Newbridge: Please help us gather photographs!
For the next 2 weeks the children who come to me will be talking about Newbridge and the area in which the children live. We have been looking at photographs of buildings, shops and places in Newbridge: Whitewater, the playground, the cinema, Tesco, the pharmacy, the petrol station, the hairdressers and so on…. Please talk to your child about the places and buildings you see when on the way to school or at the weekend. We would love some more photos of Newbridge so please take photographs with your child and email to me at bairbre.elwood@scmj.ie. Photographs from all children and parents are welcome! We will post our photos of Newbridge on the website soon!

Digital Art Week 2014
This year the school got involved with Digital Art Week – an online event for Irish schools. Click here to see some of the work we posted. If you would like to see some of the other digital art done by Senior Infant children this year, have a look at our Computer Club page.
This week’s theme: Time and Sequencing
We have been learning about time, sequencing and seasons. Here are some tips to help your child with this theme at home:
- practise saying ‘Good morning’ and ‘Good Night’ each morning and night.
- talk about the differences between day and night.
- discuss the time of day – morning, afternoon, evening, night.
- use the words ‘first, then, next, after that, finally’ in conversation and when talking about past events – eg. when talking about your child’s day at school, birthday party etc.
- Practise the phrases ‘What time is is?’ and ‘It is … o’clock’
