Junior Infants Room 2

Today is our last day of school for 2018 and to celebrate all that is Christmas, Scoil Mhuire had a visit from a very special guest! Santa Claus himself came to say a quick hello to all the boys and girls before heading back to the north pole to finish getting his reindeer ready. Only 4 more sleeps to go!

We had super fun in room 2 making yummy Christmas puddings out of chocolate. Have a look at the pictures to see all the fun we had melting, mixing and making! The best part? licking the bowl of course! Merry Christmas xx

Room 2 have been working very hard in recent weeks on our nativity. We got to proudly show off our efforts to the parents at the junior infants Christmas concert held yesterday 18th December. What great fun we all had!

As you know November's theme is Food this month and we have been doing all things food related! Today we were talking about where our food comes from and we learnt that cows not only give us milk but that we get cream, butter and even ice cream from a cow! We also had a go at making our own butter which was a roaring success. 6th class even came in to help us. We learnt all about the science of introducing air to the cream making it thicken and then separate into the curd- the fatty part which we eat and the whey protein which is drained away. The best part by far was of course getting to taste the butter we made. We enjoyed crackers with our very own home made butter!
