Our Aistear theme  was The Healthy Eating Cafe. We learned all about healthy eating, food groups, the importance of brushing our teeth and eating healthily to stay healthy, active and happy.
We wrote recipes for delicious healthy smoothies (thanks to parents for all the fruit contributions) and then really enjoyed drinking them!

We constructed amazing cafe’s and restaurants using blocks and lego. We designed healthy and unhealthy lunchboxes in our cutting and pasting station.

We had fun going in role as chefs, waiters and waitresses and customers in the cafe and we wrote some excellent healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes.

We did an experiment to find out the bad effect sugary drinks like orange juice and especially Coke can have on our teeth. We found out that milk and water were kindest to the shell of the egg which is like the enamel of our teeth.

The excitement of Christmas has definitely arrived in The Sycamores as we prepare for the holidays. We got a lovely gift all the way from the North Pole last week, a 'Santa Cam' to make sure all the boys and girls are behaving themselves in class. We worked really hard to create decorations for our Christmas tree. All the pupils enjoyed decorating the tree!

The pupils in The Sycamores have been learning all about the number 6 this week and exploring different ways they can make the number six through rhymes, classroom hunts, white board work and using different materials to make sets of 6.

We've been very busy in the Sycamores settling into a new school year in Senior Infants. We started off our Aistear with the theme of 'School'. Pupils constructed their own versions of our school, dressed up as their favourite teachers in the school and even took on the role of the teacher!

Dear Parents

Welcome back to a new school year and I hope everyone is settling in well at this stage. We are holding a Parents Information Night on Thursday next 10th September at 7.00pm.   Parents of Junior Infants to 1st Class go to the small hall in the school building at 7pm for general meeting with the Principal followed by classroom meetings.

Thank you, Noreen.
