Christmas in Junior Infants

Junior Infants had a very busy and exciting month in the lead up to Christmas. 

To start off the Christmas season, we had a new addition to our class. Santa sent one of his scout elves to live in our classroom. He flew back every night to the North Pole to report what he saw during the day. There was great excitement every morning to see what our elf “Buddy” had been up to. 

In Aistear, our theme was Santa’s Grotto. The children had fun dressing up as Santa and other Christmas characters. They also helped to decorate the  Christmas tree.

The children wrote their letters to Santa, and in the playdough area, they worked on with winter and Christmas themed playdough mats. The children in the Small World area used lollipop stick characters to act out different scenarios in Santa’s Grotto. 

We did lots of different Art activities over the month of December. Have a look at our Angels, Snow Globes, and Christmas Stockings. We also helped teacher and Erica decorate gingerbread houses.
