SENIOR INFANTS

Our first term has been a happy and busy one in Senior Infants! Each morning begins with free play, giving our class time to settle in to their day and enjoy learning through play with their friends. Throughout the term, they have had lots of opportunities to express themselves through chatting to one another, art, movement and play, while building their confidence and independence which is an important part of Senior Infants. What a great bunch they are! :)

MATHS

Senior Infants really love Maths... especially if our hands on activities involve Smarties!

They have been learning early Maths skills such as counting, sorting and recognising numbers in a fun and meaningful way. Being active helps the children to stay engaged and gives them confidence. Their smiles show that they really enjoy learning Maths through play.

INTERCULTURAL DAY 2026

What a fantastic day we had celebrating Intercultural Day 2026 in Good Shepherd. Our class chose the country of Brazil. We worked hard to create a class poster with interesting facts about Brazilian landmarks, lifestyle, animals, food, traditions and culture. Thank you to our class parent and pupil that put so much time and effort into creating a fabulous display. They even freshly baked us some traditional Brazilian food. We tasted Pao de Quijo, a Brazilian cheese bread and delicious Brigadeiro which are a classic Brazilian treat similar to chocolate truffles. They were yummy!

Afterwards, the whole school went to the hall to celebrate together by singing and dancing.

Well done to all the classes, teachers, parents and of course our HSCL Teacher Ms. Smith who worked hard to put this day together.
