Intensive Literacy with senior infants

Last week we began Intensive Literacy lessons with Miss Linnane, Miss Kearney, Mrs Daly and Miss Flaherty. Each day from 12pm to 12.30pm we work together in groups and we do various literacy activities (phonics, reading and writing). We are really enjoying these activities and love getting a new and interesting book each day to read in class and at home. Our class wants to say a big THANK YOU to all the teachers involved.

Handa's surprise

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

We have been reading a really nice story called "Handa's Surprise".

In this story Handa puts seven different delicious fruits in a basket to take to her friend Akeyo as a surprise.  But Handa's walk takes her past a variety of animals, and the fruits do look very inviting......

 We read this book and watched the DVD of this story and of the story of Handa's Hen.

We had lots of interesting questions and comments on the story and we especially loved reading about all the different types of fruit, especially after our food tasting day yesterday.
