We enjoyed learning about this artist.Canon Harvey visited the Chagall gallery in Nice and sent us some images of Chagall’s paintings.He also sent us a photo of Chagall’s grave in St. Paul de Vence. Thank you Canon Harvey.

Maths Fun
We have lots of fun in our Maths lessons in Junior Infants. We use lots of equipment. We play card games. We get to practise our numbers with play doh and on our own whiteboards. Recently we went on a number hunt maths trail around our school looking for numbers. We were number detectives. We really enjoy our Maths lessons.
Busy artists in the Junior Room
We have been busy since Christmas making lots of art. We made warm, snuggly winter outfits for our little people shapes with lots of different pieces of fabric. We made lovely Valentine art – we called it Blowing Kisses. We also made cards for the ones we love for Valentines’ Day. They’ll be delivered on the special day!!!
