While learning about different jobs that people do in Senior Infants we decided to think about what we would like to be when we grow up. There were lots of brilliant suggestions! Some boys and girls wanted to be vets, bus drivers and painters while others wanted to be doctors and nurses. We wrote down what our dream job would be and why. We then decided to put our work into envelopes and posted them to the school. We had to include the school address and put a stamp on each envelope. After learning about the job of a postman we knew that our letters would arrive soon! We were really excited when Karen delivered them to our classroom (thanks Karen!) and we each got to open up some post. Every pupil got to read about what another person in the class wants to be when they grow up. We were really pleased to talk about lots of different jobs together.
What we would like to be when we grow up!
Writing the school’s address on our envelopes. We made sure to try and write really neatly.
There was great excitement in our classroom when our post arrived!
Opening our post!
After all of the excitement and a very lively class discussion about our dream jobs we decided to go out on an Autumn nature walk. Before heading out we talked about some signs of Autumn that we might find like conkers, berries and colourful leaves. Once outside we tried really hard to use our sense of sight to find as many signs of Autumn as possible. We were pleased to find the things we expected like lovely red and yellow leaves and colourful berries! We recorded our results when we got back inside.
Nature Walk!
We are also working very hard on our reading in Senior Infants and had great help from a wonderful work experience student recently. Lauryn was so kind to the pupils and gave our whole class some lovely books to enjoy reading. We hope Lauryn will come back and visit soon so that she can hear how much our reading is improving!
Lovely new books to read!
