes and hair and to even check if they have freckles! After that the Junior and Senior infants were given freedom to begin painting. Some children got so creative they decided to paint a background!

Have a look at what our budding artists created and see if you can guess who is who! Have fun 🙂
