About Senior Infants
Welcome to Senior Infants at St Joseph’s N.S!
Senior Infants is a time of growing independence and exciting discoveries. In this class, children build on the skills they’ve learned in Junior Infants, diving deeper into literacy, numeracy, and creative expression. Our playful and engaging approach ensures that learning is fun and meaningful. Through hands-on activities, group projects, and interactive lessons, we encourage each child to develop their confidence, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of teamwork. Senior Infants is all about nurturing curiosity and preparing children for the next step in their educational journey with enthusiasm and joy.
On Tuesdays we attend GAA in O’Brien Park with our coach Buddy. The boys & girls are learning new hurling skills and have lots of fun learning through new games.
We had lots of fun searching for Easter eggs with the Easter bunny and chick! We found lots of treats hiding around the garden. The bunny and chick even posed
We did a Spring clean around our school. We put on our gloves and picked up litter around our school. We love to keep our school clean!
As part of our St Patrick’s Day preparations, we learnt the dance Shoe the Donkey. We got into pairs and we had to listen to the music carefully to know
We took our literacy and maths games outside while the sun was shining. We skip counted, used dice to add and played read and roll.
The boys & girls had a lot of fun designing beautiful outfits for themselves. They worked with a friend to trace outlines of each other and then created colourful outfits
