Welcome to Senior Infants
Our Vet's Surgery
We are very busy at the moment in our surgery looking after lots of different animals. If you would like to make an appointment for your pet please contact the Senior Infants at KETNS. Here are some photos of us at work...
Spring has Sprung!
As it is Springtime, Deirdre came to visit us and helped us plant flowers and vegetables. We decided to use lots of recyclable materials to plant with as we think it's very important to care for our environment. There are some photos of us with our recycled 'pots'. We are really looking forward to Summer when our vegetables will be ready to eat and we can make a salad together, yum!
Waterproof?
We have been learning about different materials and what different materials can be used for. Last year when we were in Junior Infants we made 'Feely Hands'.
Now we decided to test which materials are waterproof so we collected a range of objects, each made something different. Below is a picture of the various items.
Our next task was to predict, which of the items would repel water. We then tested to see whether our predictions were correct and recorded the results appropriately.
World Book Day 2014

What would you like?
Lilly brought in her toy supermarket so would play 'shopping'. Her shop came all the way from Holland! We had a great time during Aistear (http://www.ncca.ie/en/Curriculum.../Aistear.) pretending to be shopkeepers and customers.
Whales
We learned all about whales. We even carried out an experiment to see how whales blubber kept them warm in very cold water.
Bird Feeders
We made bird feeders so we could the hungry birds throughout Winter. This is how you can make them too.....
