December Playtime

December was a very busy month in the Infant room. We were busy preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus. We wrote our letters to Santa, made sparkly Christmas decorations and built many toys in the Construction Area.In the Role Play area the elves were extremely busy checking to make sure the toys sent in from Construction were of good quality and were perfect for the children in Killeshandra.  Some elves read the letters they had recieved from the post man and they prepared the toys for Santa, All the toys were wrapped and packed into Santa's sleigh for Christmas night. It was a very exciting playtime for all our Infants.

November Playtime

Homes and Houses

November Playtime (Aistear) was all about "Homes and Houses". To prepare for our playtime we listened to the story of "The Three Little Pigs". Niamh brought in a new book about the three little pigs called " Pigs might Fly" which was a sequel to the first story. It was a really great story!!

We talked a lot about the types of houses we all live in and the types of homes you can see in Killeshandra. We learned about the dangerous items that can be found in our homes. In the creative area we built houses for the little pigs using straw, lollipop sticks and cardboard bricks.Below is a selection of photographs of the great fun we had during our Hour of Play.
