Conker Season!

Autumn time has arrived in Junior Infants!
Today we examined and discussed the fruits of the horse-chestnut tree.
We hope to use these conkers to work on our estimation and counting skills in Maths as well as including them as part of our Aistear 'Autumn' theme in October.

Each week the children in Junior Infants learn some useful phrases 'as Gaeilge'. Why not ask your child what the Frása na Seachtaine is for the week!
To date we have learnt the following:

Seachtain 1: Seas suas!. Suígh síos! (Stand up! Sit down!)
Lámha suas/lámha síos, más e do thoil é! (Hands up/hands down, please!)

Seachtain 2: An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas, más é do thoil é? (May I go to the toilet please?)
Oscail mo bhuidéal/mo bhosca lóin más é do thoil é/ le do thoil. (Open my bottle/ lunch box, please)

Seachtain 3: Dún an doras, más é do thoil é/ le do thoil! (Please shut the door!)
Oscail an doras, más é do thoil é / le do thoil! ( Please, open the door!)

Seachtain 4: Múch na soilse, más é do thoil é/ le do thoil! (Please switch off the lights!)
