Senior Infants
Welcome to Senior Infants – a fun and important year where children continue their exciting journey of learning and discovery!
In Senior Infants, pupils build on the foundations laid in Junior Infants as they develop essential skills in reading, writing, maths, and Gaeilge. This year is full of play-based and hands-on learning activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
Our classroom is a happy and supportive environment where every child is encouraged to explore, ask questions, and work together with their classmates. We also focus on developing social skills like kindness, sharing, and respect, helping pupils become confident and caring members of our school community.
This year the Senior Infants teacher is Ms Lynch. There are 25 boys & girls in this class. We look forward to a wonderful year in Senior Infants, filled with laughter, learning, and new friendships!
Senior Infants Celebrate World Book Day 📚✨
To celebrate World Book Day, the children in Senior Infants enjoyed a lovely creative activity in class. They designed and made their very own bookmarks to use when reading their favourite stories.
The children used lots of bright colours and creative ideas to make their bookmarks unique. It was a fun way to celebrate books and encourage a love of reading.
Well done to all the boys and girls in Senior Infants for their wonderful work. Happy reading!
Senior Infants Enjoy a Wonderful Spring Walk 🌼🌸
Our Senior Infants made the most of the dry morning with a lovely walk around the school grounds and local area.
The children were very excited to head outdoors and explore the signs of spring all around them. Along the way, they spotted colourful flowers beginning to bloom, listened carefully to the birds singing in the trees, and noticed the fresh green leaves appearing on the branches.
It was a fantastic opportunity for the boys and girls to observe nature up close and talk about the changes that happen during the spring season. They showed great enthusiasm as they shared what they could see, hear and smell on their walk.
Back in the classroom, the children enjoyed chatting about their favourite spring discoveries and even used their observations to inspire some lovely follow-up work.
Well done to our wonderful Senior Infants for their excellent listening, walking and exploring skills. Spring has truly sprung!

Most importantly, the children learned that Valentine’s Day is about showing kindness, friendship and appreciation for others. We are so proud of the effort they put into their artwork and the love that inspired it.

Senior Infants Welcome Spring🌻🌻
Our Senior Infants have been busy celebrating the arrival of spring with a wonderful burst of colour and creativity! Taking inspiration from the bright spring sunshine and blooming flowers around us, the children created their very own sunflower art.
This activity gave the children the chance to explore textures, practise their cutting and painting skills, and express themselves creatively. Most of all, it was a joyful way to welcome the new season and brighten up our classroom walls.
Well done to all our talented young artists — spring has truly sprung in Senior Infants!
St. Brigid's Day ✜🍀
Our Senior Infants had a wonderful time learning about St. Brigid and the tradition of making St. Brigid’s Crosses to celebrate the start of spring. Adding their own creative twist, the children designed and created beautiful colourful crosses using a variety of bright materials.
They carefully folded, wove and arranged their pieces, practising their fine motor skills while showing great patience and teamwork. Each cross was unique, bursting with colour and creativity, and the classroom looked lovely with their finished artwork on display.
Well done to our fantastic young artists for their amazing efforts! 🌼
Mr Men & Little Miss 😜🙂
Our Senior Infants had great fun getting creative as they designed and made their very own Mr Men and Little Miss characters. The children drew colourful characters with big personalities and lots of imaginative details.
Each child chose a name and special traits for their character, from kind and helpful to silly and super speedy! The classroom was filled with colour, creativity and wonderful ideas as their unique artwork came to life.
Well done to all our fantastic young artists! 🌈
Senior Infants Blast Off Into Space 🚀🛸
Our Senior Infants have been reaching for the stars over the past few weeks as they explored the exciting theme of Space through play, creativity and hands-on learning.
The classroom was transformed into a hub of young astronauts, scientists and space explorers. The children learned all about the sun, moon, stars and planets, discovering fun facts about our solar system and imagining what it might be like to travel in a rocket ship or walk on the moon!
We are so proud of the fantastic teamwork, creativity and enthusiasm shown by all our budding space explorers. Who knows — we may have some future astronauts in our class!
Well done, Senior Infants — the sky is not the limit! 🌍
New Year 🎉🎇
Senior Infants enjoyed celebrating the New Year through a creative art lesson. Using bright colours and imaginative designs, the children expressed their hopes and excitement for the year ahead. Their finished artwork is a wonderful display of creativity and enthusiasm.
Christmas 🎄🎅
Our Senior Infants have been busy bringing the magic of the festive season to life through their beautiful artwork. Over the past few weeks, the classroom has been filled with colour, creativity, and plenty of excited chatter as the children explored winter themes, seasonal colours, and holiday traditions.
The festive art encouraged the children not only to express themselves creatively but also to practise important fine-motor skills such as cutting, colouring, and gluing. Most importantly, they had great fun working together and taking pride in their finished creations.
We are delighted to share their wonderful work with our school community and hope it brings a smile to everyone’s face during this joyful season. Well done, Senior Infants!
