Learning about Hinduism in Junior Infants

Junior Infants have been learning all about Hinduism over the past number of weeks. The children decorated Rangoli Patterns which can be seen on the windows of our classrooms. Hindus make these patterns on their doorsteps to welcome people into their homes during Diwali. We also made Diva Lamps in our Art lesson.

Junior Infant Gardeners
May 13, 2011 By
Junior Infants were busy gardeners today planting sunflower and sweet pea seeds. Firstly each of us put some compost into a yoghurt pot. Then we made a hole in the middle of the compost and popped in our seeds. Next, we covered over the seed with compost. We also know that plants need water to grow, so we watered them. We can't wait to take care of our plants over the coming weeks and watch them grow into beautiful flowers. Keep an eye on the website for updates and pictures of our … [Read more...]

From this each child came up with their own ideas on plot, settings and charachters. We are currently at the drafting stage and I have to say they are very exciting, descriptive and imaginative stories. This week we have also … [Read more...]
S.I. – Chinese New Year
February 4, 2011 By
This week in Croí na Scoile Senior Infants have loved learning about Chinese New Year. We had already learnt about China as part of our SESE curriculum earlier in the year but it was lots of fun to celebrate the new year. We watched the story of how all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac had a race to find out which year they would be. And we were very excited to learn that the Chinese believe these animals look after us all our lives. Some of us have monkeys and cockerels looking after us … [Read more...]
