Junior Infants

We had a special day at school today to commemorate the Easter Rising of 100 years ago.
Every body dressed up in old-style clothes. We brought artefacts into school. 4th and 5th classes did a Pageant about the events of the 1916 Rising. The senior Infants sang a song on the stage for the whole school. "Bhi Leipreacan ina Shui Faoin gCrann".
Sergeant David Ryan of the Irish Army 6th Battalion (father of Bonnie Ryan) came into school to raise our tri-colour. All pupils and teachers stood to attention while the flag was raised and sang Amhran na bhFiann, our national anthem.

Enda's Great-great grandad was in the 1916 Rising

We have been learning maths through play and fun activities. We had 4 weeks of a programme called Mata sa Rang, when several teachers and helpers came into our classroom and did an intensive number programme with us.

We had Friendship week in Killygarry during February. During the week we talked a lot about how to be a good friend. We learned how to stand up for ourselves and our friends. A new friendship bench was launched in the yard. If anyone needs a friend to play with, they sit on the bench and someone comes along and invites them to play.
