Matching words and pictures in Junior infants

We are getting very good at matching the names of the Sunny Street Characters to the pictures.  

The children tell me they practice every night.  Well done to them!

Storyteller in Ballybane library

Titch the witch in Junior infants

A friendly witch has come to stay in our classroom. Her name is Titch The Witch.  Her broom stopped working and so she is staying in our classroom at night making potions and leaving notes for us to find in the morning.  We all work together and write a note back to Titch every morning.  We think of the questions we'd like to ask Titch and teacher writes it all down on the note for Titch.  Titch sometimes leaves Halloween activities and art ideas for us to try out.  She left lots of decorations for us and we all helped to put them up in the class to make Titch feel at home. 

We made spooky ghosts, pumkins and bats for Titch already.

Rhyming words in Senior infants

We are getting very good at rhyming words.

We can say lots of words that rhyme with rat, with map, with hag, with man, with ham and with Dad.

We love looking for rhyming words and we even have a song that goes:

"I wish I had a cat, had a cat.......

And if I had a cat, I would.............."

This song changes every time we sing it.

Ask us to sing it for you at home.

Making words

Today we made words using people.They had to turn into whatever word we put on their heads!

"Room on a Broom" in Senior infants

We have been reading a great story about a witch.  It is called "Room on a Broom".  We have a small version of this book in our room, and teacher borrowed the big book, so we could all have a good look at the pictures and the words.

Today we took out our instruments, and we used them, and our voices, to put in all the sounds from the story.  Have a look at us giving a huge big ROAR like the dragon in the story.  The ROAR sounds even more fierce when we use our instruments to help make our voices even more scary.
