Jolly Phonics Fun!

We are nearly finished learning all of our Jolly Phonics sounds! Now we can practice blending our sounds together!
Jolly Phonics is a fun way to learn sounds and begin your child’s reading journey. Continue the learning at home through consistent practice. Many parents find the Jolly Phonics app very helpful and even better, it’s free!

Junior Infants make pizza!

Junior Infants have spent the month of April learning all about food. We have focused on procedural writing this month: How to Make a Pizza.

The girls really enjoyed following the steps to make the pizza and enjoyed eating it even more!

Active Schools Week!

Junior infants have been super at every Active Schools Week challenge! Make sure to check the homepage and try them out at home!

ASW Plank Challenge


Sensory learning!

A great way to practice phonics and handwriting is through exploring our senses. Junior infants love using sand, rice, cocoa powder and playdough to remember their sounds and correct letter formation!

The Easter Bunny came to visit!

We got such a shock when the Easter Bunny came to Virgin Mary GNS! He was very kind and every girl received an Easter egg and some Easter treats!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Back to School! Learning all about the farm!

We are all so excited to have the girls back in school! It’s been a fun week learning all about the farm and being back together again!

We have learned our first sound!


Seesaw Stars!

We really miss being at school and learning together but the Junior Infants at Virgin Mary GNS have been doing an amazing job at learning from home and taking part in all of the activities! Keep up the great work girls, we will be back together soon!

Welcome to our online classroom!

We are using Seesaw to continue our online learning journey. It is a simple app that’s allows us to continue our education while schools are shut.
