September:
We have had the most incredible start to our school year by welcoming our new school family members into the Junior Room!
Our Junior Infant students have been so excited to start reading. So far we have learned 10 new sounds and we have even started learning to read and spell words all by ourselves!

The Junior Room have also been learning all about our Senses!
So we created another piece of artwork based on expressionism and used Wassily Kandinsky as our inspiration.
We illustrated how we feel when we hear different sounds, like cars moving, people talking or the school bell ringing!
