Senior Infants
Welcome to Senior Infants – a fun and important year where children continue their exciting journey of learning and discovery!
In Senior Infants, pupils build on the foundations laid in Junior Infants as they develop essential skills in reading, writing, maths, and Gaeilge. This year is full of play-based and hands-on learning activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
Our classroom is a happy and supportive environment where every child is encouraged to explore, ask questions, and work together with their classmates. We also focus on developing social skills like kindness, sharing, and respect, helping pupils become confident and caring members of our school community.
This year the Senior Infants teacher is Ms Burke. There are 22 boys & girls in this class. We look forward to a wonderful year in Senior Infants, filled with laughter, learning, and new friendships!
Exploring Numbers in Senior Infants 🔢✨
In Senior Infants, we have been having lots of fun exploring how numbers can be put together and split apart in different ways. We have been learning about combining and partitioning numbers through practical activities, games and lots of hands-on learning.
Using counters, cubes, ten frames and other classroom resources, we have been discovering that a number can be made in many different ways. For example, we have explored how 5 can be made using 2 and 3, 1 and 4, or 5 and 0.
Through our games and activities, the children are developing their number sense and becoming more confident in explaining how numbers can be composed and decomposed. We have been encouraging the children to talk about their thinking, share their ideas and find different ways to make and break apart numbers.
It has been wonderful to see the children enjoying their maths learning, working together and discovering that there is more than one way to make a number!
Senior Infants Art 🎨🖌️
Since September, Senior Infants have been enjoying lots of fun art activities. The children have been exploring colours, drawing, painting and creating with different materials.
We are very proud of their work and have enjoyed putting together lovely art displays to show their creativity. Well done, Senior Infants! 🌈🖍️
