We took a close look at two caterpillars who have been eating cabbagee in our garden all summer long! They are the white cabbage caterpillar and will turn into the white cabbage butterfly after they fall asleep in their cocoons for a few months. Our caterpillars kept trying to escape, so we decided to free them into the garden.
We love writing our new sounds and tricky words on Writing Wizard and on our whiteboards.
We have been working on sorting and matching in maths.
Tuesdays are Tasty Tuesdays in Infants. We get to try new fruits and vegetables. So far we’ve had grapefruit, mango and red apples straight from the garden.
Cooper has started going on his adventures at the weekend. Each weekend he goes to stay in one of our houses. We enjoy doing everyday things with Cooper at home and telling everyone about what we got up to when we return to school on Monday.
The PA kindly surprised us all with a visit from the ice cream truck on Friday. We were so excited to get our ice creams.

Welcome to our school!
We want to give a BIG welcome to all the boys and girls in Junior Infants, our newest pupils in Scoil San Treasa! They are settling in so well and Ms McNerney is delighted with how well they are doing.
The Juniors are so lucky, because they have great company with the Senior Infants this year. The seniors are very grown up and welcoming. They are very able to help the Juniors with getting used to being in Primary school.
