Senior Infants had a fantastic Sports Day in the school field. The children took part in a variety of fun races, including a running race, bear crawl race, egg and spoon race, and an obstacle course. Everyone gave it their best effort and had lots of fun. The school was divided into red, blue, and white teams, which added great team spirit throughout the whole school. 

Senior Infants and First Class had a great time on our recent visit to the park. The children really enjoyed spending time outdoors with their friends and playing games. 

A Special Visit from Emma Byrne

As part of Active Schools Week, we had a very special visitor in Boherbue NS—Emma Byrne, a former Irish international soccer player! Emma is the goalkeeping coach for the Irish women's team and she’s also Joey Byrne’s aunt, which made the visit extra exciting for our class. She came to our school the day after Ireland played Slovenia in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. We got to meet Emma, ask her questions, and hear all about her amazing soccer career. It was a brilliant experience and we loved having her in our school! 

Zumba with Deirdre

As part of Active Schools Week, we had a fantastic Zumba class on Thursday with Deirdre, a brilliant dance instructor. The children had so much fun dancing to songs like Baby Shark, Sleeping Bunnies, and The Gummy Bear Song. There was lots of energy, movement, and giggles as we followed the fun routines. It was a great way to stay active and enjoy music together. 

We finished our seaside art projects by drawing a seagull and adding it to our seaside backgrounds. Check out our finished masterpieces! 

This week, Senior Infants were thrilled to receive their pen pal letters and eagerly read the replies. The excitement continued as they jumped straight into writing their next letters. See Senior Infants in action as they wrote their replies in the photos below! 

Senior Infants began their seaside-themed artwork this week, painting bright backgrounds of sun, sea, and sand. They’re all set for next week’s art lesson! 

Senior Infants had great fun playing sports outside in the sunshine! They enjoyed learning football skills with their coach Eamonn and TY students, and had a go at playing hockey too. It was a fantastic way to stay active and make the most of the lovely weather.

Senior Infants had a fantastic time celebrating Easter! They took part in an exciting Easter egg hunt, working together to crack a secret code hidden in the clues. Back in the classroom, they enjoyed creating colourful Easter chicks in art. 

Senior Infants learned how to make and paint pinch pots in art. They had fun shaping the clay and decorating their creations with colourful designs.

Senior Infants had a fantastic time celebrating Lá Glas! They dressed in green and took to the stage to perform 'Ceann, Gualainn, Glúin is Cos' and 'Mo Chairde' as Gaeilge, and they did an amazing job. To make the day even more special, the children received a treat when they returned to school – the ice cream van arrived, bringing smiles all around! 

Senior Infant students worked with their computer buddies to create wonderful 'All About Me' writing pieces on Google Docs using the Chromebooks. They shared fun facts about themselves, their favourite things, and even included a picture. In the process, they also learned important skills like typing and how to use a Chromebook. 

Senior Infants had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day! Their 4th Class Reading Buddies joined them to read exciting storybooks, making the day extra special. 

Senior Infants learned about space and Neil Armstrong’s moon landing. They had fun creating artwork of astronauts landing in space.

Senior Infant students had great fun using Bee-Bots to explore coding and problem-solving through hands-on activities!
